The project consists of a study on the disposal and upgrading of dried and dehydrated sludges from the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater. The study would be limited to the province of Quebec. As a specialist in the treatment of wastewater, Degrémont supplies high performance technologies for the dehydration and drying of wastewater treatment […]

L’ocre ferreuse est un dépôt visqueux d’hydroxyde ferrique ayant généralement la couleur orange, qui se dépose sur la surface des systèmes de drainage et colmate les drains. La déposition de l’ocre résulte de deux processus, biologique et chimique, qui peuvent se produire seuls ou en concomitance. Compte-tenu de l’importance de cette problématique, l’entreprise Soleno, en […]

Fusion energy has the potential to revolutionize how we generate electricity, and pave our path towards a netzero carbon future. Most fusion fuels are hydrogen isotopes, which are heated and compressed into a plasma state. This process is very difficult – if the plasma degrades or behaves poorly, fusion won’t be able to occur. One […]

Les impacts environnementaux des traitements biologiques, comme la digestion anaérobie des déchets ménagers, peuvent être réduits par l’ajout d’unités de traitement subséquent. Dans ce sens, la dénitrification de l’effluent liquide de digestion anaérobie est un bon moyen de réduire les émissions gazeuses lors d’épandage ou de traitement conventionnel des eaux. Le traitement permet de récupérer […]

Fourien Inc. is developing a diagnostic medical instrument for rapid and low-cost detection of COVID-19 virus using saliva samples from early-stage infections. The custom-built vibrometer instrument will use micro-sensors to detect the RNA of the virus. There is a need to develop optimized and sensitive modules of optics, electronics and mechanics that are critical for […]

Tamarack is deemed as an underutilized species. Recently York North Veneer Products Inc. (YNVP) received an inquiry on use of Tamarack veneer as sheathing materials in construction of light frame walls in Japanese market with an aim to replace Russian larch and Douglas-fir veneer. To meet this demand, YNVP working with UNB’s Wood Science and […]

Protection from laser light has become increasingly important due to the proliferation of cheaper and more powerful laser systems, especially in regards to interference with aircraft operations. Laser attacks, otherwise known as laser illuminations can be serious safety risks for aircraft operations as it can cause temporary flash blindness or irreversible injuries to the eyes […]

The utility service providers calculate the peak demand charges based on the highest level of power consumption that a facility uses in any interval (usually 15 mins) during the billing cycle. The peak demand charges in facilities such as supermarkets could represent nearly up to 40% of the total utility bill. In supermarkets, besides the […]

Dans ce projet, on propose de développer des applications afin de recycler les sacs plastiques en fin de vie. Pour ce faire, des études seront menées afin de déterminer la composition de tous les sacs disponibles par un centre de tri afin de les transformer, seuls ou avec d’autres matières résiduelles, dans des pièces moulées. […]

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) is increasingly used in research to map the microstructure and composition of the brain non-invasively. In contrast to conventional “weighted” MR imaging, qMRI requires the acquisition of several images with different contrast weightings. The data at each voxel is subsequently fit to a signal equation to extract features of the […]

Accurate, reproducible endoscopic reports that provide standardized data on the nature and location of GI tract lesions are critical to quality improvement in endoscopy, particularly with respect to colonoscopy performed for colorectal cancer screening and surveillance. In addition, accurate, verifiable performance-enhancing feedback is essential for training future endoscopists and for supporting continued skills enhancement for […]

The production of formate salts – one of the most preferable chemicals for de-icing via electrocatalytic CO2 reduction is currently a promising technology. Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential material for the manufacture of electrocatalysts because of not only its great abundance and availability but its conversion inducing graphite-based materials, which are excellent catalyst supports. The […]
