Development, Demonstration and Scale Up of Plasmergy$283Kvalue2026start2027end

This project will see further development & testing of the Plasmergy system and will start the scale-up design for the indiscriminate conversion of clinical waste and other targeted feedstocks, into low-carbon energy and benign solid residues or commercially viable products. Building on the data and capital assets developed in the Phase 1 project, funded by the PEI Cleantech Research & Innovation Fund, this project will progress the technical and commercial ambitions of Plasmergy PEI, yielding critical operational data and conceptual engineering/design documentation required to underpin fundra

Production of A Clean (Residual Free) Extract Containing High Levels of Antioxidants by Valorizing The Waste Stream Created From Blueberry Juice Production.$226Kvalue2024start2025end

Production of a clean (residual free) extract containing high levels of antioxidants by valorizing the waste stream created from blueberry juice production. To achieve this, we will exploit a proprietary technology that uses water as the primary solvent operating at high temperature and pressure, which was previously tested through an IRAP grant in 2023 to help establish the viability of a proposed production system.

Novel Bioreactor Designs for Cultivation of Marine microorganisms$79.9Kvalue2023start2025end

Bioreactor technology has been poorly explored for marine ecosystems compared to terrestrial ecosystems, both in the context of fundamental R&D and the subsequent translation of innovations from bench to market. The consequence is that the vast majority of marine microbes have never been successfully cultured, leaving untapped the wealth of biodiversity represented by global oceans. This project will focus on addressing capability gaps in the Canadian biotechnology sector by designing and manufacturing a novel bioreactor and associated systems to support the unique technical requirements of at

Engineering and Design of a Novel Multi-purpose Bioreactor for Atypical Fermentation$75.0Kvalue2023start2023end

Engineering and Design of a Commercial Scale Post Processing Technology for the Natural Products Industry$75.0Kvalue2023start2023end

AESI plans to research, design, engineer and test the feasibility of producing a commercial scale post processing technology that will replace current equipment and methodologies in the natural products extraction industries. Current techniques can only produce on average a 70-85% purity and are massively energy intensive. It is expected that we can improve this to a 95-98% purity, reduce energy consumption by a minimum of 60% and greatly increase efficiency.
