Cement Kilns: Difference between revisions

In the table above the [[EWC]] code for the waste is shown as well as the description - [[Hazardous Waste]] is signified by entries where the six-digit [[EWC]] code is marked by an asterisk (*). Note that the two codes [[EWCChap19|19 12 10]] (generally [[SRF]] and also called [[Climafuel]] by [[Cemex]]) and [[EWCChap19|19 12 12]] (generally [[RDF]], but can be used to describe 'process fines' by some operators) which together account for 318,595 tonnes (or 42% of the tonnage recorded) and comes primarily from the processing of [[Residual Waste]]. The other primary codes used as fuel are [[EWCChap19|19 02 08*]] (the solvent based fuels often known as [[Cemfuel]]) and [[EWCChap16|16 01 03]] (waste tyres) which together account for 153,474 tonnes (or 20% of the tonnage recorded) meaning that of the 753,783 tonnes recorded in 2018, 62% were from 4 waste types that all were used as fuel in the cement process. Tonnage of [[MBM]] and [[Wood Waste]], which may have been higher in previous years are not shown to be so high in 2018, as alternative [[Biomass Waste EFW]] plants have been developed for them that have competed with the cement kilns.
