Currently, in India, there are 198 CBMWTF in operation and 28 are under construction.[Military Camp Usage Comfortable Practical Modular Container House] There is a great need for rapid development of many more CBMWTF to fulfill the need of treatment and disposal of all BMW generated in India. Incinerator emit toxic air pollutants, and incinerator ash is potentially hazardous.

Incinerator and its Hazards

The first solution for the disposal of BMW was to burn the waste. India in the late 1990s after the first BMW rule was implemented, saw a boom in the number of incinerator being installed. It is based on high temperature that kills pathogen and in the process destroys the material in which the microbes reside.[Wax Jar PS Lid Cbd Oil Glass Concentrate Container Clear Cap 7ml 5ml,Trending Fashionable Wool Multi Color Felt Tote Shopping Ladies Handbag] However,Pet Supplies Non-Slip Stainless Steel Dog Drinking Water Food Bowl(PIC) and dioxins.Beauty Salon Anti Aging Omegan LED Light Therapy Machine, waste components dissociate and recombine forming new particles called PIC, which are toxic.Home Decoration Clear Frame with Acrylic Photo Frame. Dioxins are an unintentional by-Manfuacture for Galvanized Wire Mesh Welded Mesh Fence. These are a group of 75 chemicals which coexist along with another group of toxins called furans. These toxins have a tendency to accumulate in fatty tissues and travel up the food chain. Burning of medical devices made up of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the largest dioxin producers in the environment.[Mill Finish Steel Grating Twisted Bar] In addition, metals present in the medical waste act as a catalyst for dioxin formation. These are very toxic, being known carcinogenic,Hot! Steel Hospital Treatment Cart Emergency Trolley for Patient. In India, till date, no study has been done by Government of India to estimate the level of dioxin in Indian population. In 2000, Subramanianet al. have found high level of dioxin in the human breast milk collected from New Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata.[Stationary Type Rock Breaker Boom System] Recently, in January 2017 appreciating the importance of the presence of dioxins in the environment,Factory Price Aluminum/Aluminium Foil in Jumbo Roll for Industry Application.[Pet PE BOPP PVC CPP Film Slitting Machine] Moreover, the incinerator ash is also hazardous and needs to be checked for the level of toxin before being sent to secured landfill. Therefore, keeping these points in consideration, most of the countries are shifting to alternative environmental friendly methods of BMW disposal. The Philippines has banned incinerator and Denmark has banned construction of incinerator.[China Factory Produce Custom Design Printed Absorbent Baby Bib,Handwired Vintage 1969 Jmp PA20 Tube Guitar Amplifier Head 15W]

Alternative Technology for Biomedical Waste Disposal

The various new technologies for BMW disposal are categorized into four groups – thermal, chemical processes, irradiative processes, and biological processes.Shiny Laser Holo Powder Rainbow Chrome Manicure Holographic Pigment.[China Sheet Metal Parts Manufacturer]

Thermal processes are grouped into three – low, medium, and high.

1. Low heat technologies operate between 93°C and 177°C and include microwaves and autoclaves. In autoclave, steam is used as a method for sterilization. Autoclaves are classified based on the method for removal of air pickets – Gravity/downward displacement and prevacuum/high vacuum. Since air evacuation is more effective in autoclaves with a prevacuum or multiple vacuum cycles, these are better.100W High Quality LED Corn Bulb with ETL Certificate. The evacuated air is disinfected before disposal into the environment by passing through a high-efficiency particulate absolute (HEPA) filter as it may contain pathogens. All infectious waste including cultures, human waste, laboratory waste, soft waste (gauze, bandages, and gowns) and sharps, and medical instruments are sterilized in autoclave. Hazardous waste and chemicals cannot be autoclaved as they release toxic emissions. Furthermore, heat resistant containers, beddings, and other bulky waste cannot be disinfected in autoclave.[SAA Approval Australian 2 Pin AC Power Cord] Microwave uses moist heat and steam generated by microwave energy to disinfect. All infectious waste including human waste, laboratory waste, soft waste (gauze, bandages, and gowns), and sharps are sterilized in microwave. Volatile, semi-volatile organic compounds, mercury,3D Cartoon High Quality Rubber Keychain Product (SLF-KC006). The advantage of using microwave for BMW disposal is minimal emissions. Its disadvantage include requirement of high capital for setup, problem of odor near the machine, and there is a chance of leak of microwave energy

2. Medium heat technologies operate between 177°C and 540°C and include reverse polymerization and thermal depolymerization. This involves the application of high-energy microwaves in nitrogen atmosphere to BMW to breakdown the organic matter. As the waste absorbs the microwave energy, its internal energy increase and chemical decomposition take place at molecular level. Nitrogen provides an oxygen-free environment so that combustion does not take place. Then, shredders are used to mutilate the waste[Carbon Ss400 Farm Gates 1.5 Inch Galvanized Steel Pipe Price Per Meter]

3. High heat technologies operate between 540°C and 8300°C and include pyrolysis – oxidation, plasma pyrolysis, induction-based pyrolysis, and lase-based pyrolysis. In pyrolysis oxidation, inside the pyrolysis chamber, the organic solid and liquid waste vaporize at high temperature (approximately 594°C) leaving behind inert ash and glass and metal fragments. This is followed by second step, wherein combustion of the vapors takes place at a temperature of 982°C –1093°C in a chamber and clean exhaust steam is later released.

Plasma pyrolysis uses plasma torches to generate plasma energy. In plasma state, the ionized gas can conduct electric current, but due to its high resistance, the electric energy is converted to heat energy. The residue generated include carbon black, vitrified glass aggregates, and metallic residues. A wide variety of waste can be destroyed in plasma-based technology – infectious waste, sharps, plastics, dialysis waste, hazardous waste, chemotherapeutic waste, chemotherapy waste, and low-level radioactive waste (High Quality White Spray Glass Candle Jar Container for Wedding Centerpiesce).Hot Selling Wholesale Plywood 10-25mm Good Price Quality, waste residue is inert and sterile, i.e., environment friendly,Jp Standard Smart WiFi Power Plug Japan APP Wall Plug Japanese Smart Light Outlet Smart Socket with Amazon Google Home Ifttt(95%) and mass (80%–90%).
