Cranberry Liqueur Production (Design III)
Justin Dougherty, Paul Deram, Laura Gilbert, Guillaume Lamoureux
The goal is to determine the feasibility of implementing a factory for the production of cranberry liqueur. Two production methods (fermentation and maceration) were analyzed to determine the most advantageous. Flow rates of the system are examined to meet the production needs. A floor plan of the factory is created, and a s......imulation of the production process is conducted.

Compost Bioreactor (Design III)
Eyad Jamaleddine, Clo茅 Rainville
The push toward greener industrial and residential activities is making composting a hot topic. Uniform conditions are necessary to ensure the destruction of pathogens and a quality product, so it is essential to maintain a homogeneous temperature throughout the compost. To achieve this, an in-vessel heat redistribution system was constructed and tested. The system requires no external inputs of energy, but exploits the principles of conductive and convective heat exchange. Temperature differentials within the compost bed cause water to flow through a closed coil of copper tubing, redistributing the core heat throughout the compost. Heat is also conducted along the copper tubing. A controlled experiment was conducted to test the design. A statistical analysis of the experimental results demonstrates that the vessels fitted with the heat redistribution system exhibit lower temperature gradients within the compost bed than in control vessels without the system.

Going Green: Building a Bio-Wall at Macdonald Campus (Design III)
Janette Kwan, Emily 9I制作厂免费
The "Going Green" design project endeavors to make the Bioresource engineering department more livable and inviting. By installing a living wall in the alcove, the "Going Green" system aims to enliven the area with expected higher humidity, more natural light levels, and with the aesthetic pleasure of living plants. By tying this installation into the department via educational displays and a webpage, "Going Green" hopes to bring a fresh direction in building design to the campus, while leading the way as one of the first projects for this type of installation at 9I制作厂免费. The design features an integrated planting, irrigation, lighting, and computer control system. Come hear the detailed presentation to see if you might want to get involved with this ongoing project.

Detention Ponds for Agricultural Fields (Design III)
Jonathan Martel-Gagnon, Minh-Vy Le
In the last few years there has been increased attention paid to phenomena caused by the eutrophication of fresh water bodies. While the government is actively trying to reduce the phosphorus loss from agricultural fields, researchers also try to look at other methods that could be used to address the problem. One of those methods is the use of detention ponds in agricultural fields to reduce phosphorus pollution, as well as to reduce the peak flow due during precipitation. Far from being new, detention ponds have mainly been used in municipal and construction sites as flood control structures, but also as sedimentation basins to reduce non-point source pollution. However, few guidelines exist on how to build this kind of pond for a small drainage area. This presentation will present guidelines and simulation tools that were created based on the literature found.

Sustainable Lighting for Raymond (Design III)
Zhao Li, Zara Rana
One of the greatest uses of electricity is lighting, which is used everywhere in, for example, industrial, commercial, and residential buildings. Electric lighting can be costly and energy demanding. There are many solutions to address this problem, such as energy efficient light fixtures, and such systems can be used reduce operating costs. Our design explores the possibility of sustainable lighting for the Raymond building located on our very own MacDonald campus. Our design attempts to use natural daylight as a source for sustainable lighting, and we will be discussing the details of the design.
