MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631043545 A) filed by Dr. Sudhir Chandra Sur Institute Of Technology And Sports Complex, Kolkata, West Bengal, on April 6, for 'a low-energy blended concrete curing accelerator system using industrial by-products and a method thereof.'

Inventor(s) include Baibaswata Das; Krishnendu Kundu; Souradeep Roy; Debargha Banerjee; and Dr. Saradindu Panda.

The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A low-energy curing system for blended concrete uses a processed industrial by-product as an internal accelerator. The system has a concrete mix that includes cement, supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) like fly ash, and a certain amount of a finely ground, non-chloride industrial by-product (like ceramic waste powder). When this accelerator is mixed with water, it creates controlled internal heat and also controls moisture. This speeds up the development of strength at an early age without the need for external steam or thermal curing. Compared to steam curing, the method uses more than 95% less energy, takes less time, costs less, and makes use of waste. This makes it perfect for precast manufacturing and construction sites with limited resources."
