Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a method comprising providing a slurry stream comprising bitumen, water, and solids; measuring a natural radiation parameter of the slurry stream; based on the measured natural radiation parameter, obtaining an estimated fines to fluid mass ratio (FFR) of the slurry stream, and based on the estimated FFR, automatically adjusting a process parameter of an oil sand processing plant.
