GASOSYN Energies Canada

Oil Sands Solutions.

GASOSYN Energies Canada is a division of

Franbec cda ltd,

a company

established 35 years ago to work in energies, biomass and gas industries.

GASOSYN Energies Canada is promoting the installation of Thermocyclingtm plants, using

our thermocracking reactor called GASOSYNtm.

We are proposing a new and unique solution to clean the polluted tailings ponds resulting from
rejected water from oil sands treatment.
Our solution is to use our Thermocyclingtm process. Taking for example, 100 pounds
of oil sands, collected and transported to the treatment plant, to fuel the GASOSYNtm, we can get
1 to 1,3 barrel of clean distillated water from tailings ponds.
These dirty tailings ponds can be emptied and the cleaned water reused in boilers for steam
underground injection processes, to recover the oil.
The sand, used for fuel, exiting the GASOSYNtm, is in fact sterilized at high temperatures and is
free of oil. No other product added, only oil is taken out from the sand. It can then be used for
reclaiming or other uses...
The solids from the tailings ponds are circulated in the GASOSYNtm and dried, while traces of
organics in it are used as fuel in the process. Dried solids can be disposed of in numerous ways.
A Thermocyclingtm plant can be adapted to numerous other applications. The cleaned SYNGAS
can replace natural gas or, with additional transformation, generate diesel or gasoline, still
having enough residual heat to distillate water in tailings ponds.

Thermocycling applied to Albertas Oil Sands to clean ponds of dirty water.

Oil sands extraction produces dirty water
usually held in ponds. Raw oil sand as
collected can be used to feed our
GASOSYNtm Thermocracker. No other fuel
required. We have our own autonomy; no
connections needed to natural gas or
electricity.

100 pounds of oil sand can produce 1 to 1.3 barrel of distillated water.

A Thermocyclingtm Plant is an assembly of technologies to use the residual heat from hydrocarbons
thermocracking and maximize the overall process efficiency. The source of fuel can be any type of solid
or liquid organic materials but we give priority to raw oil sands and/or residues of heavy fractions, not
pumpable to the refinery. With Thermocyclingtm the heat sources are used to distillate the polluted water
from storage ponds. We recover the organics and return the cleaned water, to replace the fresh water for
boiler uses or directed back to the river under continuous sampling recording.
Using a Thermocyclingtm Plant will make oil sands industries more ecological friendly.
