The discipline of Vibrometery is wide and has many applications, vibrations are present in any mechanical system that involves moving components. So far, the main method to measure these vibrations has been the traditional accelerometer sensor, although it has its limitations and challenges. Laser Doppler Vibrometers (LDV) were developed in order to address some of […]

Global population growth, urbanization and changing climate patterns have increased the demand for potable water, wastewater reuse and value recovery from wastewater, and treatment of industrial process water. Population growth also results in increased demand for the shipping of goods by ocean freight, with the associated risk of the transport of unwanted marine life from […]

Surface waters typically have high levels of natural organic matter. The reaction of this organics with chlorine, which is generally used for disinfection, results in the formation of carcinogenic chlorine disinfection by-products (DBPs). Water treatment plants are obliged to come up with appropriate solutions to meet the set guidelines on maximum acceptable levels for these […]

In order to move towards a sustainable future, it is essential to develop environmentally friendly fuels for energy production. Hydrogen and ammonia are promising candidates for clean fuels as they do not harm the environment when utilized as fuels. Ammonia is one of the leading chemicals produced throughout the world. However, the hydrogen gas required […]

La principale méthode d’entretien des réseaux de distribution d’eau potable (RDEP) est le rinçage unidirectionnel (RUD), qui permet l’élimination des particules sédimentées et la prévention de l’occurrence d’évènements de coloration de l’eau. Nordikeau travaille depuis trois ans au développement et à l’optimisation d’une alternative au RUD : le rinçage avec injection d’air. Cette méthode permet […]

ERCO Worldwide, A division of Superior Plus LP, Saskatoon facility (“ERCO Worldwide-Saskatoon”) is a manufacturer of caustic soda, chlorine, hydrochloric acid and sodium chlorate. This facility has four fully developed underground brine wells. The brine solution as produced from the brine wells contains 26% sodium chloride in it. This saturated brine is purified and supplied […]

The purpose of this study is to investigate the interactions and effects of automated and electric mining equipment on mine processes, identify necessary modifications to optimize mine design and account for the cost and environmental drivers in the comparison. Ultimately determining the justification for an economic decision to operate automated and electric-powered machinery on mine […]

Recreational vehicles operating off the grid rely on battery power to maintain climate control and, by doing so, the occupants’ comfort. Extended battery usage in these vehicle can be achieved by optimizing the thermal-fluid design of the interior space through the judicious selection of insulation material, properly sized HVAC systems, window glazing, and even external […]

This study will develop a business model for long-line flax production in Saskatchewan. The business model under investigation will necessarily rely on European technology. A scutching facility in Saskatchewan would probably consist of an imported scutching line from Van Dommele Engineering in Belgium, or equivalent. Seeding and harvesting equipment, such as Noudet Gougis seeders and […]

L’objectif de ce projet de recherche est de déterminer la meilleure manière d’informer et de guider les utilisateurs d’un nouveau logiciel de modélisation numérique de l’humain face aux solutions ergonomiques que ce logiciel propose pour qu’ils comprennent ces solutions, se sentent en confiance vis-à-vis de celles-ci et décident de les appliquer plutôt de décider de […]

L’enfouissement de matière organique mène à la production de méthane, un gaz à effet de serre bien plus puissant que le CO2. Pour pallier à cette problématique, le gouvernement québécois a ordonné le bannissement de la matière organique de tous les sites d’enfouissement dès 2020. C’est pourquoi plusieurs entreprises qui oeuvrent dans le secteur agroalimentaire […]

Le projet de recherche se propose de définir et de mettre en place les bases d’une architecture IoT basée sur la technologie LoRa et LoRaWan, qui sera utilisée pour la collecte et l’exploitation des données de diverses applications de la Ville intelligente, tout en garantissant la couverture du territoire, la sécurisation des données, et la […]
