Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are land based fish farms that recycle the water from the fish tanks using multiple water treatment processes. Fish produce large amounts of carbon dioxide, through respiration, that needs to be removed during the water treatment process since high levels of carbon dioxide are hazardous to fish. Currently the most common […]

Rapid growth of renewable energy generation and DC loads as electric vehicles and consumer electronics results in the proliferation of DC microgrids. DC microgrids are small electrical grids where energy sources and loads are connected to a main energy distribution power line using power converters. A particular example of the use of DC microgrids can […]

Afin d’améliorer son impact environnemental, nos partenaires souhaite remplacer une partie de ces produits d’origines pétrolières par un matériel innovant issus du produit de la recherche de l’UQTR. Ce produit, la bio-huile pyrolytique, est obtenue par pyrolyse de résidus forestiers de la forêt de La tuque. C’est-à-dire par combustion en absence d’oxygène. Le produit formé […]

The Project contributes to the development of a field-ready and commercially useful long-range cargo unmanned aerial vehicle, including analyses of flight envelope and performance characteristics.

This project seeks to understand how a next-generation nuclear reactor, a molten salt reactor, behaves under various conditions. Particular attention is paid to aspects of the reactor’s performance that could have an impact on its safe operation. This research focuses on how the various properties of the reactor evolve in time after a change to […]

I-joists are composite timber beams mainly used in roof and flooring systems. They consist of oriented strand board (OSB) webs and timber flanges. For post-construction purposes, these beams are often drilled in the web or notched through the flange in order to pass the electrical/mechanical facilities through the openings. This can result in a significantly […]

The use of garbage trucks with “robot arms” for municipal waste collection is becoming more and more common in Ontario and across North America. However, these “robots” have very little capability. In our collaboration with Waterloo Controls, we are working to automate the process of garbage collection. Rather than requiring the operator to acquire the […]

Foamed concrete is a low-density product, created by blending a cement paste with a foaming agent. The foam is stable during the set-up of the concrete, resulting in fine, evenly distributed voids within the concrete matrix. In addition to its low density, properties of foam concrete include pumpability as a fresh concrete mix; and sound […]

Depuis 2011, une plateforme SAL (Synthetic Aperture Ladar) a été développée et testée en laboratoire à l’Institut National d’Optique (INO). L’INO souhaite maintenant évaluer la possibilité d’utiliser un tel système d’acquisition pour des applications réelles de cartographie urbaine, notamment de modélisation 3D intérieure. Actuellement, les balayeurs laser (i.e. LiDAR) sont couramment exploités pour réaliser de […]
