Water

The remediation and protection of industrial water resources relies on an understanding of phase separation at a deep mechanistic level. BC Research undertakes fundamental research through a number of collaborative initiatives and supported programmes with universities.

Multi-year research initiatives have made us a leading proponent in areas such as:
‣

Rapid-response solutions to oil spills in marine environments in the formulation of a family of novel ‘herders’ and ‘gellants.’

‣

The removal of microplastics from domestic and industrial effluents.

‣

Phase separation in oil-sand tailings.

Other Areas

Other areas of industrial water use are addressed with proprietary technologies in:

‣

Switchable solvents to replace toxic or environmentally deleterious solvents.

‣

Hydrothermal processing technologies to crack incalcitrant compounds.

‣

Innovative hydrocyclones for phase separation.

‣

Chemical modification of functional species used in heavy metal sequestration.
