Research Lab – Preview
Posted on February 1, 2022 Physical Modeling
Our ongoing commitment to providing rapid turnaround to support our client programs relies on the availability of key equipment, infrastructure and instrumentation distributed between our two laboratories in British Columbia and Alberta.
Our 2020 move to an all-new built-for-purpose facility further strengthens our physical and numerical modeling, data science, and process engineering capabilities.
Some of the key features of our 50,000 sq.ft. Burnaby, BC location include the following apparatus:
- Several fluidized beds
- Spray nozzle testing booth
- Emulsion recirculating flow loop
- Non-Newtonian fluid recirculating flow loop
- 10m recirculating water channel (similar concept to a wind tunnel but uses water instead of air)
- Two Lead-lined bunkers for X-ray imagery
- A mine tailings mixing and evaluation loop
- Numerous gravity separators of varying geometry
- Analytical chemistry laboratory
- Fabrication shop
- An expanded HPC (High Performance Computing) cluster featuring 840 cores
