Widening the Scope of NBCI Pvt. Ltd. in Punjab

In a recent event, Navratan Blue Crete Industries Pvt Ltd’s CMD, Mr. Himanshu Verma along with Blue World Crete Inc of the United States of America and his team of scientists met the Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal for widening the scope of innovation of green concrete technology in cement industry. The team discussed how this new innovation can help build safer, reliable and sustainable homes at a very less cost. The company also conferred about setting up manufacturing plants in the region. The DCM, Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal appreciated the initiative and has assured to welcome this new technology in Punjab. Himanshu Verma Navrattan Blue Crete Industries Pvt. Ltd.

Earth’s Core and Magnetic field

Earth’s magnetic field has always been a matter of interest for scientists all over the world. However, unlike the field of a bar magnet, Earth's field changes over time because it is generated by the motion of molten iron alloys in the Earth's outer core. Earth's polarity is not constant. Unlike a classic bar magnet or the decorative magnets on your refrigerator, the matter governing Earth's magnetic field moves around. Geophysicists are pretty sure that the reason Earth has a magnetic field is because of its solid iron core is surrounded by a fluid ocean of hot, liquid metal. This process can also be modeled with supercomputers. Ours is, without hyperbole, a dynamic planet. The flow of liquid iron in Earth's core creates electric currents, which in turn create the magnetic field. So while parts of Earth's outer core are too deep for scientists to measure directly, we can infer movement in the core by observing changes in the magnetic field. The m...

Algae Biodiesel

Way back in 1912, Dr. Rudolf Diesel remarked “The use of vegetable oil as fuel might seem of no importance in our times. However, such products can gain importance in the course of time and reach an equal status compared with today's petroleum and these coal-tar products”, which stands true today. In the wake to look for alternative energy, researches all over the world are trying their hands hard at creating more and more energy alternatives. Algae is one of them. Today, algae are being used at a wide scale to produce oil from it. Microalgalroute to biodiesel is a potential alternative to vegetable oil and overall economics of the process needs improvement to be a competitive substitute to petrodiesel. In the beginning, there were algae, but there was no oil. Then, from algae came oil. Now, the algae are still there, but oil is fast depleting. In the future, there will be no oil, but there will still be algae. So it makes complete sense to explore if we can again g...

Geo-Blue Crete - Reducing Carbon-dioxide Footprint

Portland cement is the most common type of cement used worldwide and   is the biggest target for reducing the CO 2 footprint of building materials. According to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, cement manufacturing is alone responsible for 5% of global CO 2 emissions. To make cemen t, manufacturers heat limestone in a kiln to 2,650 °F. The process eliminates chemically bound water molecules, releases CO 2 , and produces a marble-sized material called clinker, which is then ground to a fine powder. Gypsum is added, and the resulting cement is mixed with water, sand, and aggregates to produce concrete. The rehydration causes an exothermic chemical reaction that hardens the mix. Builders all over the world have recently become aware of the significant carbon footprint of their most basic building supplies. Experts estimate that the manufacture of traditional building materials is responsible for 10–12% of carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S., mainl...

Blue Crete Cement - Innovative Cement Technology

After years of research scientists have invented a new type of cement that is a cross breed of Geo-Polymer and Nano-Ceramic cement. Geo-Blue Crete is a complete low carbon alternative that looks, acts and works like Portland cement but has three times the compression and tensile strengths of Portland cement. It can be distributed in the same way, with the same equipment, at a low manufacturing cost. This new age cement is a one-part system that only requires a simple paddle mixing of its powdered chemical formula at ambient temperatures. The manufacturing process is not dependent on fossil fuels or large kilns. However, it's delivery system remains the same as OPC and the product itself results in a high-performance concrete at 6000 psi and over. It is water retardant, acid retardant, discourages the oxidation of rebar, and has a near-zero coefficient of expansion, which makes it excellent in below-freezing temperatures as well as in tropical regions. It does not trans...

Innovative Cement Technology

It gives us an immense pleasure to announce that we (Navrattan Blue Crete Industries Private limited) our the first ones to welcome totally new and innovative technology in construction material in India. Well, the big news is that we have been approved as the first and the only venture in India to hold the license to Blue World Crete Cement Technologies, USA. The news came early October and since then the last trimester of the year has been really occupied and busy.  Well here I would like to talk about this technology. It is relatively new in the market but is absolutely innovative. The concrete is made from red mud and its incredible value of minerals can be used to make the best superhydrophobic co ncrete which can sustain in water, is heat resistant and can last forever.   Navrattan Blue Crete Industries Private Limited is a Joint Venture Company between Navrattan Free Power Corporation Limited of India & Blue World Crete Incorporation of United States...
