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 […]

Acid mine drainage (AMO) is a significant environmental concern at many hard rock mines. Laboratory-based predictive tests are used to determine if AMO will be generated by mine wastes, but these tests do not generally examine the role of microbes in acid-generating processes. This study will extend the capabilities of the advanced customizable leaching columns […]

This project will study the effects of CO2 sequestration in mine waste tailings using a robotic mixing system. Mine waste tailings represent a large opportunity for carbon storage, assisting mining companies with goals to improve their carbon footprint. Robotic mixing of the surface of tailings is expected to accelerate carbon storage and mixing and measurement […]

The project aims at developing prototype of a new ultrasonic based device to monitor and maintain oil-water interface position and oil layer height. Need for such a device has been identified for applications in oil-water separators commonly used in a number of processes. The ability to monitor interface position as well as liquid-layer thickness is […]

Le projet consiste à développer un système et une application web qui permettra aux aménagistes forestiers urbains de choisir la meilleure espèce d’arbre à planter à différents endroits de la ville afin de maximiser les retombées économiques et sociales et la résilience du couvert arboré face aux changements globaux. Nous développerons un système qui regroupera […]

The supply chain structure of an engine assembly line consists of several complex flows and processes to satisfy the requirements for on time delivery of these products. The difficulty in managing such systems is due to the fact that more than 1000 parts should be available on time in a synchronized manner to start the […]

Scientists have been interested in the effects that microorganisms have on their host plants for over a century, however, recently researchers have been able to better tackle these questions with the advent of new technology. In particular, beneficial microorganisms associated with roots can increase crop resiliency against disease, pests and extreme weather events, making this […]

Grasslands cover approximately one third of the Earth’s surface but are among the most threatened and least protected habitats. Livestock grazing is one management strategy to restore degraded grassland ecosystems, but little is known about the effect of grazing on grassland reptiles and amphibians (herpetofauna). World-wide, herpetofauna are in decline and may be particularly susceptible […]
