	The facility is based around a water-cooled [[Rotary Kiln\|rotary kiln]] which rotates at between one and six revolutions per hour, giving a waste residence time of between 30 and 90 minutes at a temperature of up to 1200°C. The slag that is produced, a form of [[IBA]], flows to a water quench system to produce a inert, glass-like solid.

	==Summary==		==Summary==
			The largest [[High Temperature and Clinical Waste Incineration\|High Temperature Incinerator]] site in the UK, [[Veolia]]'s [[Ellesmere Port Incinerator]] is a [[Rotary Kiln\|rotary kiln]] designed to [[treatment\|treat]] [[Hazardous Waste\|hazardous waste]] and low level [[radioactive waste]], and is one of the most advanced in Europe<ref name="Ref1" />

	==Plant Description==		==Plant Description<ref name="Ref1" />==
	===Waste Reception & Storage===		===Waste Reception & Storage===
			The facility operates a waste acceptance process which involves checking, sampling and [[wikipedia:Barcode\|computerised bar]] coding to ensure waste consignments are traceable through the [[disposal]] process. The site has 2,000m³ covered storage area for packaged waste that is ready for [[Incineration\|incineration]]. The facility is [[Environmental Permit\|permitted]] to receive up to 100,000 tonnes per annum, although the annual report to the [[EA]] by [[Veolia]] indicates the actual tonnage received is lower than that permitted.
			===Shredder===
	===~~Energy Recovery~~===		The plant has a specialist [[wikipedia:Industrial shredder\|shredder]] which is fully enclosed process to contain the material being processed. The process reduces the size of [[wikipedia:Polypropylene drum\|drums]], [[wikipedia:Intermediate bulk container\|IBCs]] and [[wikipedia:Flexible intermediate bulk container\|bulk bags]] to a paste, which is then sent to the [[Rotary Kiln\|rotary kiln]] via a mixer and pump system.
			===Rotary Kiln===
			The facility is based around a water-cooled [[Rotary Kiln\|rotary kiln]] which rotates at between one and six revolutions per hour, giving a waste residence time of between 30 and 90 minutes at a temperature of up to 1200°C. The slag that is produced, a form of [[IBA]], flows to a water quench system to produce a inert, glass-like solid.
			===Secondary Combustion Chamber===
			Exhaust gases from the [[Rotary Kiln\|rotary kiln]] pass into the Secondary [[Combustion\|combustion]] Chamber, where [[liquid waste] and oxygen is added to create a vortex. Residence time is in excess of 2 seconds, and temperatures of up to 1200°C are achieved to manage waste destruction.
			===Gas Cleaning and Scrubbing===
			Gases from the Secondary Combustion Chamber pass into a pair of gas heat exchangers, reducing the temperature to around 800°C, followed by quenching to 80°C to minimise the production of [[wikipedia:Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds\|dioxins]].
	===Gas Cleaning===		===Gas Cleaning===
			Gases from the from the process pass through two [[wikipedia:Flue-gas desulfurization\|scrubbing towers]] to remove [[wikipedia:Hydrochloric acid\|hydrochloric acid]], [[wikipedia:Sulfur dioxide\|oxides of sulphur]], [[wikipedia:Bromine\|bromine]] and some inert particulates. The gases then pass through a filter fabric. [[wikipedia:Calcium oxide\|Lime]] is added to aid the filtration and the final particulates and residual acidity are removed.
