Doc (Pt. 2) Form: IED-DD-02 V 1 Page no: 2 of 34 Permit (Application) Number: Applicant: 1 NON TECHNICAL SUMMARY OF DETERMINATION PPC requires that where the draft determination of an application or a SEPA initiated variation is to be subject to public consultation (this is usually referred to as PPD consultation) the decision document will contain a non technical summary of the determination. There is no need to have a non technical summary if the application is not subject to PPD Will the draft determination/proposed SEPA initiated variation be subject to public consultation? Yes An application has been made by Tradebe Healthcare National Limited (THNL) for a clinical waste storage, transfer and treatment installation at Building 2, 100 Inchinnan Road, Bellshill, Glasgow. THNL have recently been awarded a contract with NHS Scotland to collect, transport, treat and dispose of healthcare waste from 18 NHS Health Boards in Scotland. In order to satisfy the requirements of this contract THNL require a waste treatment facility in Scotland to handle the waste. The Bellshill site will manage clinical waste disposal in Scotland primarily for waste produced by NHS Scotland (NHSS) trusts, but could also include waste arising from private hospitals, pharmacies, care homes, beauticians and veterinary practices. The waste will be brought back to the site where, depending on waste type, it will be either bulked up and sent off site for incineration or disposal at landfill or treated on site via a shredder, steam auger and drier, before compaction. The objective of the waste treatment process proposed for Bellshill is to disinfect clinical waste with heat to render it safe and unrecognisable, and to produce a waste floc that meets a specification suitable for use in an Energy from Waste Plant. It is proposed that the installation will handle 24, 900 tonnes of waste per annum. The applicant has applied for a new PPC permit to carry out the following activities at the site: Hazardous waste transfer; Treatment of clinical waste using thermal screw auger(s); The waste treatment process will be supported by natural gas powered boilers to provide heat to generate steam, natural gas burners to provide warm air for the drier (indirect heating), enclosed automatic bin washers and a vehicle washdown area. The vast majority of waste received is typically classified as solid as although there is the potential for a small amount of liquid within the waste, the amount of absorbent and other dry waste in the waste stream results in the waste being solid. Any liquid wastes received at the site will be stored in containers within a bunded area. Different liquid wastes will be kept segregated to ensure there is no cross contamination with other wastes accepted at the site. All waste accepted at site will be inspected, weighed and documentation checked to ensure it is permitted for acceptance. Waste for treatment will be tipped into a shredder hopper fitted with an extraction hood and will be maintained under negative pressure to ensure all airborne pathogens are contained and filtered. Once shredded the waste will then pass through a screen into the thermal screw auger. The thermal screw system is a continuous feed process consisting of a rotating screw system to treat and transmit the shredded waste. Steam is produced by the boilers and is injected into the steam jacket on the thermal screw auger and via “live” steam injection to disinfect the waste. Steam will be provided at a temperature of 122oC. The thermal screw auger has an air extraction system which maintains a negative pressure and minimizes the potential for diffuse emissions to air from the thermal screw auger system. The residence time in the thermal screw auger system is approx. 80 minutes Permit (Application) Number: PPC/A/1180708 Applicant: Tradebe Healthcare National Ltd which has been determined to be adequate to disinfect the waste to make it microbiologically

  • Completed Acquisition by Tradebe Environmental Services Limited of Avanti Environmental Holdings Limited
    Completed acquisition by Tradebe Environmental Services Limited of Avanti Environmental Holdings Limited Decision on relevant merger situation and substantial lessening of competition ME/6768/18 The CMA’s decision on reference under section 22(1) of the Enterprise Act 2002 given on 25 October 2018. Full text of the decision published on 15 November 2018. Please note that [] indicates figures or text which have been deleted or replaced in ranges at the request of the parties or third parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. SUMMARY 1. On 31 May 2018, Tradebe Environmental Services Limited (Tradebe) acquired Avanti Environmental Holdings Limited (Avanti) (the Merger). Tradebe and Avanti are together referred to as the Parties. 2. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) believes that it is or may be the case that each of Tradebe and Avanti is an enterprise; that these enterprises have ceased to be distinct as a result of the Merger; and that the share of supply test is met. The four-month period for a decision, as extended, has not yet expired. The CMA therefore believes that it is or may be the case that a relevant merger situation has been created. 3. The Parties overlap in the supply of hazardous waste management services in the UK. 4. Hazardous waste management services can be segmented in several possible ways, based, for example, on the different elements of the hazardous waste management process (such as collection, transfer, treatment and disposal) and method used. Both parties supply hazardous waste collection and transfer services and hazardous waste treatment and disposal services, 1 but Avanti is only active in treatment and disposal of hazardous waste through transfrontier shipment (TFS) to other EU countries.

Under the Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2010 (schedule 5, part 1, paragraph 19) a variation may comprise a consolidated permit reflecting the variations and a notice specifying the variations included in that consolidated permit. Schedule 1 of the notice specifies the conditions that have been varied and schedule 2 comprises a consolidated permit which reflects the variations being made. All the conditions of the permit have been varied and are subject to the right of appeal. The permit allows the treatment of clinical waste to render the waste safe and the storage and transfer of hazardous and non-hazardous clinical and healthcare waste. Hazardous and non-hazardous clinical waste is brought to the site in 770 litre bins and treated at the site using a hot oil auger in order to render the clinical waste safe. Once the 770 litre bins have been off-loaded they are stored in designated areas within the site for processing. The waste is then shredded and processed through the heat treatment process. The non- hazardous wastes approved for treatment are used as flock material suitable for Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) once treated.
