The Leeds incinerator consists of two streams, known as the East and West streams, each with a nominal throughput of one tonne of clinical waste per hour. The permit sets an annual throughput limit of 8500 tonnes on each stream, with lower limits on specific waste types. The two streams are independent of each other, so that one stream can still be operated while the other stream is shut down for maintenance. | The Leeds incinerator consists of two streams, known as the East and West streams, each with a nominal throughput of one tonne of clinical waste per hour.
