In December 2020, [[Veolia]] announced plans to alter the [[Environmental Permit]] of the site which now allows the plant to accept a maximum of 10,000 tonnes a year of 'orange bagged' [[Healthcare Waste|healthcare waste]]<ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/veolia-says-efw-pivotal-for-clinical-waste/ Lets recycle]</ref>.

The combustion system is a Martin GmbH Reciprocating Grate with 5 rows and 13 steps with a single line, and the plant utilises a CNIM 4 Pass Vertical Boiler with Radiant Superheaters. The average [[Net Calorific Value]] (NCV) of the feedstock is 9.210 kJ/kg<ref>Veolia, 2007.

==Local Authority Users==
 
The following data comes from [[WasteDataFlow]] for the financial year 2018/19 and represents those local authorities recorded as putting tonnage into the site (either directly or via a transfer station). The tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the [[EA]] statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018). A 'zero return' below indicates no local authority tonnage was recorded, most likely a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage. Equally, lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of either a new plant being in 'ramp up' towards full capacity after construction, or may be a result of plant shut down and subsequent re-start in a year.
