Summary
The plant at Stoneybridge Park is a High Temperature Incineration facility which incinerates hazardous & non-hazardous wastes from hospitals, healthcare premises and other establishments in the South West. The plant is licensed to operate 24/7 with a maximum throughput of 650kg/hr[1].
Plant
The plant is of a Rotary Kiln design which is capable of handling a wide range of 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 bicarbonate soda and Activated carbon is injected to neutralise acid gasses[1]. The sorbents are then captured on ceramic filter elements, to provide a further reaction surface before being recirculated and then discharged into IBCs for disposal[1]. The cleaned flue gasses pass through the ceramic filters to the ID fan and on to the discharge stack[1].
Waste Tonnage, By Origin
The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit YP3934SM, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data was last updated on October 2023. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: 2,994.42t. Where this tonnage exceeds that reported in year of the corresponding annual report, this may be due to the following reasons:
- Tonnage may have been received but not incinerated, i.e. the material is held pending incineration (the operator return to the EA reports as received whereas the annual report focuses on when the waste is incinerated.)
- Material may have been received into the site but treated in some other way than incineration.
- Material may have been received on the but transferred out of site for disposal/treatment at another site rather than incineration on the site.
