Abstract: The invention relates to a device for extracting carbon-containing substances, in particular bitumen, from oil sands. The device comprises two separate steam circuits. The first steam circuit is a closed steam circuit, in which a steam turbine (3) is operating. The second steam circuit is an open steam circuit and is used for extracting carbon-containing substances, in particular bitumen, from oil sands. The steam turbine (3) comprises an intermediate steam removal facility (4), wherein the intermediate steam is used to evaporate the water/vapor in the second steam circuit via a heat exchanger. The invention further relates to a method for extracting carbon-containing substances by means of the previously described device.

Abstract: An abradable seal, in particular for rotors that are mounted on magnetic bearings, has a sealing shell, the sealing shell having an oval opening for accommodating the rotor. A sealing arrangement includes such an abradable seal.

Abstract: A steam turbine system including a steam turbine is provided. The steam turbine system includes a high-pressure side steam inlet device, a low-pressure side steam device, and a control device for controlling the steam turbine. An additional steam inlet device is also included arranged between the high-pressure side steam inlet device and the low-pressure side steam device. The control device control a supply of steam via the additional steam inlet device as a function of operating parameters detected at the steam turbine system.
