==Summary==

[[Clinical Waste Incinerator]] operated by [[Cambridge University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust]] and located at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge.

==Plant<ref name="Adden">Annual Performance Report 2020</ref>==

The plant comprises 2 lines (A1 and A2) of moving [[grate]] conventional [[combustion]] [[Incineration|incinerators]] each processing up to 0.25 tonnes per hour, or 3,500 tonnes per annum. The two lines heat two boilers, generating steam to provide heating for the hospital site.

The [[Incineration|incinerators]] are served by emissions abatement plant comprising a [[wikipedia:Scrubber|dry reaction tower]] where a blend of powdered [[wikipedia:Sodium bicarbonate|bicarbonate soda]] and [[wikipedia:Activated carbon|activated carbon]] is injected into the exhaust gases to neutralise acids and remove [[wikipedia:Heavy metals|heavy metals]] and [[wikipedia:Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds|dioxins]].

{{~~ClinIncin~~|EPR={{#var:epr}}~~|id=1~~}}

Ceramic filters provide a reaction surface for the absorption and adsorption of acid gases, [[wikipedia:Heavy metals|heavy metals]] and [[wikipedia:Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds|dioxins]] and particulate matter before [[Flue Gas|exhaust gases]] discharge to a 71 metre high [[wikipedia:Chimney|stack]].
