REDUCT & Lobbe has more than 15 years of
experience in development and implementation of energy technologies (coal, oil, gas, biomass, etc.), and Environmental Decision Support Systems (EDSS's).
REDUCT's Environmental Decision Support Systems (EDSS's) are based on advanced information technologies and provide support for environmental mangement and protection. Some examples of projects and systems are shown below.
Comprehensive reference document outlining strategies for the future use of fossil fuels in Saskatchewan relating to the production and use of energy in Saskatchewan and alternate courses of action that Saskatchewan might take to address concerns about greenhouse gases. GREENCALC is an Environmental Decision Support System for development of alternative strategies for greenhouse gases abatement and for estimating Saskatchewan greenhouse gases emissions.
Comprehensive workshop on environmental assessment and pollution control as they relate to the construction and operation of thermal power plants.
Techno-economic evaluation of sorbent injection technology including development of an EDSS for modeling of the boiler sulfur emission reduction.
4.
Development of EPRI/ARC Clean Coal and Clean
Soil Review, analysis and preparation of ARC final reports summarizing a three year experimental program on using ARC agglomeration technology. Work included interpretation of laboratory results, analysis of process development work, development of process design sheets and equipment specifications, and an order of magnitude process costing. Three process studies were completed (Aglotherm, Aglofloat, and Soil Cleanup).
5. Modeling Methane Flow into Underground Longwall Coal Mines Detailed study of five computer models including their feasibility of application of EDSS's at Canadian mines. Work included analysis of assumptions, governing equations, numerical techniques and computer algorithms used in the models, and limitations of the models.
Comprehensive
workshop on all aspects of control of sulphur dioxide emissions from coal fired plants
including the latest technologies demonstrated in North America.
Introduction of intelligent EDSS's systems for improvement of productivity, product quality and energy efficiency to heavy industry sectors such as pulp and paper, cement, iron and steel, oil and gas and mining and metallurgy.
Development of a
framework for the assessment of research projects in the area of natural gas conversion to
identify opportunities, constraints and critical factors, and to define possible criteria
for evaluating various technology options.
Comprehensive assessment of the potential for the development of upgraded lignite using new coal upgrading processes within identified market constraints. The study included analysis of lignite resources and potential markets, detailed evaluation of coal upgrading processes, development of process flow diagrams, analysis of process data, heat and material balances, sizing and costing of major pieces of process equipment, and economic evaluation of each process.
Draft document in preparation of
Saskatchewan’s response to a number of national and international initiatives
impacting the province’s environment and economy.
Critical review of the hardware-software
and human-machine integration issues for implementing intelligent systems and
identification of barriers and their remedies for the development and application of
intelligent systems in Canadian heavy industry.
Optimization study of CANMET Co-processing
including development of computer simulator, support graphics programs and user manuals. The performed optimization studies resulted in a
number of recommendations for future co-processing R&D on phase equilibrium for feed
and product components, co-processing of bituminous coals, modeling coke formation and
hydrogen consumption, etc.
Quality assurance review of the design of an oil agglomeration plant including plant conceptual design, the selection of major equipment, detailed engineering and shop drawings, and casting. The work order also included a critical review of the flowsheets and the PEID, with emphasis on materials handling, control approach to process flows, verification of the design for equipment, and costing of selected equipment.
Identification and implementation of suitable advanced PI based methods for improved diagnosis and optimization of heavy oil production in Saskatchewan and Alberta.
