<p>Added some thoughts of mine</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>My main question would be [[Permitting]] / [[Zoning]] as well as [[OSHA]] / [[MSHA]] stuff etc<br /> <br /> Not impossible to do, but may want to hire a relevant lawyer to get those types of questions answered proper early on.<br /> <br /> I know when we do jobs at “Cemex” we have to deal with MSHA stuff (short of MAYBE Batch Plants?, the one with the Crushers + Washplants etc are all intense on all that.<br /> <br /> Then if doing it at FeF there could MAYBE be zoning issues? For stuff like Building Housing / Machines or Lifetracs etc that sort of “light industry” / maintenance shop stuff blends in pretty well, but might be getting into some issues once you get large scale truck movements + dust emissions etc. SOLVABLE, but something you want to do pre-angry letters/fines etc<br /> <br /> (Even CBI for transporting UMO / Drums of Contaminated Dirt etc has a whole bunch of licenses/paperwork and all that jazz to keep up to date)<br /> <br /> Finally, what’s the Technology Readiness Level]] on [[Electric Rotary Kilns]] etc?<br /> <br /> A conventional Pulverized Coal Combustion]] (or related [[Solid Fuels]] / [[RDF]] or [[Tires]] etc) or Gas Burner based [[Rotary Kiln]] &#039;&#039;while not cheap&#039;&#039; is probably the type of thing that is available off the shelf and a BIT more “plug and play” (short of again permitting/shaking the right hands/having the funds + MAYBE sight specific things like Soil Analysis for Foundations etc)<br /> <br /> Short of maybe Arc Furnaces, Larger Induction Melters/Forges (N/A for cement clinker production etc), or maybe Indirect Hydrogen etc (although this is probably only for the “big fish” and/or may not be for sale in the USA due to not being viewed as “competitive” without [[Carbon Pricing]] etc<br /> <br /> Finally [[Rotary Kiln Waste Heat Utilization]] and [[Rotary Kiln Emissions Control]] / [[Concrete Manufacturing Pollution Control]] would be big things to look into<br /> <br /> Also how much water would be needed and what cost/permits for that would entail (although at least y’all aren’t in a desert or anything!<br /> <br /> All in all pretty neat stuff, but we want to figure out these odd legal/technical bits pre-getting TOO involved in something, or even worse getting fines/bad press etc<br /> <br /> --[[User:Eric|Eric]] ([[User talk:Eric|talk]]) 23:33, 26 April 2026 (UTC)</div>
