This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project develops the manufacturing process for a cement additive from an agricultural biomass waste to be used in the production of High Performance Concrete (HPC), and blended cement. This additive imparts increased strength and durability to concrete; therefore will mostly be used in high-rise buildings, highway construction, and infrastructures built in severe environmental conditions, e.g. petrochemical plants and marine structures. This project will generate increased revenues to the US farmers by selling their byproduct at a higher price and will create jobs in rural areas. Also, potential exists to license the technology to several emerging economies, where there is an urgent need to build transportation-, energy- and building-infrastructures.The Broader Impacts of this research will be increased and higher value use of this agricultural waste in high strength cement. Utilization of this improved product will reduce pollution caused by the current alternatives in both air and at landfill sites. This research is intended to provide a profitable alternative to farmers producing this crop and create rural jobs.

该小型企业创新研究第二阶段项目开发了从农业生物质废物中生产水泥添加剂的制造工艺，用于生产高性能混凝土（HPC）和混合水泥。 这种添加剂可提高混凝土的强度和耐久性;因此主要用于高层建筑、公路建设和在恶劣环境条件下建造的基础设施，例如石化厂和海洋结构。 该项目将通过以更高的价格出售其副产品为美国农民带来更多的收入，并将在农村地区创造就业机会。此外，有可能将该技术许可给几个新兴经济体，这些经济体迫切需要建立交通，能源和建筑基础设施。这项研究的更广泛影响将增加，并在高强度水泥中更高价值地使用这种农业废物。 使用这种改进的产品将减少目前的替代品在空气和垃圾填埋场造成的污染。 这项研究旨在为生产这种作物的农民提供一种有利可图的替代品，并创造农村就业机会。
