Lone Star Industries, Inc., operates a precalciner kiln in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. In May 1992, the company started burning hazardous waste in the hot end of the kiln as a partial fuel replacement. This paper examines the advantages and disadvantages Lone Star has experienced since it began using hazardous waste as an alternate fuel supply. The use of hazardous waste has produced a number of ancillary benefits and a few hindrances to kiln operations. How each of these aspects has affected kiln operation and performance will be examined. 4 tabs.
