The incineration process carried out by the plant burns mainly [[household Waste]] and [[Commercial Waste]] in two 17 MW thermal input bubbling fluidised bed boilers (which at the time were the first in operation in the UK). The plant generates 10.5 MWe of electrical output with 8.3 MWe exported to the National Grid. The plant is designed to treat 120,000 tonnes of waste per year with each boiler capacble of burning waste at a nominal design rate of 7.6 tonnes/hr per boiler.<ref>https://www2.gov.scot/resource/doc/1069/0005230.pdf</ref>
