~~Detail~~ to ~~be added~~

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]].

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]].
