The Incinerator Method of Waste Disposal
 

Our state of the art incinerator, is one of our in-house facilities for handling medical waste.  Our incinerator design and emission control technology keep our facility well within current and future EPA emissions standards.

Wastes Suitable for Incineration

Certain types of medical waste are best treated by rendering them not only sterile, but totally unrecognizable.  Incineration also reduces the volume of the waste by up to 95%.  Types of waste that we incinerate may include chemotherapy waste, laboratory specimens, contaminated animal carcasses, isolation and surgical waste, pharmaceuticals and blood or blood products.

Incinerator Process

Waste is unloaded on to a conveyor system where it is ready to be incinerated.  Corrugated containers are put in, while reusable containers are emptied and sent to be sterilized. 
The operator carefully monitors the temperature and airflow in each chamber, and the volume of waste that is put in to make sure that emissions are well within EPA standards at all times.  All exhaust is handled through a multi-stage dry bag scrubber.

Recyclable Container

All plastic containers go through a sterilization and cleaning process before they are used again.
