Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
College of New Caledonia
$24,938.00
Development of an innovative pyrolytic process to derive valuable biochemicals from wood
FY 2014-15
Summary
The College of New Caledonia and BioStill Chemicals Inc. are collaborating on an applied research project todevelop BioStill's proprietary multi-stage thermal process to extract and separate valuable biochemicals fromwood feed stock. BioStill intends to use research outcomes from this project to support the development of afull-scale industrial plant process in the interior of British Columbia that converts wood waste from localsawmills into valuable chemical products aimed at domestic and international markets.College chemistry students will work directly with College researchers and BioStill Chemicals Inc., and willhave an opportunity to apply technical chemical analysis skills to help develop an innovative process that willyield commercial value from wood waste. This project will contribute to forest sector revitalization bydiversifying the range of products derived from Canada's forests.
