A method to extract and process bitumen from oil sands involves processing in a pulse enhanced fluidised bed steam reactor, cracking the heavy hydrocarbon fractions, producing hydrogen in situ within the reactor and hydrogenating the cracked fractions using the natural bifunctional catalyst present in the oil sands. This method produces inert oil sands for soil rehabilitation and an upgraded oil stream.

La présente invention concerne un procédé d'extraction et de traitement de bitume provenant de sables bitumeux, impliquant le traitement dans un réacteur à vapeur à lit fluidisé amélioré par impulsion, le craquage des fractions d'hydrocarbures lourds, la production d'hydrogène in situ dans le réacteur, et une hydrogénation des fractions craquées en utilisant le catalyseur bifonctionnel naturel présent dans les sables bitumeux. Ce procédé produit des sables bitumeux inertes pour la réhabilitation des sols et un flux de pétrole valorisé.
