Eden Innovations

Eden Innovations is dedicated to clean technology solutions that make life better and the planet more sustainable. It developed, manufactures, and markets EdenCrete®, a revolutionary high performance concrete admixture and OptiBlend™, a world leading innovative retrofit dual fuel kit developed for diesel generator sets.

Natural processes and structures that have developed over billions of years have a lot to teach us about sustainable innovation. At Eden, we try to study and understand the principles behind these organic dynamics, in order that we can apply them to our new endeavors.  In this way we aim to develop not only solutions that serve us better, but that support the long term sustainability of our planet. By studying deep structural designs found in nature, and applying such insights to real challenges today, we can significantly advance how we build, energize and enhance our world.

• Chemistry doesn’t have to mean toxicity. Eden Innovations utilizes chemical processes that use benign elements, including water, and are conscientiously developed in order to reduce toxicity to the environment.
• Working with available resources, including collaborative relationships, enables us to realize advancements and efficiencies that might otherwise not be attainable. We pass these on to our customers to deliver real value and benefit.
• While we’re committed to approaches proven to be successful, we also understand that innovation is the key to survival. That’s why we’re open to the unexpected and ready to respond to new opportunities as they emerge.
• Innovation is at the core of our growth strategy. Our objective is to continue developing new and sustainable products and solutions that will collectively drive our expansion for decades to come. This we believe is the foundation of our future.
• We are highly conscious of pursuing proficient resource use, including low energy, environmentally sustainable processes, in order to create truly revolutionary products that maximize efficient material usage. This benefits our customers as well as the planet as whole.
• As a business, we are committed to responding to the most current global conditions and market needs in order to deliver innovations that truly impact our customers and our world for the better.

Our Innovations

EdenCrete® is a carbon nanotube enriched admixture for concrete that significantly improves tensile and flexural strength without compromise to compressive strength, permeability, or corrosion resistance. This results in greater bearing capacity for applications such as slabs on grade, columns or footings, improved resistance to abrasive wear and significantly reduced shrinkage. All in a cost effective manner, and without undesirable interactions with admixtures already in the mix. When added to concrete mixtures, EdenCrete® carbon nanotubes fill in spaces at the nanoscopic level between the hydrated cement particles. When concrete dries, instead of leaving porous openings that would allow water to penetrate or cracks to develop, these nanotubes create millions of flexible, strong carbon bridges throughout the structure. These carbon bridges greatly improve resistance to failure caused by bending stresses, resulting in greater resistance to abrasive wear and crack propagation. In fact, not only does EdenCrete® make concrete stronger, we believe it can also increase concrete longevity beyond traditional expectations.

OptiBlend™ Proprietary Air-Gas Mixer Design and Fuel Control Valve Natural

Gas is delivered to the combustion chamber using the existing air intake system. The OptiBlend™ proprietary Air-Gas Mixer (AGM) (far-right) is installed just downstream of the stock air filter where it dictates the air-to-gas ratio in conjunction with the OptiBlend™ Fuel Control Valve (FCV)(left). The mixer uses the Venturi effect to draw gas into the engine. The fuel control valve has a 10-20 millisecond reaction time, allowing immediate throttle adjustment in response to changes in engine load. The fuel control valve utilizes internal software with fault detection and position control and is controlled by the Programmable Logic Control (PLC). Each OptiBlend™ kit is custom fit and commissioned for your specific engine and application.

Pyrolysis Project

Carbon Nanotube & Carbon Nanofibre and Hydrogen production from natural gas without producing carbon dioxide. Through the pyrolysis process, developed by Eden with the University of Queensland and which Eden now owns 100%, and has been commercialised in Colorado, USA at Eden innovations LLC facility, methane (natural gas) is broken down into its constituents of hydrogen gas and carbon, without the production of carbon dioxide. The carbon is produced as a solid as either carbon nanofibres or carbon nanotubes that each are many times stronger, in certain applications, than steel, whilst each also has a great a capacity to conduct both electricity and heat

The Process

• Appears, from information available, to be relatively efficient when compared with other methods of production of carbon nanotubes and fibres, requiring only a relatively low level of energy and lower cost capital equipment compared with most other published methods;
• Employs relatively low cost catalysts (no precious metals are used in the catalysts);
• Low carbon footprint
• Produces only hydrogen together with either carbon nanotubes or solid carbon fibres from natural gas.
• Applications:
• Concrete (lead to the development of EdenCrete™)
• Carbon composite materials including plastics and polymers for many purposes including the automobile industry and aerospace industry;
• Conductive coatings;
• Packaging materials;
• Use in batteries and electrical storage; and Low-cost hydrogen production without the production of carbon dioxide as a by-product that could help facilitate the more rapid spread of both hydrogen as a vehicle fuel and also Eden’s Hythane™ technology as an ultra-clean, highly efficient premium blend of hydrogen and natural gas that it is marketing in India and USA.
