This kind of hazardous waste is a real threat for all
those who work in contact with it. The threat lies in the possibility of the
infection to break out of medical facility.
Different waste
- one solution
There are thermal destruction plants of any capacity in
the range of offered solutions for medical facilities.
Any type of
medical hazardous waste destruction
There was developed a solution for healthcare and
veterinary facilities needs. It is transportable Medical hazardous waste destruction plant. The whole set is
mounted in standard 20 feet (6 m) container and does not require any housing.
Thermal waste destruction allows utilization of wastes
partly except class 4 and 7 directly on the medical facility territory, such
as:
- Biowaste
- Injection instruments and sharps
- Binding and hygiene materials
- Medical care items
- Pharmaceuticals and diagnostic items
The present technology is fully compatible with all
existing regulations.
Thermal destruction eliminates or simplifies all
operations connected with hazardous
medical waste temporary storage and
transportation. The total volume of the waste transported from the medical
facility is drastically reduced at the same time.
The present plant is NOT designed for the radioactive
waste destruction.
Hard to choose?
There are two main principles and corresponding technologies
of the medical waste handling today - high temperature thermal destruction and
mechanical destruction with sterilization. Let us compare both technologies by
their features.

THERMAL
DESTRUCTION

MECHANICAL
DESTRUCTION WITH STERILIZATION
|
|
Russian made
|
Imported
|
|
Hyper thermal (1200° С) treatment ensures destruction of
all kind bacteria or hazardous components
|
Some germs survive when exposed to high temperatures (160°
С ) for short period of time
|
|
Low requirements of personnel qualification
|
Highly qualified personnel is needed
|
|
Flue gas energy recovery allows to implement independent
facility heating system
|
The plant consumes considerable amount of energy and good
quality water
|
|
No need for sewage
|
Sewage usage increases
|
|
Conforms to MPC thanks to multistage gas purification and
custom design of waste gas flue
|
Hazardous chlorine- containing contaminants filtration
system requires continuous monitoring. Emission of such gases at the window
level increases the possibility of personnel intoxication.
