SOME OF OUR TECHNOLOGY TRANSFERS

Pulp Industry Company

Treatment of an effluent resulting from the storage of recycled timber using a membrane filtration process.

Les Vergers Cataphard

Development of a new product using apple culls: syrup production process. We developed a production process to enable the company to clarify the juice, extract and concentrate sugars and molecules, and use them to make syrup.
With CNETE’s help:
$30 per ton : apple cull
$3 000  per ton : syrup
100x the resale value
10x time increase in turnover

USE YOUR RESIDUE TO PRODUCE ENERGY OR HIGH ADDED VALUE PRODUCTS

Société Laurentide

Treatment and recycling of used antifreeze.
With CNETE’s help, the company was able to recover 90% of its product.

REDUCE YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT AND IMPROVE YOUR CORPORATE IMAGE

Corporation Cameo Labelcorp

Treatment and recycling of a solvent used in printing.
Thanks to CNETE, the company was able to recover 85% to 90% of the solvent following membrane filtration treatment. This allowed for an improved preservation of the integrity of the additives present in the solvent in comparison to the use of a distillation process.

HMH Therafect

Development of an antibiotic (Geldanamycin), used in oncology, and a biopesticide: Development of an efficient and cost-effective pesticide production process.

Optimization of the production of Geldanamycin, separation and concentration of Geldanamycin and of spores by membrane filtration. Development of a fine purification method for Geldanamycin (over 98% purity).

Englobe Corp

Development and validation of a process for the treatment of leachate from saline soil treatment. Development of a membrane filtration process for the treatment and reuse of water in contaminated soil treatment.

Regie de gestion des matieres résiduelles de la Mauricie

Elimination of zinc from leachate waters through membrane filtration for the purpose of conforming to environmental standards.
