X-Calibur to present at Hong Kong PolyU Seminar on Concrete Damage Assessments, Concrete Repair and Concrete Mix Technology
January 2010
Brian Davies of X-Calibur International is to present a paper titled Use of Vapour Phase Corrosion Inhibitor Capsules for Long Term Protection of Repaired Reinforced Concrete Structures. The paper is being presented on behalf of XQ International Limited, an X-Calibur Group company that recently acquired QED Chemicals Limited, the UK`s leading manufacturer of corrosion inhibitors for use in reinforced concrete structures.
The paper describes a unique method for the delivery of migrating corrosion inhibitors is presented in this paper. Testing and site trials carried out showed that the inhibitor can move freely along the steel reinforcement/concrete interface and form a passivated protective coating on the steel surface. Inspection of reinforced concrete structures that were protected using this type of inhibitor several years after repair has indicated that long term protection is provided.
The seminar is hosted by Hong Kong Polytechnic University at the Chiang Chen Studio Theatre, Hung Hom, Kowloon on 3rd February 2010 and has been organised by the Hong Kong Concrete Institute in conjunction with The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (Building Division), Hong Kong Concrete Repair Association, and Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

X-Calibur International Contributes to Concern Universal's Fuel Efficient for Schools Program in Kenya
January 2010
People in the Kajiado district of Kenya suffer from frequent droughts and food shortages. A government school feeding programme operates most days. Food is cooked on open fires, and as it's a deforested area, each child has to bring a piece of wood to school every morning. Installing a more fuel-efficient stove at a school, uses much less wood to cook the same amount of food. As well as less time (or money) spent getting fuel, food is cooked more quickly and properly, it also becomes possible to cook more nutritious foods that take longer such as beans and pulses. Reducing the amount of wood needed for cooking also helps a community use their local resources more sustainably.
These stoves are using less firewood than the tripod stones which use 5 times more fuel. The use of energy saving stoves has reduced carbon emission due to proper burning coupled with advocacy for use of the right type of fuel (completely dried wood).
Concern Universal has installed a 40 litre energy saving stove funded by X-Calibur International at Primary Boys Boarding School in Kajiado Central District. This stove is going to be of great help to this institution not only in cooking, but also in reducing carbon emissions and cooking time frame.
The stove, even though small has increased the capacity of cooking large quantities of meals for this boarding institution. The stove retains up to 89% of heat therefore cooking with minimal firewood. The stove is made of steel and lined with a thick layer of kiln bricks and fire proof cement which provides for heat retention. The stove indirectly links to Millennium Development Goal -Achieve Universal Primary Education by keeping pupils in school.
Primary Boys Boarding School, the beneficiary of this stove is integrated with physically handicapped and blind pupils among able bodied ones. It has a population of 500 pupils. This facility will ensure that all children are served together rather than in shifts.
The school management and pupils were very excited when the stove was installed. Teachers expressed interest in acquiring smaller capacity energy saving stoves for use in their homes.
