Harrow Tines: Fatigue Prediction & Real-Time Crack Detection

The agriculture sector of the Canadian prairies including the province of Saskatchewan is one of the major contributors to the Canadian economy. Farmers are the main driver of this sector, who often face delays in their harrowing process due to unexpected breakage of the harrow tines that they use. In this project, the team will […]

Development and commercialization of an enhanced biochar production technology

The goal of this MITACS funded project is to advance existing technology for the production of biochar from sustainably harvested woody biomass. Current technology limits the amount of biochar produced from the raw wood. This project will evaluate the increase in production of biochar by some 30%. Biochar is a very resistant form of carbon […]

Development of self-powered portable devices for simultaneous water disinfection and pollutant removal through piezophotocatalysis

The Government of Canada is committed to addressing drinking-water-related health and safety needs. However, the vast territory of Canada and the disparate locations of communities makes it a huge challenge to set up water treatment infrastructure and provide necessary training and maintenance. This project aims to develop selfpowered portable devices for simultaneous water disinfection and […]

Hydrothermal Liquefaction of High-Moisture Pulp and Paper Milling Residues for Renewable Biocrude Production

Canada’s $9.6B pulp industry produces an ample supply of unusable organic pulp mill residues, yet there has been relatively limited utilization of this feedstock for the production of bio-crude through hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) – a low-temperature, high-pressure thermolytic conversion process. The proposed research project will investigate HTL catalysts that produce abundant, high-quality, and low-cost bio-crude […]

Integrated Simulation and Optimization of Steam Chamber Growth and Propagation Dynamics during Hybrid Solvent-Enhanced SAGD Processes with Large-Scale Physical Experiments

A series of pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) tests and large-scale physical experiments of the hybrid solvent-enhanced SAGD process will be carried out and simulated to better understand the process physics and bitumen recovery mechanisms, which will help Imperial make reliable predictions with the upscaling potential for quickly commercial field applications. This project will be conducted both in […]
