editFroth treatment typically separates bitumen from other components of the ore. Froth treatment does not upgrade the bitumen or *necessarily* create diluted bitument. For example, see http://oilsands.infomine.com/commodities/soir/oilsands/welcome.asp?i=oilsands2. The original Clark Hot Water Extraction method involves froth without diluent. Sometimes, diluent is added to help separate bitumen from the tailings, but this is different from "dilbit" that essentially a pipelined commodity. If naptha or toluene is used as a froth diluent, pipeline transport is not practical. See http://canmetenergy.nrcan.gc.ca/oil-sands/404. I recommend removing the recent change to the Dilbit article.--Rpclod (talk) 18:31, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
