Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are groups of contaminants that have received much attention due to their frequent detection in the environment and potential adverse health effect on humans and animals. PFASs can be removed from water using adsorption processes. Adsorbent produced by pyrolysis of sewage sludge (SBAC) offers a promising sustainable solution for removing […]

Biomass wHh little or no commercial value Is often produced as by-products from sawmills and commercial agricultural activity. The use of this biomass for energy generation can offset the need forfosall fuels thereby contributing to reductions In Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. However for biomass to substitute fuels such as natural gas, It needs to […]

This project involves the design and development of a Visual Analytics (VA) tool that will allow analysts to quickly expose relationships and regions of interest in very large data sets that encode complicated graphs and networks. The tool’s development will be guided by frequent interviews with analysts at Aeroinfo/Boeing and the BC Cancer Genome Sciences […]

Combined heat and power generation (CHP) is an efficient method of recovering waste heat of flue gas in internal combustion engines. CHP using natural gas (NG CHP) is actually a NG power generator combined with a waste heat recovery (WHR) system. The by-product heat from the electricity generation is captured by passing the high temperature […]
