AERATION The addition of aluminium causes expansion of the mixture through the aeration process. The reaction between aluminium and the rest of the mixture releases hydrogen gas resulting in the formation of microscopic bubbles. When the hydrogen gas evaporates it leaves the bubbles filled with air, which expands the concrete to about five times its original volume, in the mould. In a few hours the slurry firms up and is ready to be removed from the mould and transported to a cutting machine where it is cut precisely into blocks, panels or lintels of specific size as required. Waste material is recycled back for crushing and remixing. AUTOCLAVING The cut aerated concrete is further cured in a pressure chamber where they are subjected to high pressure saturated steam for up to 12 hours. The chamber is called an autoclave and the curing process is autoclaving. Autoclaving hardens the aerated concrete blocks, panels and lintels, rendering them airtight, lightweight, non-toxic and non-organic and loading them with superlative advantages/benefits that make them the smartest building material. After autoclaving the blocks are ready to be packed and delivered. The foremost advantage of the manufacturing process is that there is no harmful effluence, pollutants or toxic waste at all. RAW MATERIAL About 80% of Aerobild AAC is pores. Which straightaway means Aerobild AAC can be manufactured with very less amount of raw material. It can be easily said that about one fourth of raw material is all that is required for manufacture when compared with other construction material. Low consumption of raw material directly contributes to their conservation. RECYCLING Aerobild AAC uses flyash as one of its chief raw materials, an industrial waste, which is the hallmark of recycling. Further, AAC – both hardened and unhardened, wasted during the manufacturing process can be 100% recycled back into the production of AAC. The consequential lowering of the carbon footprint puts Aerobild right up on the eco-friendly pedestal and thus Opus Industries becomes eligible for carbon credits. ENERGY CONSUMPTION Maximum energy is consumed during the autoclaving in the manufacture of Aerobild AAC blocks followed by integrating various raw materials into making the slurry. Yet the total amount energy consumed for production of Aerobild AAC blocks is nearly 2 or 3 times lower than producing other building material such as burnt brick. PRODUCTION EMISSION Aerobild AAC manufacture produces very low quantity of gases such as CO2, CO and NO – which emanate during the generation of steam, as compared to the burning process in brick production. The advanced manufacturing process ensures there is zero harmful effluence, pollutants or toxic waste. THERMAL CONTROL Aerobild AAC provides thermal insulation to the buildings negating the need for supplementary insulation. Also less power is consumed to heat or cool a building built with Aerobild. MOSITURE CONTROL Aerobild’s porous nature and breathable quality ensures lower moisture levels and consequently achieves correct relative humidity. Mould-free living is a reality with Aerobild. PRODUCT WEIGHT The light weight of Aerobild enables loading of higher quantity while transportation and effects maximum capacity utilization – almost 5 times more as compared to normal materials.
