HERE'S HOW MCW'S EXTRACTION TECHNOLOGY WORKS

Preparatory Stage:  Mining and crushing of the oil sands ore to prepare for processing.

Stage 1:  Crushed ore delivered into patented fluidized bed extractor. Extraction process is performed at temperatures between 50-60 C degrees

Stage 2:  Solvent composition with extracted oil bitumen is delivered from extraction column to the evaporator and then to distillation column.

Stage 3:  Hydrocarbons (oil/bitumen) are extracted from the solvent in the distillation column and pumped to the storage tank.

Stage 4:  Solvent is recycled, warmed up and returned back to the extractor within the continuous flow, closed-loop system.

Stage 5:  Purified sands leave extractor and go through the drying process.
