The Water Technology Development Centre (WTDC) is a live fluid test facility constructed at Suncor Energy Inc.’s Firebag oil sands facility. The vision for the WTDC is to safely develop water technologies that reduce environmental impact, reduce capital and operating costs, increase reliability, and improve the sustainability performance of Alberta’s thermal in situ oil sands projects. This project was funded through the Water Innovation Program and the Recovery Technologies Program.
