Tarmac installs waste fuel unit at Tunstead plant in the UK
11 October 2019UK: CRH companies Tarmac and Sapphire Energy Recovery have installed a waste-derived fuel processing unit at the Tunstead cement plant in Derbyshire. The unit will produce 'specialised fuel,' a type of solid recovered fuel (SRF) for the cement plant.
"Using waste-derived fuels is well established in the industry but having our own fuel processing plant on site is a first for us. This project from initial concept to actual results, has been a fantastic collaborative experience between Sapphire's commercial, technical, operational and environmental teams, with strong support from the Tarmac kiln and permitting teams,” said David Wilson, Sapphire’s commercial manager. He added that the companies can adjust the blend and amount they use to suit the production process.
