Did you know that Coanda offers a full suite of An $Did you know that Coanda offers a full suite of Analytical Chemistry and sample testing services? Analytical chemistry measurements and techniques provide quantitative results and answers to complex questions. Our Burnaby and Edmonton locations host a wide range of advanced measurement and analytical chemistry instrumentation and techniques in our versatile climate controlled spaces. Our Analytical Laboratories operate as a stand-alone service, with fee-per-sample pricing structures available; as well is integral to our Physical modeling and Client Research programs. Our experienced team frequently develops non-standard analytical methods to tackle difficult industrial issues; from sample handling through to analysis, Coanda’s Analytical Laboratory Team leverages the flexibility of research investigation to support routine analysis techniques in finding the right solution to our clients’ questions. Coanda’s analytical capabilities include a suite of industry-standard analyses. These techniques provide results to clients in mining and tailings-related sectors and can readily be adapted to handle sample types and matrices found in a wide range of other industries. -Detailed Hydrocarbon Analysis by GC-FID/Mass Spectrometry -Naphtha Diluent Solvent Content in Tailings by GC-FID -Pentane Diluent Solvent Content in Tailings by GC-FID -Clay Content by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) -Clay Content by Methylene Blue Titration -Solids – Bitumen – Water (SBW) content by Solvent Reflux -Vapour-Liquid Equilibrium -Water Content by Karl Fischer -Permanent gasses and C1-C5 by microGC -Sulphide content by UVVis Find out more about our offerings and equipment: https://coanda.ca/about/facilities-a-lab/ #sampletesting #Analyticalchemistry #research #analyticalmethods #testing #analysis$

Coanda researchers Dr. Amarebh Sorta & Benito Moyl $Coanda researchers Dr. Amarebh Sorta & Benito Moyls will be presenting at the upcoming 78th Canadian Geotechnical Conference, GeoManitoba 2025; hosted by The Canadian Geotechnical Society in collaboration with the Canadian Permafrost Association. The conference will be held at the RBC Convention Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada from Sunday, September 21 to Wednesday, September 24, 2025. Their paper, titled "Time Scaling Law for Two-stage Centrifuge Testing" presents time-scaling laws for calculating prototype times in two-stage centrifuge testing, and it also provides centrifuge testing and numerical modelling results for validating the scaling law. Introduction: Coanda and Suncor developed a small-scale beam centrifuge, called the PASS centrifuge, to address traditional beam centrifuges' cost and availability limitations for industrial use (Sorta et al., 2024). This innovation enables the routine application of beam centrifuges in industrial settings and evaluates the consolidation of numerous samples in a short time at a fraction of the cost of traditional beam centrifuge tests. It also aids the monitoring and assessment of commercial tailings operations. This paper continues to address the limitations of beam centrifuges by presenting a test method designed to mitigate segregation issues during centrifuge tests. It outlines techniques for reducing segregation and introduces time-scaling laws to interpret centrifuge model results in terms of real-world prototypes, filling a gap in the existing literature which lacks theoretical derivations or experimental investigations into scaling laws for self-weight consolidation in two-stage centrifuge testing. A non-dimensional consolidation time factor is employed to derive the time-scaling laws, which are subsequently validated through centrifuge testing and large-strain consolidation modelling. #geotechnical #centrifuge #research #conference #scientist #innovation$
