Overview

WikiWaste has used the website Cement Plants and Kilns in Britain and Ireland[1] extensively for the reference material for each individual cement kiln page. The detail on this reference website is extensive and as WikiWaste is focused upon the UK waste and resource market, only the key highlights are captured from this website (and company websites accordingly) to provide background and context. Tunstead started manufacturing clinker in 1966 and up to 2015 had produced 17.3 million tonnes of clinker through 2 rotary kilns over this period. Tunstead is also the largest UK site for the supply of lime and lime-based products, which has been undertaken since 1929[2].

Ownership

  • 1929 to 1992 ICI
  • 1992 to 2013 Anglo American (Buxton Lime Industries, then Tarmac)
  • 2013 to 2015 Lafarge Tarmac
  • 2015 to Present CRH plc (owners of Tarmac)

The Process at Tunstead

The process at the site is similar to that at Cauldon - a 'dry process' from kiln supplier FLS (FLSmidth).

Raw Materials

The primary raw materials are Carboniferous Limestone. Tunstead Quarry and Old Moor Quarry service the site. The query SELECT "updated" FROM "db_ea"."ea_desc_in" WHERE epr='XP3532DP' LIMIT 1 is invalid (Error : SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected

Function: EDConnectorRdbms::fetch Query: SELECT "updated" FROM "db_ea"."ea_desc_in" WHERE epr='XP3532DP' LIMIT 1 ).Error: Could not connect to database (Cannot access the database: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: connection to server at "10.106.0.2", port 5432 failed: FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode).Error: Could not connect to database (Cannot access the database: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: connection to server at "10.106.0.2", port 5432 failed: FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode).

Waste Tonnage, EWC List

The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit XP3532DP, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data used is the most current. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: Expression error: Unexpected < operator.t.

EWC Code Description Tonnes In


The query SELECT "ewc","origin","tin" FROM "db_ea"."ea_ew_in" WHERE epr='XP3532DP' is invalid (Error : SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected

Function: EDConnectorRdbms::fetch Query: SELECT "ewc","origin","tin" FROM "db_ea"."ea_ew_in" WHERE epr='XP3532DP' ).

Waste Tonnage, By Origin

The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit XP3532DP, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data was last updated on October 2024. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: 176,832.59t.

Where this tonnage exceeds that reported in year of the corresponding annual report, this may be due to the following reasons:

  • Tonnage may have been received but not incinerated, i.e. the material is held pending incineration (the operator return to the EA reports as received whereas the annual report focuses on when the waste is incinerated.)
  • Material may have been received into the site but treated in some other way than incineration.
  • Material may have been received on the but transferred out of site for disposal/treatment at another site rather than incineration on the site.
