 ==Summary==
-[[Clinical Waste Incinerator]] operated by [[Tradebe]] and located adjacent to [[Alexandra Hospital]], Redditch, Warwickshire.
+[[Clinical Waste Incinerator]] operated by [[Tradebe]] Healthcare National Ltd and located adjacent to [[Alexandra Hospital]], Redditch, Worcestershire. It has a [[Environmental Permitting|permitted]] capacity to [[Incineration|incinerate]] approximately 10,000 tonnes of [[Waste|waste]] per annum<ref name="web">[https://www.tradebe.co.uk/clinical-waste-incineration]</ref>. The facility accepts [[Clinical Waste|clinical waste]] from across the local areas including local hospitals, GPs, dentists etc<ref name="web" />.

-Text to follow
+The Installation is a single line [[Incineration|incinerator]] designed to have a capacity to process 1.5 tonnes (maximum) of [[Waste|waste]] an hour (approximately 10,000 tonnes a year).  [[Clinical Waste]] including [[Hazardous Waste|hazardous waste]] is collected and delivered to the site from Hospitals and other generators of [[Clinical Waste|clinical]]/[[Hazardous Waste|hazardous waste]].  The [[Waste|waste]] arrives in wheeled bins ready for loading directly into the feed hopper of the [[Incineration|incinerator]].  Energy is recovered from the [[Combustion|combustion]] gases in the form of steam by a waste heat boiler, steam is produced at a maximum 6,000 Kg/hour and supplied @ 10 bar to the adjoining Hospital.  Steam not required is condensed and put back to the Hospitals 'hot well'.
+The facility comprises the whole of the [[Incineration|incineration]] plant and site: waste reception, waste storage, fuel and air supply facilities, boiler, facilities for the treatment of [[Flue Gas|exhaust gases]], treatment and storage of residues and waste water, stack, devices and systems for controlling [[Incineration|incineration]] operations and the the recording and monitoring of [[incineration|incineration]] conditions.
+After the third stage [[Combustion|combustion]] chamber there is an emergency pressure relief vent, which may operate to prevent dangerous conditions within the plant.  The relief vent has its own discharge [[wikipedia:Chimney|stack]].
+Empty bins are washed on site and the bin washings are discharged to the three-stage interceptor before discharge to sewer.  Also discharged to the interceptor are floor washings, [[wikipedia:Boiler blowdown| blowdown]] from the waste heat boiler and ash quench pit water.
+The incinerator produces approx. 1,200 tonnes of [[Incinerator Bottom Ash|ash]] per annum and 500 tonnes of [[Fly Ash|baghouse dust/spent lime]] per annum.  There are no other significant sources of general solid wastes or special wastes generated.
