Waste Management part 3 (Science and Technology Form 5)



Biomedical Waste Incinerators

Biomedical waste is generated from hospitals and animal houses and mainly consists of:

• Human Anatomical Waste.
• Microbiology & Biotechnology Waste.
• Discarded Medicines & Cytotoxic Drugs.
• Soiled plaster castes, blood soaked cotton,
  beddings etc.
• Wastes from pathological laboratories and
  blood banks.
• Animal wastes & carcasses.

The waste is highly infectious and therefore needs to be carefully disposed off. BLACKHOLE incinerators have following features for complete incineration of biomedical wastes:

• Combustion efficiency of at least 99%.
• Gas residence time of minimum 1.5 seconds in
  the Secondary Combustion Chamber.
• Temperature range of 750 to 850°C and 1000 to
  1100°C in Primary & Secondary Combustion
  Chambers respectively.
Equipment can also be designed and supplied to meet specific requirements of the customers/local pollution control authorities.

Optional accessories like gas scrubbers, continuous emission monitoring & recording systems, automatic waste feeding systems, ash removal systems and heat recovery systems can be supplied on request.
