The overall project goal is the adoption of ensiling and aerobic bioreactor system used within recirculating aquaculture systems, a developing industry within aquaculture. RAS, produce waste streams incorporating various fish wastes. Some RAS operations integrate fish processing facilities onsite, further increasing waste products. Currently waste products form these systems are disposed of through outside contractors […]

Common methods of surveying in very shallow water (

Organic contaminants enter the marine environment through atmospheric transport, runoff into waterways, or directed disposal into the ocean. They are prone to long-range, bioaccumulation and can have adverse effects on human health and the environment. In this project, a simple and convenient extraction device developed for analysis of organic pollutants will be examined for various […]

The purpose of this project is to take existing state-of-art machine learning techniques and implement them for ice classification in polar seas. Ice classification plays a critical role in any icebreaker voyage. An ice specialist onboard the icebreaker is required to classify all ice environments encountered. This process is tedious and time consuming. This project […]

The Canadian government has vowed to reduce their pollutant emissions by 2030 in order to curb the effects of climate change. This means that shipping companies must make strides to reduce their overall emissions. This project will use novel sponge-like frameworks, called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), to remove environmentally toxic pollutants from exhaust gas. The materials […]

This project provides a software solution for detecting, classifying, and tracking moving sound sources underwater from the generated sounds. Generally, monitoring shipping traffic largely rely on the automatic identification systems (AIS) installed on the vessels. The ability to track these vessels is at the mercy of the functionality of the transponders onboard the vessels and […]

Les sols en milieu urbain sont bien souvent oubliés. Pourtant, ils remplissent un grand nombre de services écologiques à la population : ils contribuent à supporter une biodiversité aérienne et souterraine abondante, à recycler les éléments nutritifs et à filtrer l’eau, ainsi qu’à réduire les îlots de chaleur et lutter contre les émissions de gaz […]

The project is dedicated to the investigation and testing of environment-friendly, energy-efficient freezing technology for the remediation of mine-impacted water. This technology could be beneficial and economically feasible for the regions with cold weather conditions and vulnerable to anthropogenic impact. The primary research objectives of current project are to continue and advance laboratory experiments started […]

Pultrall produces FRP bars for several applications in the construction industry. Although the advantage of using advanced materials in civil engineering is outstanding, the company needs more information regarding the performance of its product in fire. Material tests will be conducted on FRP bars at high temperature and full-scale fire tests on FRP reinforced concrete […]

Given that CDL-Recovery exists to bring success to ventures committed to dealing with the impact of Covid-19 on Canada, I need to support ventures as requested. Daily job may include market analysis, customer development, financial analysis, and other core activities related to building early stage start-ups as designated by CDL-Recovery mentors and allocated by the […]

Avec les changements climatiques, il est attendu que les pluies seront plus abondantes (Alliance des ruelles bleues-vertes, 2018), ce qui risquerait d’engorger les systèmes municipaux de gestion de l’eau, qui subissent déjà une pression dans les centres urbains (Bruebach, 2019), notamment à Montréal. Or, ce projet s’intéresse au concept de ruelle bleue-verte comme infrastructure pour […]

Hydrocarbon production methods extract mass from the subsurface and consequently change the density distribution. Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) uses steam to enhance the heavy oil in the subsurface which mobilizes it and allows it to be pumped to the surface. Today, we do not know very accurately, where oil is produced and where steam […]
