Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Blends of bitumen, clay, and quartz in water are obtained from the surface mining of the Athabasca Oil Sands. To facilitate its transportation through pipelines, this mixture is usually diluted with locally produced naphtha. As a result of this, naphtha has to be recovered later, in a naphtha recovery unit (NRU). The NRU process is a complex one and requires the knowledge of Vapour-Liquid-Liquid Equilibrium (VLLE) thermodynamics. The present study uses experimental data, obtained in a CREC-VL-Cell, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for vapour-liquid-liquid equilibrium (VLLE) calculations. The proposed Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) do not require prior knowledge of the number of vapour-liquid phases. These ANNs involve hyperparameters that are used to obtain the best ANN model architecture. To accomplish this, this study considers (a) R2 Coefficients of Determination and (b) ANN training requirements to avoid data underfitting and overfitting. Results demonstrate that temperature has a major influence on ANN vapour pressure predictions, while the concentration of octane, the naphtha surrogate having, in contrast, a lesser effect. Furthermore, the ANN data obtained allows the calculation of octane-in-water and water-in-octane maximum solubilities.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
