Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Development of Continuous Flow (Contiflow) Process for manufacturing of Silicone Polyethers
991022
Development of new continuous flow technology to replace our current batch process to make our silicone polyethers. Our current batch production is a multistep process that requires long cycle times (72 hrs) to complete all steps. It utilizes large reactors and processing vessels, requires large volume of solvents and is energy inefficient. With a Contiflow it is our objective to reduce cycle times to 24 hrs, reduce the use of solvents by 50% or eliminate them. The Contiflow Process in tubular reactors is expected to cut the energy consumption by at least 50 % as well as reduce the generated material waste. Additional important benefits are a safer plant operation and a more consistent product quality.
