This Mitacs project focuses on evaluating the potential of adapting the novel Hydrothermal Carbonization technology as a suitable waste-to-energy (WtE) technology for various regions. A review of relevant literature has revealed that there is little to no research or comparative study conducted to identify the optimal conditions for energy recovery using the new Hydrothermal Carbonization […]

This study seeks to conduct a comprehensive analysis to investigate the optimum process parameters for generating green hydrogen from waste materials (cocoa pod husk, rice husk, coconut husk, sawdust, etc.) and to assess the economic viability of the process. The use of the selected biomass as feedstock would provide a clearer scientific understanding of green […]

This projects aims to evaluate the corrosion rate of carbon steel in a 2:2 molar ratio (4M total molar concentration) of AMP: 1-(2-HE) PRLD environment as a function of absorber/desorber temperature, O2 concentration in the flue gas, and CO2 loading. This evaluation is to ensure that this novel amine blend can be used reliably with […]

Ce projet se concentre sur la production et la caractérisation du biochar, un matériau carboné aux multiples applications prometteuses, obtenu par pyrolyse de la biomasse dans un environnement pauvre en oxygène. L’objectif principal est de soutenir le développement et l’installation de deux modèles de pyrolyseurs à petite échelle dans des communautés cries, contribuant ainsi à […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

The proposal introduces a cutting-edge, real-time solution for detecting and mitigating harmful algal blooms (HABs) using advanced computer vision and AI models integrated with autonomous systems. By leveraging state-of-the-art AI-powered imaging technology, this solution delivers precise species identification and real-time monitoring capabilities that drastically improve response times. Unlike traditional manual sampling methods, this system utilizes […]

Recently, there has been a massive transition from internal combustion engine-based boats to electric boats that do not depend on fossil fuels. However, there are some factors hindering the fast pace of this transition. These factors include the bulky charging system, the unavailability of reliable power sources, and the increased operational cost of electric boats. […]

Dual Axis Solar Tracking System for Marine Environments is a project that aims to integrate a solar tracking technology onboard a marine vessel. By integrating 2 different tracking methods in one system for improving the efficiency of tracking, further leading to improvement in energy production, this project aims to make this technology economically and technically […]

The University of New Brunswick (UNB – Canada) welcomes a student intern from King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT – Thailand) to investigate chemical technologies for recycling waste plastics. The recycling of post-consumer non-compostable materials (e.g., polyester) have been identified as the next frontier to decrease solid waste. Around the world, societies struggle with […]

Il s’agit d’étudier les effets des ultrasons sur la production d’hydrogène en milieu liquide alcalin. Le projet se déroule dans un laboratoire français, à l’UTINAM, Besançon, sous la supervision de Prof. Jean-Yves HIHN, expert dans la réactivité de surface et sonochimie en traitement de surface. Description : Le stage consistera à apprendre à concevoir des […]
