04 September 2023 - Trent Refractories Welcomes A TransFIRe Hub Colleague Progressing Technical Projects
We have recently welcomed one of our colleagues Ahmed Khalil from TransFIRe Hub on work experience with our technical team. Ahmed has spent a week progressing technical projects focusing on the re-use of foundation industry waste streams in refractories and also analysing the properties of other raw materials to enable us to broaden and deepen our knowledge of their performance in use and behaviours. We have really enjoyed having Ahmed as part of our team and found his presentations very useful. Thanks to him and the TransFIRe team for making it happen.
TransFIRe is a UKRI-funded (ISCF TFI challenge) programme investigating how the foundations industries including cement, metals, ceramics and glass, paper and chemicals can develop innovative solutions to reduce energy and resource use. It is a proactive, interdisciplinary, inclusive research and practice driven hub with 12 research organisations based in the UK and more than 80 project partners from across the foundation industries, trade associations, professional membership bodies, civic sector and government organisations. Trent Refractories is a partner of the TransFIREe project (Transforming Foundation Industries Research & Innovation Hub).
