Plant Description
CliniPower’s facility at Avonmouth currently utilises two methods for the treatment of Hazardous and Healthcare Waste.
The Pyrolysis system, designed in house, is for the incineration/recovery and disposal of all types of healthcare wastes and many hazardous wastes.
The materials are converted into syngas and used to fuel conventional steam power cycle.
Through investment CliniPower are also operating a plant for the treatment of healthcare waste including orange bag materials and offensive wastes which opened in 2018.
Here the waste is pre shredded and then heat treated using an innovative dry heat system. The resulting sterilised material is then rendered safe and is suitable as Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). [2]
