| [[Healthcare Waste]] [[Incineration|incinerators]] are required to meet the temperature and emission limits contained within the [[Industrial Emissions Directive]] in much the same way as standard [[Energy from Waste]]/[[Energy Recovery Facility|Energy Recovery Facilities]]. Generally they have a primary combustion chamber operating at 800 - 1000°C and a secondary chamber that operates at a minimum temerature of 1100°C, with a retention time for the combustion gases of two seconds<ref name="Health">[https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/167976/HTM_07-01_Final.pdf/ 07_01_HTM Safe Management of Healthcare Waste]</ref>.

| The [[Incineration|incineration]] plant also includes gas cleaning equipment to reduce emissions to air<ref name="Health" />.this equipment deals with compounds such as hydrogen chloride, and sulphur dioxide, which form asa result of chlorine and sulphur compounds present int he original [[Healthcare Waste|waste]] material<ref name="Health" />.
