displacement from waste sources. Cement Australia*, Railton, TAS Cement kiln 1 million tpa Currently the facility treats between about 25,000 tonnes per annum of hazardous waste in part prepared by Geocycle in Victoria. Mostly Tasmania and waste streams from Australia’s east coast. The facility can potentially a significant increase in the volume of hazardous waste and has identified SPL, hazardous soils, pharmaceuticals, fuel products, solvent-based waste and AQIS waste as potential waste streams. Other hazardous waste streams may be potentially treated in this facility. Current thermal energy replacement from waste is about 12%. Cement Australia has indicated similar The facility can treat significant additional quantities of hazardous waste with minimal modifications. Modifications are likely to be in feed systems and waste handling and review/ evaluation of thermal displacement on kiln performance and air emissions. Licensing changes are also likely to be required. Depending on the scale and feasibility of changes, this could be undertaken in relatively short time frames. Cement Australia has expressed interest in optimising facilities to take significant additional volumes of hazardous waste that meet the kiln operating requirements. Further evaluation of waste streams and feasibility of modifications should be considered.
