Case Study:

CEMENT-LOCK 

A Technology that Destroys Contaminated and Hazardous Wastes

And creates,

1.       Clean Energy, and

2.       Cement.

Cement-Lock’s Beneficial Uses Include Cement & Electricity

         Ecomelt                                                                                            Electricity  

Ecomelt: Mixed with Portland cement creates a high-grade cement that after 28 days curing exceeds ASTM requirement for Portland cement.

Electricity: The super-heated flue gases are funneled into a boiler for the production of steam to create 9.55 MW of electricity for each 500,000 cyd facility..

Cement-Lock Captures 

Heavy Metals

The toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) results show that none of the Ecomelt leached any priority metals above regulatory limits.

Most analyses were below detection limits.

Concrete Compression Tests 

6,650 psi achieved after 56 days

Ecomelt: Tested Successfully at Montclair State University 

New Jersey, USA

Cement-Lock

Today’s Opportunity

Developed for the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
