SolarSteam Inc. is a private renewable technology company that designs, manufactures, installs, and servicesconcentrating solar-thermal technology and systems for customers requiring heat for industrial processes, andheating and cooling applications. Based in Calgary, Alberta, SolarSteam is pursuing the development andcommercialization of a unique design of a proven solar technology targeting customers in extreme climates.SolarSteam generators can be operated in conjunction with existing steam boilers to reduce environmentalimpact by displacing the number of carbon emissions produced in fuel consumption for conventional steamgeneration. Recently, the company has secured support from a multi-billion-dollar company. SolarSteam islooking to integrate their thermal heat solution into petrochemical facilities' current thermal processes,however, they are facing challenges to fully execute the development since they do not have extensivepetrochemical industry development expertise.In collaboration, SolarSteam and Lambton College will focus on the research, design, model, simulation, andtesting of the integration of SolarSteam energy system into an existing petrochemical facility. The researchteam will also build a prototype through simulation and conduct testing to identify the parameters to maximizethe efficiency of the system compared with the simulation model. These results will be used to scale upoperations of the SolarSteam technology integrating with petrochemical facilities for commercialization. Thesuccess of the proposed project will enhance heavy and small industry production with solar energy acrossmultiple sectors, as well as reduce costs, carbon emissions, and create additional jobs along the supply chain. Itis anticipated that the results from this project will be the foundation for the next steps of a pilot project.Further leading to new customers and revenues up to $40M CAD in the next five years with additional jobcreation of up to 30 new positions.

SolarSteam公司是一家私营的可再生能源技术公司，为客户设计、制造、安装和服务集中太阳能热技术和系统，用于工业过程和加热和冷却应用。总部位于阿尔伯塔省卡尔加里的SolarSteam公司正在追求一种独特设计的成熟太阳能技术的开发和商业化，目标是在极端气候下的客户。太阳能蒸汽发生器可以与现有的蒸汽锅炉一起运行，通过取代传统蒸汽发电在燃料消耗中产生的碳排放来减少对环境的影响。最近，该公司获得了一家价值数十亿美元的公司的支持。SolarSteam希望将他们的热能解决方案整合到石化设施当前的热过程中，然而，由于他们没有广泛的石化行业开发专业知识，他们面临着全面执行开发的挑战。通过合作，SolarSteam和兰姆顿学院将专注于SolarSteam能源系统集成到现有石化设施中的研究、设计、模型、仿真和测试。研究小组还将通过仿真建立一个原型，并进行测试，以确定参数，以最大限度地提高系统与仿真模型的效率。这些成果将用于扩大SolarSteam技术与石化设施的商业化。拟议项目的成功将提高多个部门的重型和小型工业的太阳能生产，降低成本，减少碳排放，并在供应链上创造额外的就业机会。预计这一项目的成果将成为试点项目下一步工作的基础。在未来五年内，进一步带来新客户和高达4000万加元的收入，并创造多达30个新职位。
