TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE MINING SECTOR
Canada is a nation buit on its abundant natural resources – our national treasure
Leon Wasser MBA, P.Eng.
We offer a wide range of technologies which specifically address the needs of Canada’s northern mining sector and their unique challenges including long cold dark winters, dependence on diesel generators, long and challenging supply lines and potable water supply problems. Our growing portfolio of low maintenance renewable energy technology solutions can empower northern mining operations self sufficient in terms of electrical power and thermal energy and reduce their dependence on fuel delivery dependent diesel generators.
HYDROGEN POWER AND CLEAN WATER GENERATION
- Offered in partnership with EnShift Energy, HCI Energy and CanWindPower
- hydrogen power generators

BIOMASS POWER
, Wasser Resources Inc. is pleased to announce a new line of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) generators which use renewable biomass products as a feedstock. The following are some of the key features and benefits of CHP13045:
- Model CHP13045 generates 130kw of thermal energy & 45kW of electrical power on average
- Combined heat & power generators which use wood waste, chips & sawdust as feedstock
- Easy to operate, fully automated 24/7 operation with automatic fuel feeding
- Options for both local and remote control
- Offered in partnership with EverGreen Energy and manufacturer, Mech & Associates
ROOFTOP AND FREE STANDING WIND MICRO-TURBINES
- Full array of models for a variety of applications
- Modular assembly ensures rapid installation
- Optimized design for maximum wind production
- Virtually maintenance free and designed for long service life
- Offered in conjunction with EnShift Energy
RUN-OF-THE-RIVER MICRO HYDRO GENERATORS
- Uses river current to generate large amounts power continuously every hour of the day
- Rub-of-river design with placement of turbine on river bottom
- River insertion avoids interrupting fish movement and the river navigation
- Manufactured off-site and dropped in place for rapid deployment
- Operates year-round if river is deep enough and/or river is fast enough to avoid freezing
- Factory fabricated and ready to drop into location and then begin to generate power
- Unique turbine scoop accelerates water flow so operates in slow moving rivers.
- Offered in collaboration with EverGreen Energy and Oryon, the WaterMill manufacturing
ECOWAVE POWER OCEAN WAVE ENERGY
- High efficiency wave power harvesting
- Modular design allows for easy system expansion
- Designed to withstand intense winter weather
- Produces large quantities of electrical power
SOLAR POWER GENERATING ROOF SHINGLE SYSTEMS
- Canadian designed modular steel roof shingles roofing system
- Shingle units including wiring connect together easily like Lego®
- Provides a highly durable roof that will last for 25 years (double typical life asphalt shingles).
- Generates large amounts of electricity throughout the long northern summer
- Low voltage shingle wiring can be installed by any qualified by roofer
- Electrician only needed for final system connection to building inverter at end of installation
- Systems are shipped as a complete kit with all components including shingles and wiring
- Can help reduce reliance on diesel power all summer long.
ENTRANCE DOOR AIR CURTAINS
- Wide range of electrically heated, hot water heated and unheated (ambient models)
- Full line of options for pedestrian and freight entrance doors
- Conserve precious heat all year long
- Prevent the rapid loss of building heat each time an exterior door is opened
- Keeps out insects, dust, rain and snow
- Specially designed and built for cold northern conditions
COMPUTERIZED MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
- PC and cloud based software program to help manage all assets
- Systems used globally to manage buildings, vehicles, equipment and infrastructure
- Manage all your assets all through their product life cycle
- Records the purchase of equipment, supplies and the contact services.
- Plan, schedule, undertake and record all anticipates maintenance work
- Manage, respond to and document unplanned emergency repairs
- Manage part supplies to ensure you have inventory when and where needed
- Schedule contractor and maintenance staff work and travel including costs
- Generates a wide range of reports based on any criteria or time period you need
- Used by Kasabonika Lake First Nation (ON) nd Hartley Bay First Nation (BC)
- Used by Agriculture & AgriFoods Canada, CSA, Woodbine Entertainment and many airports
WIRELESS RETROFIT BUILDING CONTROLS
- Reduce power consumption for lighting, HVAC & plug loads and major equipment
- Monitor and automatically turn off and on electrical devices including lights, electrical
- Managers can easily create and modify on/off schedules for numerous devices
- Monitor and control all electrical devices from your own local Autani Control Centre
- Can incorporate thermostats, light meters, humidity meters to help monitor operations
- Provides you with round-the clock 365 year per year monitoring, control and security
- Each individual device monitor and controller is inexpensive and easy to install
- System is fully modular to enable you to gradually build your system
- Once installed Autani devices and system need almost no maintenance.
- You maintain control over your system, but Autani is available to help with a 24 support link.
POWER QUALITY METERS & REMEDIATION SYSTEMS
- Identify and fix many types of power quality problems
