CHRYSO®ICARE is a new patent-pending innovation that boosts cement compressive strengths to significantly reduce clinker factor and therefore cement CO2 footprint.
CHRYSO®ICARE is a disruptive technology developed into 2 ranges:
CHRYSO®ICARE patent-pending technology has been developed to support the Cement industry in lowering cement carbon footprint.
CHRYSO®ICARE strength enhancers enable to achieve unequalled performance:
Especially designed for Vertical Roller Mills, CHRYSO®ICARE VRM additive range allows to achieve higher cement compressive strengths by overtaking process limitations:
CHRYSO®ICARE CP additives provide full cement activation potential by better controlling cement transport properties in ball mill or Horomill®-based processes:
CHRYSO®ICARE DIAGNOSIS focuses on 4 parameters
Developed by our technical experts, CHRYSO®ICARE DIAGNOSIS confirms the benefits of CHRYSO®ICARE Technology for each plant, according to a prior on-field process assessment and customer needs evaluation.
Tailor-made additives will be designed accordingly to provide you with the optimal cost/performance solutions.
MILL
DESIGN
Mill type and configuration as well as particle classification technology are key parameters.
PROCESS
SENSITIVITY
Grinding workshop bottlenecks are carefully assessed at all stages of the process.
CEMENT
COMPOSITION
Cement composition and SCM quality are analyzed.
TARGETED
PERFORMANCE
Both cement quality and production requirements strongly drive the design of tailor-made solutions.
In some specific process conditions (e.g. Vertical Roller Mills), the use of conventional high performance strength enhancers can lead to process limitations. These sides effects are often controlled by reducing the dosing rate of cement additive. However, this leads to a lack of grinding aid in cement to achieve all the benefits from the chemicals. […]
The performance of conventional strength enhancers can be limited by different grinding process constraints. An example is given with a process design based on a combined high-pressure-roller-press with single chamber ball mill and 3rd generation separator. It is stressed a high process sensitivity with strength enhancers. This demonstrates the direct impact of too powerful strength […]
In order to reduce CO2 emissions coming from cement production, manufacturers are increasingly making use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). However, the use of SCMs such as slag, fly ash or limestone usually leads to a decrease of cement strength performances, especially at early age. The addition of an efficient activator can allow to compensate this loss of performances. Different molecules and salts can be used […]
