Commercial and Government Trucks line up Commercial and Government Trucks line up to the Weighbridge Scale every day except to the Weighbridge Scale every day except Sundays.Sundays.
A Tipping Fee is charged per ton of refuse dumped at the Tynes Bay Facility
Weigh Scale OfficeWeigh Scale Office
The amount of waste received at Tynes Bay has had a constant annual growth rate of 4.8%
Tipping Hall
The Front-end Loader pushes the Bulky Waste into the Shear to be cut into smaller pieces to feed the Furnaces
Much of the refuse dumped at Tynes Bay is in the form of pallets and other wood which is mixed with the garbage in the bunker.
•Refuse is burned leaving only clinker ash which is mixed with cement and used in land reclamation.
•Heat from the fire is used to generate steam at high pressures. This steam is passed through a turbine coupled to an alternator which generates electricity.

Stack
Electro Static Precipitator
Induction Fan
The ID Fan draws the products of combustion from the furnace through the ESP where most of the particulate matter is removed. These flue gases are then discharged to atmosphere via the stack.

The Chimney Stack is 91 meters high and about 300 feet above sea level.
There is a staircase inside the stack so that you can climb to the top.
The Bunker is 17.5 m deep (57 ft)and can hold 6,000 tons or about 4 weeks of garbage.
The refuse crane can lift up to 5.8 tons
We can burn 288 tonnes in one day or 12 tonnes per hour (approximately 4 full garbage trucks)
It takes about one hour for the complete incineration process to take place from the bunker to the quench tank.
•Sea water is drawn from the ocean where it is treated with chlorine to remove bug and plant growth in the pipes.
•Chlorine is made in our Electro-chlorination chlorination plant.
The sea water is also screened before entering the suction bay of theSea-water Pumps. The water is pumped to the condensers and is thenreturned to the ocean a few degrees warmer.
Sea Water condenses the steam in the “Dump Condenser” and the “Turbine Condenser” The condensate is fed back to the boilers.
