Industrial Ecology Concept
Lower
consumption
of natural
resources
Minimum
of rejects
Someone’s waste becomes resources for others
Energetic Surplus = Energy sources
Logistic improvement (supply + collection)…
Minimization of waste disposal capacities
Industrial Ecology is scientific approach which consists of mimicking the low consumption
equilibrium of ecosystems
Inspired by the efficiency of natural ecosystems

Bending the line…
In the traditional manufacturing concept the life of material is a
line which by applying Industrial Ecology we can turn into a cycle.

Co-processing Fundamentals
What is Co-processing?
Thermal or material recovery (or
combination of both) in a cement
manufacturing process generating
no residual waste.
Why do we co-process Waste?
Cost reduction
Reduction of emissions
Environmental protection (sound and safe
disposal solutions for industries and
communities)
Conservation of non-renewable resources
Co-processing in the waste management hierarchy
Co-processing prerequisites
Cement manufacturing process
Raw mix preparation
Burning
Cement grinding
Alternative Raw Materials
Chemical Flexibility of the raw mix
Alternative Fuels
Very High temperature
Long residence time
Gas cleaning inherent to
the process
Additive to
Cement
Fly Ashes
Blast Furnace
Slag
Silica Fumes
A closed cycle process without residual or waste/byproduct.

What can be co-processed?
Lafarge IE Activities in Malaysia
Industrial Ecology in Malaysia
Lafarge Industrial Ecology is locally present COPROCEM
Malaysia which organizes waste management services to the
customers (waste generators) for waste co-processing in cement
kilns of Lafarge Malaysia.
Lean, versatile and agile team from diverse backgrounds
With about 400 kt/y of co-processed waste a leading player in
AFR
Catering to a wide range of customers from sectors such as:
heavy industry (metallurgy, mining, chemical…), light industrial
manufacturing (FMCG, electronics, food…), agriculture or even
government
No customer is a small customer but a responsibility (moral and
financial) for waste generation strictly lies with the waste
generator.
Co-processed waste streams in Malaysia
Agricultural biomass
Industrial biomass
Processed C&D waste
Tires and tire residues
RDF
Bleaching media
Solid non-combustible SW
Semisolid non-combustible SW
Combustible industrial solid waste

Waste Code Examples
SW104 Spent blasting media, dross, PFA
SW204 Metal hydroxide sludge containing heavy metals
SW205 Waste containing calcium sulfate from power plant
or chemical industry
SW207 Sludge containing fluoride
SW313 Spent filter earth
SW320 Phenolic resin waste
DOE approved hazardous waste streams

Information
• Customer’s manufacturing process inquiry
• Waste description (physical, qualitative and quantitative)
• Sampling of waste
Assessment
• Review of chemical analysis and it’s comparison with internal WAC
• Process impact computation
• Technical evaluation with the cement plant
Commercials
• Commercial proposal to the waste generator
• Waste disposal agreement
Permitting
• Approval application at DOE
• Transporter registation
Operation
• Disposal logistics, disposal and billing
• Regulatory compliance (emission monitoring, manifests…)
Standard process for Customer On-boarding
Closing Remark
Cement industry provides an existing
infrastructure for safe, sound and cost
effective disposal of many waste streams.
How can we place this proposition into the
broader framework?
Thank YOU!
