UK: Fairport Engineering is working on an alternative fuels storage and feed system for Cemex’s Rugby cement plant. This project underwent feasibility studies in 2018 and 2019. It is now seeking planning permission and final capital sanction. Once obtained the project execution is likely to take place during a future scheduled kiln shutdown period.
Fairport Engineering has worked on various projects at the Rugby plant since 1998. At this time it supported the installation of a new Polysius kiln with the supply of an associated combined raw materials store. Later it worked on the design and management of a new filter installation in 2006 to support tighter emissions regulations associated with alternative fuels such as a tyre chip and refuse-derived fuel (RDF).
