Description
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL): Commercialization of Modular Cement Production in Chicago, IL This Project's Main Objective Is to Commercialize the Recipient’s Modular Cement Production Technology Through the Construction and Operation of a Facility in Chicago, Il. The Project Delivery Goals Are: 1) Commercialize a Process for Using Industrial Waste Materials (E.g.: Crushed Concrete Fines) to Replace Raw Material by at Least 44% to Make Ordinary Portland Cement. 2)LEVERAGE Learnings from the Recipient’s Pilot System Operations to Implement a Highly Efficient, Modular Kiln System That Leverages Porous Media Combustion Within a Vertical Packed Bed Reactor with a Capable Capacity of 160 Tons Per Day of Production. 3) Achieve a Baseline 47% Reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions with an Associated 90% Reduction in Emissions Over Traditional Cement Production.
