Stoneybridge Clinical Waste Incinerator: Difference between revisions

[[Clinical Waste Incinerator]] operated by Peake GB Ltd and located in StoneyBridge Park, Liskeard, Cornwall.

The plant is of a [[Rotary Kiln]] design which is capable of handling a wide range of [[Waste|wastes]], the waste is fed into the plant by use of a bin tipper and ram loading box. The IBA (bottom ash) is discharged into skips at base of a transition chamber, the flue gases pass on to the secondary chamber then a heat exchanger, where the gasses are cooled before entering the reactor tower & abatement plant where sodium bicarbonate and activated carbon is injected to neutralise acid gasses<ref name="PEAKE" />. The sorbents are then captured on ceramic filter elements, to provide a further reaction surface before being recirculated and then discharged into IBC’s (Intermediate bulk containers) for disposal<ref name="PEAKE" />. The cleaned flue gasses pass through the ceramic filters to the ID fan and on to the discharge stack<ref name="PEAKE" />.
