==Waste | ==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. Tunstead started manufacturing clinker in 1966 and up to 2015 had produced 17.3 million tonnes of clinker through 2 rotary kilns over this period. Tunstead is also the largest UK site for the supply of lime and lime-based products, which has been undertaken since 1929<ref>[https://www.tarmac.com/tunstead/about/ Tunstead Website]</ref>. | |||
==Ownership== | |||
* 1929 to 1992 ICI | |||
* 1992 to 2013 Anglo American (Buxton Lime Industries, then Tarmac) | |||
* 2013 to 2015 Lafarge Tarmac | |||
* 2015 to Present [[CRH plc]] (owners of [[Tarmac]]) | |||
==The Process at Tunstead== | |||
The process at the site is similar to that at [[Cauldon]] - a dry process from kiln supplier FLS. | |||
==Raw Materials== | |||
The primary raw materials are Carboniferous Limestone. Tunstead Quarry and Old Moor Quarry service the site. | |||
==Waste Used on Site== | |||
There is no waste return for the Tunstead site to the [[EA]] available for the most recent year of 2018, but the Tarmac website talks in about using alternative fuels to substitute over 50% of its energy needs with a long term target of 70% focused on tyres and solvents/liquid fuels<ref>[https://www.tarmac.com/tunstead/environment/ Tarmac Website]</ref> and is documented as receiving [[MBM]] from 2013 in the Cement Plants and Kilns in Britain and Ireland. | |||
