L’approvisionnement en biomasse est un aspect crucial de la production de biocarburants de première et éventuellement de seconde génération. La disponibilité de la matière première, pour l’industrie des biocarburants de première génération, est régie par le marché et ainsi le maïs par exemple génère des ventes jusqu’à 2000 $ par hectare de terres pour les […]

The overall project we intend the co-op student to engage in, aside from day-to-day duties assigned, will be twofold. The first to aid in the development of our Capital Schedule Dashboard Project. The goal of this is to improve the processes surrounding our equipment receiving procedure when our machinery products arrive from the factory to […]

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) can 3D print final parts from continuous carbon fiber composites with high structural and thermal performance. In this project, a custom-built 3D printing head with feeding and cutting capabilities will be designed and manufactured. It will be installed on a robotic 3D printer to manufacture parts from high-temperature continuous fiber composites. […]

The project’s partner, MyPalate Inc., produces real meat without raising whole animals and facilitates a new era of protein consumption.. Using a parallel, gas-controlled bioreactor system, the project aims to understand how process parameters influence oxygenation status during muscle cell proliferation and differentiation. Specifically, we aim to investigate how the dissolved oxygen, impeller agitation speed, […]

Amidst various causes of car accidents, those which result due to unseen vehicles or objects play an important role. Automatic Blind spot detection system is, therefore, one of the solutions which can improve the safety feature of a vehicle. Moovee Innovations, Inc., our partner company, is developing a light-weight vehicle designed to travel at urban […]

Cubresa is building the BrainPET, the world’s first commercial brain-dedicated positron emission tomography (PET) insert for a magnetic resonance imager (MRI). The BrainPET will give doctors and scientists a powerful tool to visualize the human brain with near-unparalleled resolution and sensitivity, providing a clear picture of the interconnectedness of structure/function in this complex organ. This […]

Avec la mondialisation des marchés et la forte compétition de l’industrie, les entreprises doivent se démarquer par des produits plus personnalisés tout en maintenant des prix abordables. L’utilisation des concepts de la production de masse personnalisée amène plus de complexité pour l’entreprise étant donné le nombre de pièces de plus en plus élevé. La recherche […]

The project is designed to reduce the carbon intensity of ethylene production in Alberta. Ethylene is an important building block for the chemical industry to produce plastics, consumer goods, solvents, and paints. Ethylene is predominantly produced by steam cracking, releasing up to 2.7 kg CO2 eq./ kg of polyethylene produced. In Alberta, the production of […]

Zero Point Cryogenics (ZPC) is an Edmonton-based company that manufactures cryogenic equipment called dilution refrigerators, which are the platform for quantum computers. Unlike our competitors, we are focused on B2B applications, designing dilution refrigerators for quantum computing industry partners that will satisfy their space, size, and delivery requirements. The production of quantum technologies such as […]

When combining River Oak Imports with The Fort Distillery, many different CRM systems and client management tools were being used. When we combined, we were entering our busy season and they were combined in a temporary way that would work to get us through until the end of 2022. Student will assist in cleaning up […]

Nous proposons d’optimiser un traitement biologique pour offrir l’opportunité aux compagnies minières de bien traiter les eaux de ruissellement qu’elles génèrent et ainsi en minimiser l’impact environnemental. Le partenaire industriel, John Meunier Inc, a mis au point un système fonctionnel de ce traitement biologique à l’échelle laboratoire mais est confronté à certaines difficultés pour l’optimiser […]

Across Canada, electricity is becoming a scarce resource as there are increasingly urgent calls to electrify fossil fuel loads. Furthermore, even if ample generation is present, the electrical grid will be unable to accommodate the increased demand. This research project will propose and investigate tangible solutions to optimize the power flow and usage within the […]
