Necessity is mother of innovation

• What started as waste in world war
  II was reused as fuel for cement manufacture
  in 1990 due to conditions imposed by another
  gulf war for survival
• The effectiveness of burning process- the main
  process in cement manufacture-is determined to a
  critical extend by the available fuels. For
  reasons of cost a variety of fuels have been
  introduced successfully by a Cement Company in
  United Arab Emirates.
• One of the fuel used is a waste product from
  petroleum oil industry, an unprocessed petroleum
  oil fraction which used to be tipped in open air
  sand ponds in Bahrain. The higher fraction of
  crude oil, such as gasoline, kerosene etc, were
  used in 1941 as fuels for vehicles and aircrafts
  in the Second World War. Since that time the
  heavy faction had been stored in sand ponds where
  they have remained for the last 50 years exposed
  to all weathers.
• This is a very thick, viscous, petroleum oil with
  a consistency similar to bituminous material. To
  recover this high sediment petroleum oil it was
  necessary to install preheated equipment in the
  sand ponds to raise the temperature to around
  60-70 degree Celsius. This made the semi-liquid
  petroleum oil pump-able and enabled it to be
  transported to the storage tanks via coarse
  filter.
