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).

UK: N+P says that Subcoal production will start at its Teeside plant in July 2019. Following nearly a year of de-commissioning and site preparation works. The project has achieved financial close and construction work has commenced following nearly a year of de-commissioning and site preparation works. The plant will consume 0.25Mt/yr of commercial and industrial waste feedstock and will produce 0.19Mt/yr of N+P’s Subcoal product. The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor is Fairport Engineering.

The Teeside plant will supply Subcoal pellets to different outlets including Simec Atlantis Energy (SAE) for use in its Uskmouth 220MW coal-fired power station, which is being converted from coal to waste-derived fuel. N+P and SAE have agreed a fuel-supply agreement to supply nearly 1Mt/yr to the power station once it has been converted to using Subcoal in place of coal in 2021. To meet demand for the contract, N+P plans to build a further three Subcoal plants.
