Answers to our most frequently asked questions
Where do you grow the algae?
We have strategic partners that are based in key growing climates to ensure efficiencies and effectiveness of the algae
What’s the dosage of ProZERO™ needed for a typical mix?
Dosage is based on project goals and mix specifications. For ready-mix producers, this is typically set by targeted cement replacement levels (10–40%). We work with suppliers to determine the appropriate replacement percentage needed
to meet targeted GWP and carbon reduction goals within your local market and your project.
Who does the testing prior to a pour?
We recommend that you or your lab conduct testing using your own materials and placement practices. We provide mix guidance and technical support throughout the process.
What do ready-mix suppliers need to do to integrate your product into our mixes?
ProZERO™ integrates similarly to other OPC replacements
(slag, natural pozzolan, fly ash, limestone, etc.). Suppliers can use existing handling and batching practices. We work with
suppliers to determine the best delivery method. ProZERO™
has been delivered to partners, job sites, and batch plants via bags, super sacks, and bulker trailers.
