PMAP to be presented at Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada

PMAP (Professional Mine Water Action Plan) President and principal engineer will be presenting at Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada on February 13th, 2024. He will be presenting about the possible applications of PMAP in the oil and gas industry: PMAP revolutionizes oil sand tailings treatment by employing an Unmanned Smart Dispensing Vessel (USDV) and eco-friendly reagents for in-situ wastewater treatment. In-situ treatment eliminates the need for utility power, making PMAP a sustainable, cost-effective solution for oil sand tailings, improving environmental impact and water treatment in the oil sand industry. Key technology components include the Unmanned Smart Dispensing Vessel (USDV) and controlled release of innovative neutralization reagents. The USDV optimizes treatment by continuously monitoring water in tailings and injecting the optimum reagent amount through iterative cycles. This adaptive learning process maximizes efficiency and minimizes costs. PMAP eliminates the need for large-scale treatment facilities, hence, reducing CAPEX. In addition, using the USDV cuts operating costs to %50. PMAP efficiently removes metals, including silica, nickel, copper, and cobalt, reducing arsenic, aluminum, and iron to undetectable levels. The PMAP reagent outperforms traditional methods, preventing pH overshoot and reducing sludge volume, boosting ESG scores.

How can PMAP’s technology be applied to oil sands tailings?

PMAP’s system enables in-situ treatment of oil sands tailings using its USDV platform and controlled-release reagents. The vessel monitors water conditions and delivers precise dosing directly within the pond, reducing the need for external treatment infrastructure.

Does PMAP’s approach reduce costs compared to traditional oil sands treatment methods?

Yes, PMAP’s in-situ approach reduces both capital and operating costs by eliminating large-scale treatment facilities and optimizing reagent use. The use of autonomous vessels and adaptive dosing can significantly improve efficiency and lower overall operational expenses.

What environmental benefits does PMAP offer for oil sands operations?

PMAP’s technology reduces sludge production, prevents pH overshoot, and improves removal of dissolved metals. Its in-situ treatment approach minimizes environmental footprint while supporting ESG performance and regulatory compliance.
