Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-00700, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Griesbauer, Hardy (College of New Caledonia), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : British Columbia|Colombie-Britannique, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for colleges, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les collèges, program purpose english : The College of New Caledonia and International Quest Engineering Ltd. are partnering to develop a novel_x000D_
application of the zero-energy Ram pump to generate pressurized water and compressed air. This system can be_x000D_
used in water treatment operations for in-site cleaning of the filter membranes. The main benefit is the result of_x000D_
increased productivity by extending the maintenance cycles of the filtration systems. Ram pump requires no_x000D_
external source of energy beyond that supplied by an existing water flow; therefore, an additional benefit of the_x000D_
proposed application will be the decrease in greenhouse gas emissions._x000D_
International Quest Engineering Ltd. will use this proof of concept to design proprietary industrial equipment_x000D_
that can be tested in a production environment and access new markets, especially in the mining sector. This_x000D_
research project leverages the College's rapidly developing strength and capacity in green energy technology._x000D_
Students involved in this project will learn applied research skills related to: (i) water treatment and filtration_x000D_
systems, (ii) technical drafting and design, and (iii) off-grid technology and applications., program purpose french : The College of New Caledonia and International Quest Engineering Ltd. are partnering to develop a novel_x000D_
