==Summary==

[[Clinical Waste Incinerator]] operated by Stericycle (SRCL) Ltd and located at the Royal Oldham Hospital. The plant consists of a single stream, rated at 850 kilograms per hour or 7446 tonnes per annum of solid wastes<ref name="SRCL">Annual Performance Report 2020 for SRCL Oldham Clinical Waste Incinerator</ref>. The plant consists of a single stream, rated at 850 kilograms per hour or 7446 tonnes per annum of solid wastes. The Primary Chamber operates the [[Rotary ~~kiln~~|rotary kiln]] design to provide good mixing of the waste coupled to sufficient retention time to burn the wastes to a high quality ash<ref name="SRCL" />.

The combustion gases produced in the Primary Chamber then pass into the Secondary Chamber, which operates at a minimum temperature of 850°C during start-up using [[Non-Hazardous Waste]]; and at a minimum temperature of 1000°C when [[Hazardous Waste]] may be loaded<ref name="SRCL" />. The Secondary Chamber provides a minimum of two seconds residence time under oxygen-rich conditions to combust and Carbon Monoxide and volatile organic compounds produced in the Primary Chamber<ref name="SRCL" />.

The hot gases then pass through a boiler and dilution air system, which reduce the temperature from above 1000°C to around 160°C, before the gases pass on to the flue gas treatment (FGT) system<ref name="SRCL" />.
