==Summary==

The [[Clinical Waste Incinerator]] is located at the [[Hillingdon Hospital]] and is operated by [[Stericycle]] ([[SRCL]]) Ltd. The plant consists of a single stream process, rated at 1,000 kg per hour<ref name="SRCL">Annual Performance Report 2019, SRCL Ltd</ref> equivalent to 8,000 tonnes per annum of solid wastes. The Primary Chamber operates a conventional combustion [[grate|pulse hearth]] design with sufficient retention time to burn the wastes to a high quality ash<ref name="SRCL" />.

==Plant==

Waste is loaded mechanically into the Primary Chamber using a hydraulic lift and tip arrangement, to avoid any manual handling of the waste<ref name="SRCL" />. The [[combustion]] process flue gas from the Primary Chamber then passes to the Secondary Chamber to produce [[IBA|bottom ash]]<ref name="SRCL" />. The [[IBA|bottom ash]] is discharged into a ash quench pit, and from the ash quench pit it is discharged into storage skips.

The Secondary Chamber is operated under oxygen-rich conditions to combust any [[wikipedia:Carbon monoxide|Carbon Monoxide]] and [[wikipedia:Volatile organic compound|volatile organic compounds]] produced in the Primary Chamber<ref name="SRCL" />.

The hot gases then pass through a [[wikipedia:Boiler (power generation)|boiler]] and dilution air system, before the gases pass on to the [[wikipedia:Scrubber|flue gas treatment]] system<ref name="SRCL" />.
