Dilbit (dil uted bit umen) is a bitumen diluted with one or more lighter petroleum products, typically natural-gas condensates such as naphtha. Diluting bitumen makes it much easier to transport, for example in pipelines.

2016年7月1日 · Oil sands facilities produce one of two products: either a heavy marketable diluted bitumen (commonly referred to as Dilbit), or a light synthetic crude oil. Dilbit is a heavy sour crude, while synthetic crude is a light sweet oil, produced only through bitumen upgrading .

Diluted bitumen (Dilbit) products are unconventional crude oils created by mixing bitumen, which is a highly viscous form of petroleum with a density close to 1 g/cm3, with a lighter hydrocarbon (diluent) to meet the minimum requirements for transport in pipelines (viscosity <350 cSt and density <0.94 g/cm3).

The resulting homogeneous mixture is referred to as “diluted bitumen” or dilbit. Trans Mountain has safely been transporting diluted bitumen for 30 years. Diluent is typically either light crude, such as ‘synthetic crude’, or ‘condensate’, which is …

2012年6月26日 · What is dilbit? Dilbit stands for diluted bitumen. Bitumen is a kind of crude oil found in natural oil sands deposits—it’s the heaviest crude oil used today.

Diluted bitumen ("dilbit") is thick, heavy crude oil from the Alberta tar sands (also known as oil sands), which is mixed with a thinner type of oil (the diluent) to allow it to flow through a pipeline.

Bitumen would not flow through a pipeline efficiently, so it is mixed with diluents to be readied for pipeline transportation as diluted bitumen, or ‘dilbit.’ Diluents are usually natural gas condensate, naphtha or a mix of other light hydrocarbons.
