NTWIST currently has a few AI based products that can help industrial clients to enhance process stability, profitability, and trouble shooting capabilities. It has also designed tools that can carry out scenario analysis & act as a training tool for operators, technical staff, and management. NTWIST is looking to market the existing products to new […]

The proposed research project will study processes which took place during formation of the copper-silver-gold deposit in the southern part of the Marshall Lake property, western Ontario. The study will focus on deciphering primary and metamorphic mineral assemblages and conditions of their origin. Studying mineral textures and their chemical and isotopic compositions will allow characterization […]

To make mining more efficient and environmentally friendly, transportation of rock should be minimized. Ideally we would only transport those rocks that contain economically extractable amounts of minerals. MineSense has developed sensors that can detect the level of minerals in rocks and, in particular, can detect very low levels with high accuracy. This proposal is […]

The Master in Northern Governance and Development (MNGD) is a project-based, interdisciplinary program meant to build capacity among northerners in northern Saskatchewan through a blended delivery model including face-to-face, videoconferencing, online and international field school instruction. The 2012-2013 internship research project will contribute to the MNGD graduate students’ research through the examination of community-based responses […]

Powder Metallurgy (PM) and Metal Additive Manufacturing (Metal AM) are sets of processes to produce net-shape or near-net-shape metal parts from metal powders, and so they offer material and energy saving. These processes, however, require powders of strict specifications like particle size distribution and shape. Water Atomization (WA) of a molten metal is a cost-effective […]

I will analyze the position of ESD relative to the oil and gas industry to gain insight on how best to approach the reconfiguring of the business. I will assess how ESD’s customers are handling the COVID-19 crisis in order to suit business operations to the new climate. After figuring out how to best continue […]

There is a growing demand when it comes to the repairing of the coke drum since most of the current in-use coke drums has been in service for decades. This study will develop a new methodology to assess the microstructure evolution and thermal mechanical properties of service-exposed coke drums. The focus of experiments of this […]

The proposed research project will develop quantitative gas migration testing techniques and regulatory thresholds that address the complex nature of the multiple interacting variables that can confuse gas migration investigations. The study will focus on the development of in-situ field measurement technologies and instrumentation to characterize the variables that impact soil gas and isotope signatures […]

Ce projet a pour but d’augmenter la durée de vie utile des épaississeurs présents dans les diverses usines de RIO TINTO ALCAN. Ces épaississeurs, d’une dimension comparable à celle d’un édifice de 6 étages, possèdent un râteau interne qui permet de compacter et de transporter radialement la boue jusqu’au puits de décharge. Avec le temps, […]

The proposed research project will provide SRK a reliable tool to estimate the level of displacements developing in a clayey deposit when subjected to cyclic loading of variable amplitudes, such as earthquake loading conditions. Specifically, this tool is represented by a model which can be used during seismic analysis of geotechnical structures. The model will […]

We are pivoting business activities because of the uncertainty covid has caused regarding international travel. Therefore we are changing the location of the pilot and so new economics and probabilities must be performed for the new project. The internship will assist our company is making sure that we have strong economics and financial forecast for […]

Treatment wetlands have emerged as a potential treatment option for oil sands process-affected waters (OSPW) produced from bitumen extraction by the oil sands industry. Of particular interest is the removal of naphthenic acids (NAs), which are widely acknowledged as the primary constituents of toxicity in OSPW. Studies have demonstrated the capacity for NA removal in […]
