Value Chain Solutions Inc.
Sustainable Solutions for Oil Sands Industry
& Global Refineries
Our Solutions
VCG proprietary technology scheme enables upfront De-carbonization and Partial Decontamination of bitumen very selectively and cost effectively. This drastically simplified the subsequent Upgrading and Refining technology complexities and severities, leading to step-changes in capital cost, operating / energy costs, and consequently GHG emission.
VCS Upgrading produces High Quality Medium Crudes that best-fit Conventional Conversion Refineries, by far the majority of global refineries.
VCS Upgrader can be readily adopted to produce Premium Fuel Products ( e.g. IMO 2020, very High Cetane Diesel ) with fast growing demands , most cost competitively.
VCS Technologies provide the following benefits to the Oil Sands Industry:
-
De-Carbonize Bitumen UPFRONT, leading to Drastic Simplification, and Capex/Opex Savings (and GHG Reduction),
-
Increase Market Diversification as COLF can be processed by majority of the world's refineries
-
COLF eliminates the need for diluent thus Debottlenecking existing pipeline infrastructure
-
COLF is a higher value product with no associated diluent costs thus enhancing value to producers
Our Complex
VCS is implementing merchant upgrading and specialty refining facilities with licensed technology from VCI. The first commercial complex, located in the Alberta Heartland is a "shovel ready" project, called VCS-H.
VCS-H will provide a cost effective means to convert bitumen into high value products in an environmentally responsible manner.
The Complex has a very simple, yet, elegant process configuration, which is made possible by VCI’s proprietary technologies and upfront De-carbonization.
VCI's technologies implemented in the VCS-H Complex are:
ADC™ - De-Carbonization step
COC™ - Thermal Cracking step
WRHP™ - Hydrocracking step
These technologies constitute a powerful combination for producing premium products.
VCS-H is located in the Alberta Heartland near key logistics hubs that provide access to pipelines, utilities, rail and road access.
VCS-H, has adequate land holdings to expand the complex to process over 500,000 BPD
WHAT'S NEW ?:
Value Creation Inc.
Heartland Complex Regulatory Application
May 1, 2023
Value Creation Inc. ("VCI") strives to Catalyse Profitable Transition of Oil Sands Industry to [ C – Neutral Clean Oils ],
paving the way for eventual [ Net-Zero Clean Power ].
Value Chain Solutions Inc. ( “ VCS “ ), our wholly owned subsidiary, will play a pivotal role, providing “ commercial business models ” for each stage of the transition … to be later implemented at resource regions.
With the new strategy, VCI will withdraw its current Expansion Application and the corresponding IAP, with the intention to submit an application for a large Merchant SDC Complex ( with low emissions ) upon commercial operation of SDC-1
As Stage 2 of our development, VCI plans to submit an application for Salt Cavern development of 477,000 m3 ( about 3 million barrels ), with integrated operation with SDC.
