Activated Filter Cake: Scaling Up Brick Binding Technology to Reduce Landfill Waste

Scott Bros成立于1972年，是一家位于英格兰东北部的大型运输和工厂租赁，回收和骨料公司。我们致力于成为一个碳中和的端到端企业，与公众、地方政府、住房和商业组织合作，提供一系列既高效又经济的服务。该项目将与提赛德大学（TU）合作。该研究将由TU Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre（NZIIC）推动，该中心是建筑创新和研究方面的专家。作为知识转移伙伴关系（KTP）的一部分，TU和Scott Bros此前曾合作研究滤饼。在小型洗矿厂的初步工作中，我们创建了原型，并对我们的活性滤饼（AFC）砖进行了产品测试，从而开发了两项专利申请。该项目将见证该工艺的创新和放大的商业化，以展示我们可以向最终用户展示的AFC的额外可行收入来源和最终产品。如果成功，该产品将成为Tees Valley Net Zero目标的重要贡献者，通过使建筑行业能够使用更大比例的回收资源和材料来提高其可持续性。

Established in 1972, Scott Bros is a group of large haulage and plant hire, recycling and aggregate company based in the Northeast of England. We strive to be a carbon-neutral, end-to-end business that works with the general public, local authorities, and housing and commercial organisations to provide an array of services that work both efficiently and economically.This project will be in collaboration with Teesside University (TU). The research will be facilitated by the TU Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre (NZIIC), specialists in construction innovation and research.TU & Scott Bros have previously collaborated together on research into filter cake, as part of the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP). This preliminary work at the small-scale Wash Plant created prototypes and performed product testing of our activated filter cake (AFC) brick leading to the development of two patent submissions.This project will see the commercialisation of the innovation and scale-up of the process to showcase an additional viable revenue stream and end-product for AFC that we can demonstrate to our end-users. If successful, the product will be a significant contributor to the Tees Valley Net Zero ambitions, through allowing the construction industry to improve its sustainability by enabling it to use a greater proportion of recycled resources and materials.
