IION-Canadore - Skills Training in Advanced Manufacturing and Production (icSTAMP) is a 25-week (June 18th - December 7th 2018) paid placement which combines practical experience and soft skills training through educational and experiential learning in an applied research and development environment. paid work placement, College Certificate (advanced level courses), Lab Work at ICAMP to complete a R&D and 6 professional development days where companies and engineering/technologists graduates of any age both apply either as a pre-made match or to be matched.

The Triple-P program is designed to spur economic development by offsetting the cost of purchasing equipment or technology related to the innovative commercial product, process or service of the company in three categories:

• Productivity
• Prototype
• Process improvements

The project involves the development of a novel hybrid filtration process for the treatment of process and discharge water streams generated from in-situ processing of oil sands at high temperatures. The purpose of this system is to de-oil and treat oil sands produced water streams at high temperature (90C) and produce clean water suitable for reuse, recycle or disposal.

Benchmarking has been used in several sectors to identify best practices on different matters such as customer satisfaction levels, costs, or energy efficiency. Although tools have been developed to benchmark energy in certain industrial sectors, none are available to comprehensively assess energy performance for mines. The goal for this project is to develop such a tool in collaboration with stakeholders from the mining industry and MiTRAQ, a benchmarking software developer.

The objective of this project is to develop processes that will enable the Canadian mining industry to manage water resources more effectively by maximizing water recovery and recycling and increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of water treatment discharge and management.  The project supports the Clean Innovation Engagement Strategy and the Water Management priority of the CanmetMINING 5-year research plan. 

The project objective is to determine the application of high-performance synthetic fibre cables in mining, including rejection criteria and non-destructive testing methods for the cables during their service life. The project phases are:

1. proof of concept, with a focus on windability under load;
2. optimization at high speed and under load of the lifespan and integrity of the cables;
3. testing in an operating mine.
