U of T Engineering Professor Develops Microfluidic Chips for Bitumen Gas Analysis
Device could save time and money for oil/gas industry
Mechanical engineering professor David Sinton and his research team have developed a process to analyze the behaviour of bitumen in reservoirs using a microfluidic chip, a tool commonly associated with the field of medical diagnostics. The process may reduce the cost and time of analyzing bitumen-gas interaction in heavy oil and bitumen reservoirs. (more…)
