Pioneering Pipe Production with Zym-Tec™ Technology
In 2010, Zym-Tec™ technology was successfully implemented in Ethiopia to revolutionize the production of concrete pipes. By utilizing local black cotton soil and reducing cement consumption by up to 80%, this project showcased the potential of Zym-Tec™ to deliver cost-effective, sustainable solutions for infrastructure development.
Transforming Pipe Production with Zym-Tec™
The process involved mixing and preparing concrete using Zym-Tec™ enzymes combined with local soil. The prepared mix was molded into 1-meter diameter, 1-meter height water pipes. This innovative approach eliminated the need for special soil and drastically reduced cement usage, saving resources and costs.
Process and Innovation
By using local resources and cutting down on cement consumption, the project minimized environmental impact while significantly reducing production costs. The use of Zym-Tec™ technology also supported local labor and promoted eco-friendly construction practices.
Environmental and Economic Impact
Zym-Tec™ technology enables significant reductions in cement usage, saving between 50% and 80% in pipe production. This innovative approach minimizes reliance on traditional materials, lowering costs while maintaining high-quality standards.
Cement Usage Reduced by 50–80%
