The incinerator plant consists of the following major components<ref name="Adden" />: | |||
# [[Incineration|Incinerator]] [[Clinical Waste|waste loading system]]. This consists of two separate loading systems, namely a conveyor in-feed section fed by two self-contained bin loaders and a semi-automatic bin loader (Lodematic) that loads directly into the primary chamber loader box. | |||
#The primary chamber that burns the [[Clinical Waste|waste]]. The chamber is initially gas fired but as the [[Clinical Waste|waste]] volume burned comes up to the required temperature so the volume of gas burned falls away. Primary and under fire air is introduced into the chamber to support [[Combustion|combustion]]. The gaseous product of [[Combustion|combustion]] passes onto the secondary chamber and the [[Incinerator Bottom Ash|ash]] is released into a bin under the chamber. Water is sprayed into the primary chamber to reduce over-temperature. | |||
#A [[Waste|waste]] fuel system allows [[Waste|waste]] fuel to be burnt in the primary chamber. | |||
#A gas fired secondary chamber ensures complete [[Combustion|combustion]] and that the products of [[Combustion|combustion]] reach a temperature greater than 1100°C for 2 seconds with oxygen content of greater than 6%. Secondary air is introduced into the crossover between the primary and secondary chambers. | |||
#[[Incinerator Bottom Ash|Ash]] is released from the primary combustion chamber on a batch wise basis. | |||
#The gas from the secondary chamber passes into the boiler where it is cooled down by producing steam. The steam is either sent to the [[EfW]] plant or the air blast coolers where it is condensed. | |||
#Gas from the boiler passes into the [[Flue Gas|Flue Gas Treatment plant]]. Here the gas is cooled and passed through the reactor, filter units. | |||
#On leaving the treatment plant the [[Flue Gas|flue gas]] is passed through the Induced Draft Fan and then sent to atmosphere via the [[wikipedia:Chimney|stack]]. | |||
#The plant incorporates CEMS (Continuous Emission Monitoring System). | |||
#The plant uses gas, electricity, water, compressed air and hydraulic services. | |||
