Technology Acceleration of Selected Water Treatment Processes

Teck Resources Limited is exploring ways to improve water treatment efficiency as part of its commitment to responsible environmental practices. While various technologies are currently in the piloting stage, there is a need to continue exploring potential treatment options for future implementation. The objective of this project is to generate technical and engineering information that will help determine whether the water treatment technologies developed by the University of Alberta have the potential to move into the engineering/scoping phase by the end of 2013 for possible field implementation. Students will have the opportunity to participate in an applied research environment on projects that could eventually be tested on pilot or commercial scale.
