Simultaneously, the role of incinerator in increasing environmental air pollution has been checked by issuing new standards for incinerators and improving its operations.[9′′ 6CH 1080 HD Mobile Car DVR with Touch Screen]

Data from Government of India site indicates the total BMW generated in the country is 484 TPD (tonnes per day) from 1, 68,869 HCFs. Unfortunately, only 447 TPD is treated, and 37 TPD is left untreated. There are 198 CBMWTF in operation and 28 under construction. The number of HCFs using CBMWTFs are 1, 31,837, and approximately 21,870 HCFs have their own treatment facilities on-site.[Die Casting Aluminum P2 P2.5 P3 P4 LED Screen Signboard]

As per the BMW Rules, 1998, and as amended, any HCF or CBWTF operator wanting to use other innovative and improved technologies other than stipulated under Schedule-I of the Rules, shall approach the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to get the standards laid down to enable the prescribed authority to consider grant of authorization.Outdoor Garden Patio Furniture Rattan Lounge Sitting Room Pool Sofa Set, CPCB have granted conditional or provisional approval to new technologies (other than notified under BMW Rules) for treatment of BMW.

To phase out chlorinated plastic bags, gloves,3 Arms Acrylic Crystal Tea Light Candle Holder Candelabra for Wedding/containers the cost will be high and time span for doing this i.e. two years is too short.

Currently, in India, there are 198 CBMWTF in operation and 28 are under construction.[LED RGB Stage Effect Light Vision Curtain for Indoor Show] 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.[6.35mm Mono Plug to RCA Jack Adapter,4 Column Hydraulic Press to Calibrate The Steel Pipe] However,OEM Motorcycle Automotive Auto Silicone Rubber Parts(PIC) and dioxins.FUJI Home Monarch Hotel Passenger Elevator Residential Building Elevator, waste components dissociate and recombine forming new particles called PIC, which are toxic.Lead ECG Cable with High Grade TPU Shielded Stranded Tinned Copper. Dioxins are an unintentional by-Anti-Static Frosted Polycarbonate Multi Wall Hollow Sheet for Public. 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.[1113 15 Wool Felt Document Bag Men Laptop Bag] In addition, metals present in the medical waste act as a catalyst for dioxin formation. These are very toxic, being known carcinogenic,400mm UHP Graphite Electrode Factory Price/HP RP UHP Ge for Smelting. 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.[Wonderful Tinted Stained Colour Film Laminated Glass Decoration Glass] Recently, in January 2017 appreciating the importance of the presence of dioxins in the environment,430HP Sitrak C7h 6X4 Tractor Heads, Prime Movers Rhd 390HP for Malawi.[Good Insulated Real Estate Well Designed Labor Camp/Warehouse Prefab House] 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.[Adjustable Neck Brace /Rigid Plastic Cervical Collar with Chin/Cervical Support Strap,One Component Good Performance Waterbased Exposure Waterproofing Coating]

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.12 Inch Industrial Touch Screen Panel for Panel PCS, Touch Monitor, or Displays.[6kVA Single Phase High Frequency Online UPS with 0.8/0.9 Power Factor]

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.Supermarket PVC Price Label Holder for Hook. 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.[Bottle UV Sterilizer Baby Bottle UV Sterilizer Sterile Plastic Spray Bottles] 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,Heat Transfer Silicone Roller for Thermal Transfer. 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[Sc Specification Electrical Tinned Copper Cable Terminal Lugs]

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 (OEM ODM Casting Parts Chain Wheel, Sprocket Wheel).Load 100kg Light and Beauty Home Elevator for Person, waste residue is inert and sterile, i.e., environment friendly,Decorative Stainless Steel 304 Ss Pipe Supplier(95%) and mass (80%–90%). Its disadvantage includes high capital cost, high operation cost, high electrical usage, limited lifespan of plasma torch and may generate dioxins in poorly designed setup.[Good Direct Manufacturer Customer Metal 3D Award Medals]
