UHPC - Use in recycling plants

UHPC Ultra High Performance Concrete
application in recycling plants for

• Synthetic substance - Recycling
• Plastic - Recycling
• Military equipment - Recycling
• Paper - Recycling
• Metal - Recycling
• Precious metal - Recycling
• PCBs - Recycling
• Nuclear - Recycling

The reprocessing of paper, plastic, chemical 
waste, rubber and metals has become an 
extremely important commodity market for 
the producing industry. Much more metal 
raw material is recovered from reprocessing 
than mining.
The material required for reprocessing is 
stored on large exterior and interior surfaces. 
Here, the bearing surfaces are mechanically 
attacked as well as the corrosive liquids 
extremely.
Many existing concrete surfaces show 
considerable damage, which does not 
guarantee the smooth and safe transport 
of the stored goods for reprocessing.
UHPC floor systems are best suited for 
these loads due to their hardness and 
wear resistance. These floor systems are 
laid without joints. Due to the very high 
material density, penetration of corrosive 
liquid with professional installation is 
almost impossible.

UHPC floor and pavementsystems are 
UHPC Phalt and UHPC TopLayer.

UHPC Phalt is a combination of traditional
asphalt with UHPC concrete. The result is a
ground or street blast with the flexibility of asphalt 
and the very high compressive strength and 
wear resistance of UHPC concrete. The 
processing and processing time is extremely 
easy and cost effective.
UHPC TopLayer are floor coverings made of 
UHPC concrete for very high mechanical loads. 
The material thickness is only a fraction of 
standard screeds or concretes.
UHPC TopLayer are extremely corrosion 
resistant and can be installed almost on any 
flooring. UHPC TopLayer achieve compressive 
strengths of far more than 140 MPa

- The jointless surface prohibits damages on trucks
- Can be applied thin on even the weakest base
- Freeze/thaw resistance
- Fast curing -short stop time
- Cost efficient alternative where a weak base
  requires a change in both wearing course and
  course

UHPC - Alternative engery power plant

UHPC Ultra High Performance Concrete products used as wear and corrosion protection for all kind of alternative energy production plants.
All of our UHPC special concrete products have a minimum compressive strength of 120 MPa / 17400 psi. UHPC concrete can install on concrete and steel structures, for new constructions as well as for repairs. UHPC concrete for wear and corrosion protection can be processed as mortar, grout or shotcrete.

UHPC HT High Temperature wear and corrosion resistant material can also applied in a combination with a thin high effective insulation
material. This combination can reduce the amount
of refactory material by approx. 50%

Benefit of UHPC lining systems

 - Smooth surfaces
 - Jointless surfaces
 - Resistant to rapid temperature fluctuations
 - Temperature resistance up to 1.000°C/1832°F
 - High compressive strength
 - High wear resistant
 - Good thermal insulation
 - Flexible layer thicknesses
 - Good chemical resistant
 - Very good corrosion resistant
 - Good resistance to mechanical loads

Incineration power plant

Incineration plants have beside wear problems
also corrosion problems. Waste burning creates
a aggressive atmosphere.

Standard application:

• Ash system
• Dedusting system
• Rubbish bunker
• Pneumatic pipeline system
• Burner feeding system
• Roadway redevelopment 

Biomass power plant

Here mostly it is all kind of wood and bio waste which is used as firing material. In the complete material handling process you will find wear and corrosion.

 

 

 Biogas power plant

We offer for corrosion and wear problems in the gas production process UHPC linings for:

• Bunker
• Shredder
• Dewaster
• Material transport system

UHPC - Wear and corrosion protection in incineration plants

In modern incineration plants today large quantities of household rubbish and industrial waste are burned for the purpose of extraction process steam and energy.

The burning of waste considerable demands on the process equipment and their construction material by the discontinuous garbage quality a very high material quality.

For some years, UHPC material has been used as wear protection with and without thermal insulation in waste incineration plants. The advantage of UHPC is the unique combination of temperature resistance, 
very good wear protection and very easy 
processing. UHPC is equally suitable for 
new constructions as well as for repair work. 
UHPC HT wear protection material can also 
be used on refractory linings in a fast-curing 
version for short-term repairs.

Benefits of UHPC lining material

• Easy installation method
• No special tools are necessary
  
• Flexible layer thickness
• Overhead installation possible
• Jointless installation
• Extreme compressive strength
• Very high wear resistant
• Very good corrosion resistant
• Very good thermal shock resistant
• Adapts each of surface geometry
• Fast curing at ambient temperature
• High temperature resistant

Lining areas

• Routes of waste collection vehicles to discharge area in the waste bunker
• Waste bunker ramps and walls
• Waste feed hopper
• Waste conveyor duct to the burner grate
• Ash handling systems
• Dedusting systems

Special UHPC materials are virtually the bridge material of the future

Bridges are among the oldest, most important and most prominent construction tasks of humanity. For a long time, bridge construction was mainly characterised by functional criteria, but nowadays more and more attention is paid to visual appearance. Highly developed building technologies can be used to create exciting, previously unimaginable constructions.


Several characteristics of UHPC make it a desirable construction materials. With increased compressive (more than 200 MPa) and tensile 
strengths, the material lends itself well to 
structural applications by allowing higher loads 
to be supported. By utilising the higher strengths, 
traditional structural components can also be 
reduced in size and weigth.
Another benefit of UHPC is the high density and
none porosity of the material making it essentially 
impermeable to water and chlorides, thus making 
the material highly durable. Both characteristics 
also make UHPC attractive in areas of high impact 
and where water or chloride ions can corrode steel 
reinforcement. 

Advantages

• High compressive strength
• Fast development of compressive strength
• High wear and impact resistant
• Absolute frost and thaw resistant
• Impermeable to fluids but still vapour permeable
• Anti corrosive features
• Good bonding to sub-bases, aggregates and reinforcement
• High temperature resistant
• Fast curing
• Sort repair stops
• Jointless lining

Elements of a bridge that can be executed with UHPC

• Bridge foundation 
• Bridge bearings
• Bridge supports
• Bridge deck and bridge deck pavement
• Prestressed concrete foundation

UHPC Hot gas slide system in a cement plant

A customer from the cement industry had permanent problems with a hot gas gate valve. The gate valve was made of a stainless steel construction with a refractory heat protection lining. The average gas temperature is in the pipesystem is 800°/1472°F - 1000°C/1832°F.

The problems in detail were

• Significant wear due to high dust loading in the gas flow
• Heat exchange problems arose as a result of temperature changes and the result was breakdowns in the refractory lining and problems with the movement of the slide.

We engineer a slider made complete of UHPC HT (High Temperature) with the following characteristics

• High thermal shock resistance
• Thermal stability up to 1100°C/2012°F
• Very high wear resistance
• High impact resistance
• There was no metallic reinforcement used, so there was no metallic thermal expansion
• Due to the very high strength values ​​of the UHPC used, the board thickness could be reduced by more than 60% compared to the old refractory construction.
• This resulted in a weight reduction of almost 50%, which also reduce power consumption.
• a drastic reduction of the idle time and better movability of the gate valve resulted in a 16% better production.

Here are a short video to show the impact resistance of the gate plate
