Refinement of a Bioelectric Sensor to achieve real-time quantification of BOD

The necessity of cost-efficient and reliable wastewater treatment processes has increased in order to meet more stringent levels of environmental regulations, increased system reliability requirements and tightening operational budgets. To aid in meeting these operational goals, a strong market for low-cost, high-fidelity sensor technology that can relay real-time information to system operators on all aspects of wastewater treatment system performance has developed. This project looks to advance an existing prototype biosensor to the point of marketable as an end-of-pipe regulatory Biochemical Oxygen Demand monitoring device. The success of this project will produce a technology with the capability of reducing the duration/incidence of environmental contamination events, and future development of the biosensor and platform would allow for improved management of wastewater infrastructure and treatment processes. This sensor technology will well support the aforementioned goals and reduce the impact on ecosystem and human health from incompletely treated wastewater.

Polymer Composites and Thermoformed Thermoplastics for Engine Fire Zones

This project is intended to develop the technology to form high performance plastics reinforced with carbon fibre (polymer composites) in order to produce lighter parts to replace conventional metallic parts. As the parts may be exposed to fire during use, a comparison between different material systems under fire exposure is also required to have a better understanding of those materials in this condition and if they would withstand the necessary requirements. The proposed project may contribute to accelerate the integration of plastic composites in gas turbine engine components of the partner organization, and offer potential cost savings coupled with possible component weight reductions.

Improvement of the fire resistance of Discontinuous Long Fiber Thermoplastic Composites for gas turbine engine applications

Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) is interested to further investigate the use of novel Polymer Matrix Composites (PMC’s) technologies, in order to improve their products by reducing weight and increasing performances of their engines. Current applications of PMC’s in P&WC’s engine are mostly limited to cold section parts (< 100°C), nonstructural external components, and nacelle skin panels. Most of the parts are manufactured using a traditional hand lay-up process, and are consolidated using autoclaves, which involves high cost and long manufacturing time. Thermoplastic composites are an interesting alternative to reduce the processing time, and manufacturing costs of complex engine parts. Recent development showed that thermoplastic composites with Discontinuous Long Fibers (DLF) manufactured by compression molding can lead to significant weight and cost savings. TO BE CONT"D

Variable selection for uplift modeling

Insurance companies heavily fund marketing campaigns such as, for instance, customer retention or cross-sell initiatives. Uplift modeling aims at predicting the causal effect of an action such as medical treatment or a marketing campaign on a particular individual by taking into consideration the response to an action. Typically, the result of an uplift model is used to call customers for marketing some products based on important attributes of a customer. The general objective of the research project is to develop an automatic method that will enable practitioners to save time and to follow precise guidelines in order to choose attributes of a customer.

Evaluation and Identification of Gaps and Technical Challenges in Candidate Carbon Capture/CO2 Conversion Technologies Part 2

In the wake of the Paris meeting on global climate change in December of 2015 (COP21), commitments to drive down greenhouse gas emissions have escalated around the world. Man-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are accepted as the largest contributor to climate change. Promising next-generation technologies for decreasing CO2 emissions are being investigated at the lab scale. Unfortunately, the technology developers often lack next-step projects and connections with industrial end-users to allow the technology to advance and become commercialized. CMC is committed to accelerating innovations associated with industrial greenhouse gas emissions. The overall approach is to focus on rapid and cost-effective reduction of uncertainties to enable earlier decision making. This project will focus on working with technology developers to identify critical limiting uncertainties and develop pathways to address them, including through integration, adaptation, application development, pilot testing, and scale-up projects.

Isolating and characterizing lytic bacteriophages for applied use against pathogenic Escherichia coli for the poultry industry

The proposed project is to identify and characterize bacteriophages (bacterial viruses) that can reduce presence of E. coflbacteria that are an important cause of disease and production loss to the poultry industry. The reduction of levels of E. coli that can cause disease in poultry by use of bacteriophages would be an important means of controlling this economically important disease and also reduce use of antibiotics to control such infections. Reducing use of antibiotics is also importantas decreased use of antibiotics in livestock should limit increases in emergence antibiotic resistantE. coli and other bacteria associated with foodborne infections in humans. As the industrial partner, SyntBiolab Inc. will pursue the possibility of upscaled production and marketing of such a product, the isolation of such bacteriophages and development of an effective alternative to antibiotics would be a definite benefit to the partner organization.

