The United States Coast Guard (USCG) recently introduced stringent regulations for the treatment of ballast water. Ultra-violet (UV) light is a useful technology in a ballast water treatment system (BWTS), for inactivating phytoplankton which could be invasive and harmful to humans and the environment. UV damages DNA and prevents replication, but the vital stain methods […]

Single-use plastic bans and EPR laws are forcing CPG brands to transition from petroleum plastics to sustainable materials, a process that is complex, lengthy and expensive. Materia is addressing this challenge with an AI/ML-driven materials informatics platform with an integrated marketplace, empowering companies to develop and launch eco-friendly products 65% faster and cheaper. This project […]

Temperature control is very important to a modern day society. Certain beverages, such as soda pop, alcoholic beverages, and even water are refrigerated so that they are more refreshing to drink. This project objective is to design novel environmentally benign and emission-free self-cooling beverage cans. Two different systems with different cooling approached are considered. The […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à développer un nouveau procédé pour éliminer le fer et le manganèse des eaux souterraines destinées à la consommation humaine. Pour y arriver, nous testerons l’utilisation de filtres avec deux couches de matériaux réactifs activés biologiquement qui permettent de prolonger les durées de cycle et d’éliminer dans un seul filtre […]

The project will develop a revolutionary, conformable hydrogen storage tank solution for fuel cell electric vehicles. The specific objective of this research collaboration is to develop a hydrogen storage medium that is stable at ambient conditions, has a high gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity and can be packed into a fuel tank for use in vehicles. […]

Sulphur dioxide is an important atmospheric pollutant that can negatively impact the surrounding environment through the processes of wet and dry deposition. Although wet deposition can be measured directly in the field, dry deposition must be estimated from air concentrations and modelled dry deposition velocity. The versatile “big-leaf” deposition model is frequently used to estimate […]

The research aims to develop new technology for production of nutritional berry powders with lower production cost and higher quality. The project will test the properties of the raw material and formulate new method for processing the sample for simpler and cost effective production process. With the outcome of this project, the partner organization will […]

Nova Robotics is designing a number of repair and service robots for the OSB (oriented strand board) industry. These robots are designed to operate in very high temperature environments and effect repairs to large industrial equipment. These robots are designed to weld, grind and drill in order to correct problems with steel press surfaces. We […]

Ergo Eco Solutions Inc. is pioneering a sustainable transformation in the petrochemical market through its innovative use of upcycled food waste. The global dependency on finite, polluting hydrocarbons has created an urgent need for clean, renewable alternatives. Ergo addresses this challenge by developing and producing eco-friendly Oil-ternative™ products derived from Waste Cooking Oil (WCO). This […]

L’usine du groupe Canam située à Sherbrooke est équipée de plusieurs perceuses magnétiques et statiques qui sont utilisées pour le perçage de pièces en acier. Ces outils doivent être opérés de manière optimale afin de limiter les bris d’équipement qui entraînent des coûts et du temps de maintenance supplémentaires. Notamment, la vitesse de rotation, la […]

L’intérêt pour les jumeaux numériques dans les secteurs de la fabrication et de l’automatisation est en hausse, notamment pour répondre à des besoins spécifiques tels que la mise en service virtuelle, qui intervient avant la matérialisation effective de la machine. Cette étude propose d’effectuer la modélisation du mécanisme « ferme-sac » de la machine VP-415 […]
