The installation is a single incinerator designed to have the capacity to burn 0.8 tonnes of waste an hour (approximately 8000 tonnes a year). [[Clinical Waste]], including [[Hazardous Waste]], is brought to a storage area at the incinerator from local hospitals and other sources such as family practioners and dental surgeries. The waste arrives in wheeled bins, loose loads and palletised loads, which are emptied onto a moving floor system and charged into the incinerator by means of a bin lift and hydraulic ram. The combustions gases are cooled in a waste heat recovery boiler. | |||
The installation covers the whole of the incineration plant and site: this includes waste reception, waste storage, fuel and supply facilities, the boiler, facilities for the treatment of exhaust gases, treatment and storage of residues and waste water, the stack, devices and systems for controlling incineration operations and the recording and monitoring of incineration conditions. | |||
