About Us | About UMATAC Industrial Processes

UMATAC Industrial Processes is the developer and supplier of the Alberta Taciuk ProcessATP – a flexible and scalable pyrolysis technology. The primary application of the ATP is the extraction and recovery of hydrocarbons from a wide range of feed materials, principally oil shale and various waste streams. We adapt our ATP platform to the evolving needs of industry and the novel applications for our clients.

Our office is located in Calgary, Alberta and we originally developed the ATP Technology for extraction and primary upgrading of bitumen from the Alberta oil sands in 1976. We have over 30 years of experience in oil sands, oil shales, and waste remediation. We operate an engineering office, a pilot facility, and research laboratory.

Our team of experienced engineers, technicians, and laboratory personnel have technical knowledge and field experience to support the continued development of the ATP Technology as well as investigate new applications for processing candidate feed material.

In 2010 UMATAC was acquired by Polysius, which has since been integrated into ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions (TKIS). UMATAC and TKIS can offer complete services for mine planning, ore preparation, technology and equipment supply, oil upgrading expertise, and EPC services.

A new chapter for UMATAC Industrial Processes began in September 2022 with the acquisition of thyssenkrupp’s Mining business by FLSmidth, a global leader in engineering, equipment and service solutions for the mining industry. We are proud to be part of the FLSmidth team and to add to its strong technology portfolio, which spans the entire mining flowsheet. This enables us to maximize our experience and expertise to help customers improve performance and reduce environmental impact on an even larger scale.
