OPPWet: Slurry Preparation Plants | Oil Sands Magazine
Once oil sands feed is received from the mine and broken down on the dryside of OPP, the ore is then mixed with hot/warm water to produce a dense slurry. The technology used to slurry the oil sands varies between the operator, but the objective of OPPWet is the same: produce an aerated pumpable slurry and remove any oversized material that may damage downstream equipment.
