Lower Carbon Fuels Project
This Low Carbon Fuels project involves switching from using natural gas at Lafarge’s Exshawplant to using waste-derived fuels that would otherwise end up in landfills. Technologies for fuel handling, processing, and injection will be installed at the site to replace 50 per cent of its natural gas use. The implementation at Exshaw will be supported…
Digital Optimization using Advanced Process Control in an In-Situ Facility
This project involves the implementation of a digital optimization technology known as Advanced Process Control (APC) at Suncor’s Firebag and MacKay River in situ facilities. The technology combines algorithms with machine learning and data analytics to enhance process control performance. Examples of areas where optimization could be implemented include well-pad steam distribution and steam quality…
VeloxoTherm Carbon Capture
“Carbon dioxide can be captured, and it can be done in many ways,” said Brett Henkel, vice president of Burnaby-based technology firm Inventys. Indeed, industrial processes to extract carbon from gas streams have been around for 50 or 60 years. “It’s just that we developed a more effective way to do it. The system we have…
