June 10, 2025 – Big Blue Technologies is pleased to have been featured on a poster presentation by collaborative researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory during the 2025 Concrete and Cement Workshop. NREL and BBT were selected for a sponsored project through the US Department of Energy’s High Performance Computing for Energy Innovation (HPC4EI) program. The project is focused on computational modeling of BBT’s magnesium metal production electric arc smelter and high temperature condenser unit operations. Using experimentally-validated reaction kinetics, thermal profiles, and pressure conditions, the model will be used to aid in the design of a commercial smelter system.
Big Blue Technologies thanks NREL researchers Marc Day (PI), Rajneesh Chaudhary, and Nicholas Deak (pictured below) for their time and effort!
