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].
