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 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. | ||
