Having pioneered this technology and through the progression of legislation, we have since updated our facility based in Colnbrook, Berkshire, with our modern High Temperature Incinerator now proving to be of regional and national significance, as well as being a core part of our integrated waste management infrastructure. High Temperature Incineration provides secure destruction and disposal of difficult wastes, ensuring that they are completely destroyed and that they are not released into the wider environment. Our High Temperature Incinerator is suitable for disposing of a variety of hazardous waste, including: Solid hazardous waste (powder, pastes, pills, resins and sludges) Packaged hazardous waste Controlled substances (e.g. drugs and tobacco) Laboratory chemical waste Radioactive waste The High Temperature Incinerator also compliantly disposes of a range of healthcare and clinical waste generated by NHS Trusts, hospitals, doctors’ surgeries, dental practices, nursing and care homes, veterinary surgeries, research facilities, universities and educational institutions, as well as numerous other healthcare related producers. The facility provides a secure disposal route for yellow bagged clinical waste containing highly-infectious materials, sharps bins, cytotoxic or cytostatic waste, pharmaceutical waste and anatomical waste. We also offer witness to destruction for the secure disposal of confidential waste and we will provide you with a certificate of destruction. How does the High Temperature Incineration process work? Waste weighing All waste is weighed on arrival at the High Temperature Incinerator, providing our customers and the Environment Agency with accurate reporting statistics. Waste storage Waste is then either sent direct for incineration or in stored in a secure storage area which has 24 hour CCTV monitoring. Waste incineration Waste is incinerated in the primary combustion chamber where it is burnt for a minimum of six hours, with any gases drawn into the secondary combustion chamber, enabling pharmaceutical or chemical agents to be burnt off at a minimum of 1,110°C, in line with our strict Environment Agency permit. Gas release Emissions regulations are adhered to at all times, with flue gas treated with lime and carbon before being released into the atmosphere. Green energy Not only does High Temperature Incineration divert waste from landfill, but the heat created during the process is exported to our Energy from Waste facility to power a steam turbine which generates green electricity.
