Treatment wetlands have emerged as a potential treatment option for oil sands process-affected waters (OSPW) produced from bitumen extraction by the oil sands industry. Of particular interest is the removal of naphthenic acids (NAs), which are widely acknowledged as the primary constituents of toxicity in OSPW. Studies have demonstrated the capacity for NA removal in […]

The terminal objective of this cluster project is to achieve high performance machining of difficult-to-cut materials, in terms of reduced production cost, increased productivity, as well as achieving pre-defined part quality attributes and maximizing the utilization of the machine tool. To achieve this goal, an intelligent unmanned machining system need to be developed. The following […]

The goal of the proposed research project is to develop a robust and useful analysis of the effects of climate change on the hydrology of the Churchill River watershed in Labrador. The partner organization, Nalcor Energy, is planning a multi-billion dollar hydroelectric development on the Churchill River and has a strong interest in the impact […]

Alberta’s oil sands are one of the world’s largest known hydrocarbon deposits. Currently, Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is the commercial recovery method of choice. This requires large amounts of steam to be injected into the oil sands reservoirs, resulting in steam loss to the overburden. Companies continue to expand operations with new pad development. […]

Ce projet a pour but d’étudier les impacts des changements climatiques sur les modèles de conception des liaisons hertziennes basés sur les recommandations de l’ITU (International Telecommunication Union). Ces paramètres comme la pluie, le gradient de réfractivité de l’atmosphère et la température sont sujets à des variations saisonnières. De plus, dans le contexte des changements […]

The goal of the Dissolvable Glass Technology research project is to develop new glass technologies and products to reduce the cost and environmental impact in the utility, forestry, and oil and gas sectors. It has been said that we are ‘entering the age of glass’, and we aim to explore the numerous and varied possibilities […]
