Summary site information collated from a variety of sources.
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. Rugby started manufacturing clinker in 1870 and up to 2015 had produced 33 million tonnes of clinker through 7 rotary kilns over this period.
Ownership

- 1871 to 1979 Rugby Portland Cement Co. Ltd

- 2000 to 2005 RMC
- 2005 to Present Cemex
The Process at Rugby
The process at the site is an air-separated precalciner kiln, supplied by Polysius which allows for the burning of alternative fuels.
Raw Materials
The primary raw materials were Blue Lias Limestone from a range of quarries over its life near to the site. More recently the raw materials are chalk from Kensworth Quarry (Dunstable) and clay from Southam Quarry[2].

Waste Tonnage, EWC List
The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit BL7248IH, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data was last updated in October 2023. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: Expression error: Unexpected < operator.t.

Waste Tonnage, By Origin
The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit BL7248IH, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data used is from the most recent returns. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: Expression error: Unexpected < operator.t.
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.

The large proportion of the RDF/SRF used by Cemex (and named by Cemex as Climafuel) is supplied by Suez from their PPP contracts with Rugby and Birmingham via Malpass Farm site. In May 2022 Cemex announced their intention to operate with 100% alternative fuels[3].
