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 (right) and post-doctoral researcher Hossein Fadaei have developed a praocess that may save the oil and gas industry time and money. 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.” Read more at http://www.news.utoronto.ca/u-t-engineering-professor-develops-microfluidic-chips-bitumen-gas-analysis
