Ignite Energy Resources supercritical water process diagram. IER’s proprietary supercritical water technology (SCW) transforms low-ranked coals, including lignite, directly into higher-valued oils and cleaner coal products. Work is expected to begin in mid-July with the initial plant operating by the second quarter of 2010.

SOLVE adds a solvent to the steam in SAGD (basic operation depicted above) to reduce energy input and water consumption. Unlike surface mined oil sands, in-situ recovery involves much less land disturbance, but still requires the use of water and natural gas in the steam production process. Source: StatoilHydro.
