View webcastMany industrial operations produce ash and slag that often remains without further use. Side streams are not yet seen as a source of income or are not utilised in high-value-added commercial applications.
We have collaborated to convert side streams from power plants and steel and mining industry from waste into commercially valuable and usable raw materials.
Betolar is a Finnish, internationally operating company that develops a cement replacement material called Geoprime®. With Geoprime® concrete can be produced with up to 80% less carbon dioxide emissions than using conventional cement.
Local side streams are an important material flow in the production of Geoprime® – and therefore green concrete. Their use is environmentally friendly and strongly supports the Sustainable Development Goals.
The preliminary study of the side stream creates an understanding of whether the material being studied is suitable for green concrete solutions, or potentially for some other use cases.
We test the chemical, physical and strength development properties of the material. As a result of the study, you will receive a report in which we compare the performance of the material with cement standards, as well as the most common cement substitutes.
In addition, the study aims to identify the most common commercialisation business risks. These may be related to, for example, the need for pre-treatment or harmful ingredients.
Any existing information on the material, such as safety data sheet, MARA report, XRF or similar, can be attached to the form.
Information that facilitates safe handling of material reduces testing time and may therefore also lower price of the offer.
You will receive an offer from us by email.
After accepting the offer, you can send the sample to Betolar's office in Finland.
The offer contains information about the size of sample materials need to carry out the tests. Typically, the amount is within the size range of 10-20 kg.
Tests are usually carried out within about 8-10 weeks from the arrival of the material.
Unfortunately, the testing time cannot be shortened, as concrete standards require long-term monitoring of strength development.
When the tests are complete, you will receive a report via email in which we will review the suitability of the material for green concrete solutions.
If we recommend the commercialisation of the material, the final report you will include a proposal from us for the next commercialisation project.
