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 [[wikipedia:Sodium bicarbonate|bicarbonate soda]] and [[wikipedia:Activated carbon|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 [[wikipedia:Intermediate bulk container|IBCs]] 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" />. | 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.
