High Temperature Incineration minimises that environmental impacts of disposing of your waste as it diverts waste from landfill, and the heat that is generated during the incineration process is used to power a steam turbine which generates electricity.

Incinerate

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.

All waste is weighed on arrival at the High Temperature Incinerator, providing our customers and the Environment Agency with accurate reporting statistics.

Our commitment and pioneering approach to providing our customers with an industry-leading range of environmentally friendly treatment and disposal options led us to build the UK’s first High Temperature Incinerator for clinical and hazardous wastes in 1990.

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.

When providing secure treatment and disposal options for clinical waste, our High Temperature Incinerator complements our Alternative Treatment facility, which is located nearby in Maidenhead. The combination of these two treatment options provides us with a reserved contingency capacity for any periods for maintenance shut downs or either facility, which allows us to provide security and continuity of service for our customers.

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.

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 electricity.

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.
