The challenge of utilising ash and slag
Many 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.
From side stream to raw material for green concrete
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.
Easy start with a preliminary study
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.
