[[Healthcare Waste|Healthcare wastes]] are loaded mechanically direct from the wheeled bins used to deliver the [[Clinical Waste|waste]], into the hopper which provides the opportunity to visually inspect the [[clinical Waste|waste]] before it is tipped into the [[Incineration|incinerator]] charging hopper. Once inspection is complete, the [[Clinical Waste|waste]] is charged into the [[Incineration|incinerator]] where the [[Combustion|combustion]] process commences. The [[Clinical Waste|waste]] is burnt at a minimum temperature of 850°C, where it burns out to produce an [[Incinerator Bottom Ash|ash]]. The residues are then dropped into an [[Incinerator Bottom Ash|ash]] quench pit at the end of the process before being transferred into a skip. | [[Healthcare Waste|Healthcare wastes]] are loaded mechanically direct from the wheeled bins used to deliver the [[Clinical Waste|waste]], into the hopper which provides the opportunity to visually inspect the [[clinical Waste|waste]] before it is tipped into the [[Incineration|incinerator]] charging hopper.
