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.

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]].
