Waste-derived fuel for cement works
Bioenergy specialist Saxlund International has installed and commissioned a new waste-derived fuel plant for Hope Construction Materials at its Hope Works cement plant in Derbyshire, the largest in the UK. The plant has been designed to provide storage, transportation, weighing and injection of Solid Waste Fuel (SWF) to the two kilns at the site.
The goal is to increase the rate at which Hope can replace fossil fuels with waste-derived alternatives to more than 50%.
Matt Drew, Managing Director Saxlund International said: ‘Once fully operational, the new SWF system will run on a 24/7 basis delivering fuel at a rate of up to 5,000 kg per hour to each kiln. It means Hope Works will soon be operating with a significantly larger proportion of waste-derived fuels, in the process diverting up to 80,000 tonnes of bulk solid waste from landfill each year.’
