Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program

CarbonRun Carbon Dioxide Removal Limited

$74,519.00

pH Sensor Validation and Climate-Resilient Housing Design

FY 2026-27 · 2026-05-11

Summary
CarbonRun is developing a ruggedized, autonomous river water quality monitoring platform to enable year-round measurement of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in Nova Scotia's challenging northern river environments. Building on an existing sensor integration program, this project will validate fit-for-purpose pH sensing technology for ultra-low conductivity freshwater and engineer climate-resilient sensor housing prototypes capable of withstanding winter freeze-thaw cycles and high-velocity flow events.

Description (French)
CarbonRun développe une plateforme autonome et robuste de surveillance de la qualité de l’eau des rivières afin de permettre la mesure, tout au long de l’année, de la capture du dioxyde de carbone (CDR) dans les environnements fluviaux difficiles du nord de la Nouvelle-Écosse. S’appuyant sur un programme existant d’intégration de capteurs, ce projet permettra de valider une technologie de mesure du pH adaptée aux eaux douces à très faible conductivité et de concevoir des prototypes de boîtiers de capteurs résilients au changement climatique, capables de résister aux cycles de gel-dégel hivernaux et aux évènements d’écoulement à grande vitesse.
Expected Results
The expected results and outcomes of NRC Industrial Research Assistance Program is focused on growing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through innovation and wealth creation for Canada.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats attendus du Programme d’aide à la recherche industrielle du CNRC sont axés sur la croissance des petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) grâce à l’innovation et à la création de richesse pour le Canada.