Novel formulation for the treatment of interstitial cystitis

Interstitial cystitis is an inflammatory disease of the urinary bladder and is recognized as a serious medical condition associated with a profoundly negative impact on patients’ quality of life. Currently, there are no widely acknowledged causes of this disorder and no effective treatments available. Panag is a Halifax based drug company which focuses on development of novel therapeutic treatments which can be used to alleviate both pain and inflammation associated with IC. The goal of our research is to provide IC patients with symptom and pain relief, as well as to improve outcome. Previous research showed that the immune system is regulated by another system within our body, called the endocannabinoid system. Our approach uses special drugs, called cannabinoids, which are designed to target this system and as a result, provide symptom and pain relief and improve patients’ quality of life. TO BE CONT’D

Achieving quality control during veneer drying by using big data statistics

Veneer drying has traditionally been done using a qualitative approach. Although it is effective in assessing how any modification in parameters impacts veneer quality, it often yields a significant loss in quality due to delays involved in reaching the kiln’s steady state following parameter modification. However, kilns are now being equipped with various sensors that allow the tracking of many parameters related to both the kiln and the veneers. The research objective is to link raw material characteristics with the veneer drying process. The intern will use big data statistics to identify what process parameter have the most impact on product quality and how those significant parameters should be controlled. TO BE CONT’D

Développement d’un procédé novateur de traitement des lixiviats hautement chargés issus du procédé de compostage

Ce projet de recherche vise à développer un procédé innovant pour répondre à une problématique de traitement des eaux usées à laquelle font face les centres de traitement en Amérique du nord. Les variations climatiques saisonnières limitent les capacités de traitement du procédé conventionnel de lagunage en termes de volume de traitement et de réduction de la charge de contaminants. Cette problématique est aussi liée à une contrainte d’espace puisque d’importants bassins de rétention sont nécessaires pour recueillir les eaux en période froide. Ce projet consiste à développer un procédé combinant un réacteur biologique aux technologies de filtration membranaire pour répondre aux besoins spécifiques des centres de compostage. Ce projet est avantageux pour l’entreprise partenaire puisqu’il permettra de réduire l’empreinte au sol de son traitement des eaux et d’augmenter ses capacités de compostage tout en améliorant ses pratiques environnementales.

Développement d’une méthode de conception des sols ciments et des fondations stabilisées au ciment pour routes à l’aide de l’essai de plaque française

Afin d’obtenir une infrastructure efficace et durable, il est primordial que ses composants résistent aux intempéries et à l’usure des usagers. L’amélioration des sols d’infrastructures et des fondations routières peut se faire de différentes manières, notamment en y ajoutant un liant hydraulique. On décrit alors le résultat comme étant « stabilisé » ou en d’autres mots, amélioré. Bien qu’il s’agisse d’une technologie à fort potentiel, le Québec l’utilise peu et les lacunes d’informations pour les donneurs d’ouvrages et entrepreneurs n’encouragent pas la diversification des méthodes de construction employées. Par conséquent, un guide de conception responsable et soucieux de la performance en chantier, par l’essai à la plaque, facilite l’innovation et de meilleures solutions techniques.

Desensitization of aero-engine performance and stall margin to tip clearance gap increase

The degradation in performance and operating envelope of aero-engines with age and during critical transient operating conditions such as take-off is a well-known phenomenon. It is mainly caused by the increase in size of the tiny gap between the tip of the compressor rotor blades and the shroud, called tip clearance, from wear and/or shroud thermal expansion, which results in a drop of compressor pressure rise, efficiency and safety margin against aerodynamic instabilities. Two recent doctoral projects at École Polytechnique de Montréal carried out with numerical simulations proposed an explanation for this phenomenon in axial compressors and corrective design strategies. The present research aims to validate these findings on a spectrum of realistic axial compressors so that they can be applied to all axial compressors. This research is then extended to centrifugal compressors. TO BE CONT’D
