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.

Pilot IoT Leak Detection System on Vermilion's Gathering Pipelines
949151
A significant portion of Alberta’s gathering pipeline base is composed of lines carrying emulsion water, salt water and liquid hydro carbons over short distances from oil wells to batteries and process plants. These pipelines are intertwined with multiple branch connections. There is currently a lack of cost-effective and efficient ways to detect pin-hole sized leaks on these pipelines.To address this problem, Vanmok has developed an IoT/Cloud based technology that could detect pin-hole leaks and would significantly reduce the environmental consequence of pipeline spills across the entire oil and gas industry. The main objective of this project is adaptation and implementation of Vanmok LD® Cloud on an Industrial gathering pipeline system.

ICAP ARP India Market Entry - International Co-Innovation Action Program
939432
“International Co-Innovation Action Program (ICAP) project” - India Market Entry.
Vanmok has been developing pipeline theft detection technology to address the theft of liquid hydrocarbon products (oil/Jet fuel/Gasoline etc.) from pipelines. Vanmok would like to use co-innovation as a mechanism to co-develop the IoT Sensors/Devices and, validate/adapt the technology. Vanmok would like to enter Indian market because urgent need exists and allow access to pipelines/operational data. Vanmok will be looking for co-innovation partners who has technical capability in IoT Sensors/Devices development and technical resources with access to use pipelines in order to validate and adapt our technology more efficiently.

IoT / Cloud Based Theft and Leak Detection (as per API 1130 performance metrics) in Hydrocarbon Liquid Transportation Pipelines
932156
Losses of the liquid hydrocarbon from transmission pipelines may occur incidentally due to various natural and technical reasons or intentionally by drilling from outside perhaps with the purpose of damaging or stealing the refined oil products from the pipeline. Both two sources of leakage from a pipeline have been considered an ongoing issue in this industry. Vanmok will develop pipeline theft detection by using mathematical and physical modeling and implementing IoT technology coupled with Cloud platform. Once ready to be used, this technology will bringing the theft detection system at the finger tip and palm of the pipeline operators and or management, law enforcement officers wherever in the world they may be or whatever time of day.

Development of Processes and Procedures for Implementation and Adaptation of Vanmok Leak Detection Technology
927303
In order to increase the pipeline safety and preserve environment from potential leaks, Vanmok has developed Leak Detection Software (Vanmok LD™ Studio ) which can detect leaks from 0.5% of nominal flow rate (such as leaks from pinholes) to ruptures within one-kilometer accuracy in a short span of time (less than few minutes). Vanmok would like to hire a youth staff to help with the development of processes and procedures for the implementation, adaption of Vanmok Leak Detection technology. This will be an excellent opportunity for youth staff to be involved in cutting-edge technology while applying engineering first principles.
