Active R&D Initiatives.

Investigating the processing limits of compounding micronized rice husk ash (RHA) with post-industrial polypropylene (PP). This program monitors melt flow indexes (MFI) and impact strength properties to ensure composite suitability for injection molding applications.

Developing a zero-acid purification workflow to extract amorphous silica from ash. Our objective is producing a highly disperse, low-carbon bio-silica to replace energy-intensive fumed silica and quartz fillers in consumer coatings and sealant formulations.

Validating ash-substituted cement mixtures under real weathering stresses. We formulate supplementary binders to cast durable exterior boards, pavers, and panels, monitoring shrinkage, water absorption, and compressive strength curves.

Calibrating air jet mills to control particle shape and size distributions down to the single-micron scale. Precision milling controls composite density, surface-to-volume bonding parameters, and final material gloss metrics.

Verifying carbon storage permanence inside commercial products. We develop digital batch certificates that log agricultural origin points, compounding dates, and carbon intensity indices to feed audited third-party carbon registries.

Modeling closed-loop agricultural processing facilities. We study the thermodynamics of generating process energy from husk combustion, recovering high-purity ash from flue gases, and routing water loops back to processing units.
