Investigate the long-term corrosion under insulation and moisture retention behaviors of various thermal insulations with and without moisture removal systems for pipelines and process equipment

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) a prominent material damage mechanisms in the process industries and pipelines which has reportedly caused countless failure events. Absorbed moisture in thermal insulation is the key reason behind CUI which also causes heat dissipation thereby posing the increased carbon footprint and reduced thermal efficiencies. The soaked thermal insulations have always been […]

Investigating the Recovery and Recolonization of Striped Bass Morone saxatilis and Atlantic Sturgeon Oxyrinchus oxyrinchus to Annapolis River, Nova Scotia, following decommissioning of Canada’s only tidal power generating station

A collaboration with Acadia University, DFO and CARP proposes two interns assess the recolonization of COSEWIC listed Striped Bass and Atlantic Sturgeon to the Annapolis River Estuary. Research will focus on critical knowledge gaps regarding the habitat occupancy and migration of both species and train interns on current fisheries techniques. The goal is to monitor […]

Investigate of implications of atmospheric corrosion on various flanged configurations for pipelines and process equipment

Atmospheric corrosion, commonly known as weathering is among the leading causes of infrastructure degradation. The extent of atmospheric corrosion becomes more concerning when it triggers localized and non-linear metal loss rates. One such scenario is the localized corrosion at the flanged connections in piping, pipeline, and equipment for hydrocarbon industry and even utility sectors. As […]

Development of Water Quality Assessment Approach for Hazard Identification and Communication in First Nations Community Water Systems

The state of drinking water systems and services in First Nation communities is a recognized challenge in Canada. While municipal water systems are regulated by provinces, there is no such parallel regulator for First Nation communities. For First Nations, there are multiple federal agencies that intersect with community decision-making through fragmented processes and guidelines which […]

Understanding the role of critical energy technologies in Atlantic Canada’s transition to net-zero emissions

The path to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 in Atlantic Canada is both time- and resource-constrained. Energy system models can be used in this context to compare climate change mitigation options and to strategically plan for meeting climate change goals through cost-effective and timely means. Motivated by these circumstances, Net Zero Atlantic is building an […]
