Frequent asked questions: Cement Industry
Which measures at a cement plant can provide confidence of its daily operation to the neighborhood community?
With the control of the waste input, continuous monitoring of the most important emission parameters, adequate operational controls and a
regular and transparent reporting to the authorities the basis for trust to the neighborhood communities can be built up. Information of
the emission and quality of waste input should also be made available to the community in the framework of a comprehensive stakeholder engagement program.
How does the cement industry protect residents and employees from potential risks associated with Co-Processing?
On the basis of an occupational health & safety system all required preventive measures such as operational control and monitoring will be taken
to minimize the potential risk for the employees and the residents.
Does Co-Processing adversely affect a cement plant's atmospheric emissions?
The use of AFR doesn't affect negatively the quality of the emissions of a cement kiln stack if some basic rules
are observed such as selection of correct feed points and control/limitation of the input of volatile metals. This
applies for non-hazardous as well as for hazardous waste.
