Figure 14.1 shows a process diagram with three boxes of text with an arrow above each box to illustrate which processes come first and how long the duration is. The first box is labelled “EfW Heat Recovery Opportunity” and the arrow extends across all three boxes which means that this item lasts the duration of the process. Inside the box there are four tasks which read “Identify EfW operator”, “Identify EfW's peak electricity and heat production”, “Undertake detailed feasibility study”, and “Negotiate heat-supply agreements with EfW as well as identified heat consumers”. The second box is labelled “District Energy Network Design and Construction” and the arrow for this item extends from the second box to the end of the third (and last) box. This means that this item begins after the first but extends for the duration of the remaining process. Inside the box there are two tasks which read “Commence design of district energy network and energy centre within the EfW”, and “Tender and procurement of district energy network”. The third and final box is labelled “Completion of District Energy Network” and the arrow for this box is only illustrated over this item which means that it is the last item to take place in the process. Inside the box there are four tasks which read “District energy network completed and ready for connection”, “Network to build connections to be commissioned”, “Onsite connections and equipment commissioned”, and “Testing and commissioning programme in-line with required construction programme and operational date”.
