Big News
Our Impact
CRWN.AI uses AI to Detect and Identify Faulty and Degraded Transmission Lines
CRWN.ai places smart sensors on poles to record electrical discharge continuously, and uses ML and AI to analyze data findings and identify infrastructure that may need repair or replacement. CRWN.ai can identify issues like arcing, tracking and Corona. CRWN.ai provides utilities with a line of sight into the actual state of transmission line infrastructure with data instead of a best guess.
Recycling Fracking Water with Innovative Ultra-Filtration Technology
Aqua Pure Technologies, in partnership with Artis Exploration, will test its innovative PROH2O® ultra-filtration technology to improve water recycling in the oil and gas industry. This technology is expected to remove 99.9 per cent of contaminants from water, making it possible to recycle “produced” and “flow back” water from fracking operations. Funding will also support a self-cleaning system to help make oil and gas operations more efficient, helping companies find ways to reduce costs and improve productivity. The project will be demonstrated in Three Hills.
