Customer case

Radiation shielding for ITER

When the last supply of MagnaDense took place in April 2020, about 6,000m3 of high density MagnaDense concrete is used for building the ITER research facility in Southern France.

Application

Bed Material

We have boiler bed material products available to alleviate problems such as build ups of slag, bed freezing and bed agglomeration.

Application

Renewable energy

Wind, wave, tidal, geothermal and solar renewable energy projects all benefit from the use of magnetite for ballasting, gravity bases, anchors, boreholes and heat storage.

Application

Concrete anchoring

To increase weight, MagnaDense is added to produce high density concrete sea anchors that will keep your subsea installations in place.

Application

Concrete weight coating

MagnaDense aggregate in concrete weight coating (CWC) for pipelines increases negative buoyancy and gives mechanical protection against sea motions.

Application

Heat storage

Magnetite has proven to be the ideal mineral for energy storage. We produce our Magnetite from natural iron ore. It has a great package of thermophysical properties.

Application

Offshore ballasting

High-density MagnaDense aggregate provides weight for offshore constructions ensuring a stable foundation to withstand the motions of the sea.

Application

Offshore wind structures

Keep your offshore wind turbine constructions floating or ballasted to the seabed using heavyweight MagnaDense natural minerals.

Application

Wave and tidal power ballast

You can use MagnaDense either as loose ballast or in high density concrete to provide a stable foundation to ballast wave power generators and tidal turbines to the seabed.

Application

Bridging agent for drilling mud

Adding calcium carbonate – Fordacal – to drilling fluid supports control of the fluid amount entering the drilled rock formation.
