Past Projects

Microalgae

In-house researcher and inventor Dr. Weixing Tan and his team spent over a decade researching the most efficient way to mass-produce microalgae. Their research led them to build what is currently the world’s most efficient photobioreactor (PBR), a microalgae mass cultivation device.

Effluent and Bio-solids Conversion into Wood Fibre (2009-2019)

Our researchers investigated options for innovative, low-cost and environmentally friendly alternatives for waste treatment.

Reclamation of Oilsands Wetlands by Winter Planting (2011-2015)

Our researchers have determined that planting trees in the winter when the wetland sites are accessible may be the best option to reclaim boreal wetlands disturbed by oil sands operation in Alberta.
