Age, Biography and Wiki

Karl Clark was a Canadian chemist and geologist who is best known for his work in the development of the hot water separation process for the extraction of bitumen from oil sands. He was born on October 20, 1888 in Georgetown, Halton Hills, Canada. He attended the University of Toronto, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1910 and a Master of Science degree in 1912. He then went on to pursue a doctorate in geology at the University of California, Berkeley, which he completed in 1915. Clark began his career as a geologist for the Alberta Research Council in 1916. In 1920, he was appointed as the first director of the Alberta Research Council's Oil Sands Research Laboratory. It was here that he developed the hot water separation process for the extraction of bitumen from oil sands. This process is still used today in the oil sands industry. In addition to his work in the oil sands industry, Clark also conducted research in the fields of geology, chemistry, and mineralogy. He was a member of the Royal Society of Canada and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Clark died on August 15, 1966 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He was 78 years old.

Timeline

1966

Dr. Clark retired from the Department of Mining Engineering at the University of Alberta in 1954 but continued to provided advice to the developing oil sands industry. In 1958 he signed a formal retainer with the Great Canadian Oil Sands consortium, which eventually became a major asset for Suncor. He continued to do research at the Alberta Research Council until 1963. He died of cancer on December 7, 1966, in Victoria, British Columbia.

1929

Dr. Clark built a prototype separation plant in the basement of the university's power plant, followed by a larger plant on the outskirts of Edmonton, and in 1929 the Alberta Research Council patented the process that he had developed. Later testing was done on the outskirts of Fort McMurray near Waterways, and farther north at Bitumount.

1915

Clark earned Bachelor's and master's degrees from McMaster University before obtaining a Doctorate in Chemistry from the University of Illinois. He began work at the Geological Survey of Canada in 1915, where he became interested in oil sands. In 1920 he moved to Edmonton and joined the University of Alberta and a forerunner of the Alberta Research Council, where be began experimenting with separating bitumen from the Athabasca oil sands, a large oil sand deposit in northeastern Alberta.

1888

Karl Adolf Clark (20 October 1888, Georgetown, Ontario – 7 December 1966, Victoria, British Columbia) was a chemist and oil sand researcher. He is best known for perfecting a process that uses hot water and reagents to separate bitumen from oil sands.
