Assessment of feasibility and viability of using cement kiln in<br />

incineration of Hazardous Waste in <strong>Tanzania</strong>.<br />

A feasibility study for assessing the possibility for incineration of<br />

hazardous waste in local cement kilns was done in February 1999<br />

with support of NORAD. The results of this study indicated that<br />

there are possibilities of using Cement kilns in one of the cement<br />

plant after doing some modifications. This demands some funds.<br />

Other necessary legal arrangements need to be in place to facilitate<br />

disposal of such wastes in cement kilns. Cement kiln is a potential<br />

disposal option for future development.<br />

Meanwhile some non-hazardous wastes that demand incineration<br />

such as obsolete human drugs are being incinerated at Wazo Hill<br />

Factory. The company is looking into the possibility of using waste<br />

tyres cashewnuts shells as source of energy.<br />
