New project idea: CLEI – Calcination of Local resources for Low Environmental Impact cements

‘Development of calcined clay cements based on Flemish resources.’

Will you participate?

SIM has a new ICON proposal within the MADUROS program ‘CLEI – Calcination of Local resources for Low Environmental Impact cements’.

The CLEI project develops calcined clay cements based on local Flemish streams. Fundamentals of the calcination process are investigated and tailored to the needs of the Flemish secondary resources. The developed concrete formulations will be extensively tested for durability to identify the exposure classes in which they are suitable. The most promising formulations will be demonstrated in a construction project that is to be identified during the course of the project. More info via this link.   

Request for partners

Call for project partners and for members of the industrial advisory board (*) for the CLEI-project idea.

The project targets the use of local Flemish clay containing secondary streams, for the production of cements after calcination treatment. The project consortium already counts 2 research institutions and 3 companies.

(*) As from the beginning of this year, VLAIO advises an industrial advisory board for the SBO-part of an ICON (not obligatory but it makes the project proposal stronger)
