MINIMIZE DISPOSAL AREAS

Achieving maximum production potential, and minimizing cost is crucial to the success and profitability of any Oil Sands operation. With world-leading manufacturing capability, dedicated global R&D and technical support, SNF is ready to help you realize the potential you can obtain using SNF chemistries, novel applications, and specialized support.

Water management is crucial to any Oil Sands operation. SNF polymers provide effective ways to recycle clean warm water back to the upstream process, saving valuable money on excess raw water use and utility cost. SNF products, along with expert application services and equipment to suit any need and site condition.

In addition to water management, SNF has created several novel tailings management technologies that can be adapted to reach specific performance goal. Having a solid and reliable tailings management solution will help reduce capital commitment, valuable land requirements, enhance overall ability to reach ‘ready for reclamation’ government requirements and save money in terms of re-handling costs, plus many more benefits.

SNF specializes in the development and manufacture of a range of products specifically designed to meet all your tailings and process needs. With emulsion, liquid and powder manufacturing capability, SNF Oil Sands chemicals include:

Water Treatment Flocculants and Coagulants
Rheology Modifiers
Scale Inhibitors
Drag Reducers
Dust Suppression
Freeze Control Aids
Reclamation Aids

As a proven technology, SNF products have made it possible to completely dry up many effluent storage ponds (MFT) for reforestation.
