The waste is loaded into the primary [[combustion]] chamber where the main [[combustion]] takes place<ref name="SRCL" />. The flue gases them pass on to a secondary chamber that operates at a minimum temperature of 850°C for burning [[Non-Hazardous Waste|non-hazardous waste]] and in excess of a 1000°C when burning [[Hazardous Waste|hazardous]] pharmaceutical waste. The secondary chamber is kept oxygen rich and is used to provide a two second residence time for the flue gas as they pass through<ref name="SRCL" />.

The heat energy in the flue gas is then used to pass through a [[wikipedia:Boiler (power generation)|boiler]] to produce steam for hot water and heating in the hospital. The flue gas then have [[wikipedia:Activated carbon|activated carbon]] and [[wikipedia:Calcium hydroxide| hydrated lime]] added before being filtered and vented to atmosphere via the [[wikipedia:Chimney|stack]]<ref name="SRCL" />.
