==Overview== | |||
WikiWaste has used the website Cement Plants and Kilns in Britain and Ireland<ref>https://www.cementkilns.co.uk/index.html</ref> extensively for the reference material for each individual cement kiln page. The detail on this reference website is extensive and as WikiWaste is focused upon the UK waste and resource market, only the key highlights are captured from this website (and company websites accordingly) to provide background and context. Rugby started manufacturing clinker in 1870 and up to 2015 had produced 33 million tonnes of clinker through 7 rotary kilns over this period. | |||
==Ownership== | |||
* 1870 to 1871 Rugby Blue Lias Lime and Cement Co. Ltd | |||
* 1871 to 1979 Rugby Portland Cement Co. Ltd | |||
* 1979 to 2000 Rugby Group | |||
* 2000 to 2005 RMC | |||
* 2005 to Present [[Cemex]] | |||
==The Process at Rugby== | |||
The process at the site is an air-separated precalciner kiln, supplied by Polysius which allows for the burning of alternative fuels. | |||
==Raw Materials== | |||
The primary raw materials were Blue Lias Limestone from a range of quarries over its life near to the site. More recently the raw materials are chalk from Kensworth Quarry (Dunstable) and clay from Southam Quarry<ref>[http://www.cemexcommunities.co.uk/Userfiles/Documents/Rugby%20Archive/CEMEXRugbyWorksBooklet.pdf Cemex Communities Works Booklet PDF]</ref>. | |||

The large proportion of the [[RDF]]/[[SRF]] used by [[Cemex]] (and named by [[Cemex]] as [[Climafuel]]) is supplied by [[Suez]] from their [[PPP]] contracts with [[Rugby Borough Council|Rugby]] and [[Birmingham City Council|Birmingham]] via [[Malpass Farm]] site. In May 2022 [[Cemex]] announced their intention to operate with 100% alternative fuels<ref>https://www.cemex.co.uk/-/cemex-to-operate-fully-on-alternative-fuels-at-uk-cement-plant</ref>. | |||
