===Waste Reception & Storage===

Waste is collected around the site in bins. These are transported to the [[Incineration|incinerator]] where a bin lift loads the waste in to the [[Incineration|incinerator]] by rotating the bins 180 degrees, this ensures all the contents fall out of the bin in to the waste feed hopper. The waste is injected into the [[Incineration|furnace]] by a ram. Once inside the [[combustion]] chamber, rams move the waste through the [[grate]] at approximately ~~900oC~~ thus promoting continuous mixing of the waste with the [[combustion]] air introduced from beneath the [[grate]] into the heart of the fire. In the secondary chamber the gas temperature is maintained above ~~850oC~~ for 2 seconds. [[IBA|Ash]] from the grate is discharged into a bespoke skip.

===Energy Recovery===

Hot gases from the [[combustion]] of waste pass through a waste heat steam boiler. The temperature of the gases are reduced from over ~~850oC~~ to around ~~160oC~~. The gases heat up the water in the boiler and produce steam at 4.5barG. This steam is fed to the site Energy Centre which distributes thermal energy around the site.
