Cemfuel
Cemfuel is a solvent-based cement kiln fuel that is produced from, amongst other wastes, the residues of solvent recycling that otherwise would need to be disposed of by incineration. Its production therefore increases the viability of solvent recycling.
SRM produces the fuel from waste organic materials that cannot be recovered by traditional solvent refining techniques. Residues left from producing clean solvents for re-use are also incorporated in Cemfuel. These materials are carefully processed and blended to a strict specification before they are ready for use in the cement industry as a partial replacement for coal in the firing of its kilns. All organic materials in the fuel are completely and safely destroyed in the very high temperatures – over 1,450 degrees Celsius - and relatively long residence times obtained in a cement kiln.
Benefits of Cemfuel include:
- providing a net saving in carbon dioxide emissions from the cement industry
- reducing the use of fossil fuels
- recovering energy from organic wastes.
