Volume 15 No. 1 A Newsletter from Cryogenic Industries Summer 2005 World’s largest single-unit air separation plant Member companies contribute expertise to ground-breaking fuel project ryogenic Industries member companies ACD and Cryoquip upper well; steam rising through the oil sands and heating the bitu- are contributing their expertise in building the world’s largest men; and, bitumen flowing with condensed steam (water) into the single unit air separation plant. The Long Lake Project is a lower well, and then to the surface. The end result will be a premium C joint venture between OPTI Canada Inc. and Nexen to produce a synthetic crude, produced in an economically, environmentally, and premium synthetic crude. The project will produce and upgrade socially responsible way. Long Lake’s resource base is vast enough bitumen into a high value synthetic crude oil at a significant cost to sustain 60,000 barrels per day of synthetic crude oil production advantage over competitive technologies, by virtually eliminating for more than 40 years. Long Lake is located approximately 40 km the need for externally purchased natural gas. (25 miles) southeast of Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. The project will use steam assisted gravity drainage technology Air Liquide Process and Construction Inc. has been selected for the (SAGD) to recover bitumen. The bitumen will be partially upgraded construction of a world-scale air separation unit to supply large using OPTI’s proprietary OrCrude™ process, followed by conven- quantities of high purity oxygen and other utility services to the tional hydrocracking and gasification.
