-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|combustio]]n 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 Hopsitals hot well.

-The facility comprises the whole of the [[Incineration|incineration]] plant and site: waste reception, waste storage, fuel and air supply facilties, boiler, facilities for the treatment of 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.
+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.
