Waste Acceptance

BURSA CEMENT WASTE ACCEPTANCE & USAGE

Our Company, which obtained the Waste Oil Supplemental Fuel License in 2005 for the prevention of the negative and environmental effects of the waste oil generated in Bursa and its surroundings and for the recovery of energy as energy, expanded the scope of the license in 2008 and added contaminated waste and paint sludge to the waste incineration menu. Thus, wastes that have lost their economic value and have a certain calorific value formed in various industrial sectors are evaluated as an alternative fuel besides the main fuel and used for energy recovery.

Bursa Cement Factory Inc. using alternative fuels and raw materials;

- Taking measures against global warming by reducing CO₂ emissions,

- Conservation of natural resources is ensured,

- It saves the Turkish Economy from the need for high investment costs of waste incineration plants,

- It ensures the disposal of wastes under appropriate conditions and eliminates the negative environmental effects,

- It creates added value to the country's economy by ensuring the recovery of wastes to the economy.

Our company; T.R. It has won various awards in recent years in the project competition for the efficient use of energy in industrial facilities organized by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources.

Alternative Raw Material Use

Our factory has been saving the use of semi-finished clinker with the use of trass (natural pozzolan) for about 30 years and has been producing the clinker/cement factor at a rate of 70-75% from the 80s to the present. This ratio cannot be met by many factories of the European cement industry. In addition to the use of trass, the fly ash retained by the electro filters used for dedusting the combustion gases of thermal power plants is used as an additive in cement production according to the TS EN 197-1 standard.

Use of Alternative Fuel (Waste)

The issue of using alternative fuels for the purpose of energy and material recovery, which has been applied in the cement sectors of developed countries for many years, was initiated in our sector with the "Communiqué on the General Rules to be Followed in the Use of Wastes as Alternative or Additional Fuel in Cement Factories" published in our country in 2001.

Our factory, which started to use waste oils as additional fuel in 2005, continues its activities with the Environmental Permit and License Certificate obtained from the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization in 2014.

Wastes that have lost their economic value and have certain calorific value formed in various industrial sectors are used as an alternative fuel besides the main fuel. Cement factory rotary kilns are operated at high temperatures of approximately 1400-1450 C° as a requirement of the process. Therefore, the wastes can be easily broken down into final combustion gases such as CO₂, H₂O and NOx, and the ash formed as a result of combustion can be attached to the product body without any effect on the cement quality. Due to the specified characteristics of the cement process, wastes have been used for energy recovery in the cement sectors of other developed countries such as Japan, EU and USA for many years.
