HATCH, un cabinet d'experts-conseils en ingénierie, est propriétaire d'un brevet lié à une technologie de traitement continu de l'acier qui combine la technique traditionnelle de traitement de l'acier avec une approche novatrice. Nous effectuerons une analyse de régression sur un ensemble de données sur les litiges liés aux brevets afin d'estimer la probabilité de tels […]

In March 2020, the new human coronavirus disease COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. As of May 21, 2020, the World Health Organization has reported over 4.8 million confirmed cases, including over 323,000 deaths worldwide. Only in Canada, the number of confirmed infections and deaths have reached over 80,000 and 6,000, respectively. Apart from the elevated […]

As a major contributor to Canadian industrial carbon emissions, miners are placing more emphasis on decarbonization efforts by developing greener strategies and sourcing cleaner energy for their mining operations. Despite some progress, decarbonization attempts by mining companies have been underwhelming mainly due to the financial challenges of renewable system implementations. This study aims to perceive […]

HATCH, an engineering consulting firm, owns the patent on a continuous steel processing technology that close-couples traditional steel processing with an innovative approach. Regression analysis will be conducted on a patent litigation data set to estimate the probability of patent litigation in the steel industry and forecast potential litigation costs. If the financial economics of […]

The goal of this project is to explore new technology directions in the design and development of Electrical Vehical (EV) charging stations. Each of the interns will study the feasibility and/or viability of new technologies as to their benefits for consumers, owners of fleets, and electrical power utilities. The first intern will review the existing […]

Since energy is the major concern in current and future mining operations, energy efficient technologies are a major focus for research and development. The CAHM machine was developed based on principals of energy efficient particle breakage by compression. The machine design was based on computer simulation and modeling results indicate the potential to reduce comminution […]

This study aims to produce a feasibility report on establishing a district energy system in Toronto, Ontario. The district energy system will be powered by wood chips sourced by a local, privately held forest and transported by rail to the proposed combined heat and power facility. Areas that will be examined in this study include […]

Pyrometallurgical processes have long been used for producing ferronickel alloy. Rotary kiln – Electric furnace (RKEF) is one of the most important technologies for producing ferronickel. The process involves partial reduction of the ore in the rotary kiln with the addition of fuels and reductants. During the process, some impurities present in the fuels and […]
