The document discusses biomedical waste management through incineration. It provides details on the types of waste generated at medical facilities, the incineration process, and the components involved. The key points are:
1) Biomedical waste from hospitals includes infectious and hazardous materials that must be disposed of properly. Incineration at high temperatures is the recommended treatment method.
2) The incineration process involves burning waste at high temperatures in a primary chamber, then fully oxidizing the gases in a secondary chamber using excess air and high turbulence.
3) The incinerator system includes components like a control panel, venturi scrubber, droplet separator, and chimney to treat gases before release.

A process heater is a direct-fired heat exchanger that uses the hot gases of combustion to raise the temperature of a feed owing through coils of tubes aligned throughout the heater. Depending on the use, these are also called furnaces or red heaters. Some heaters simply deliver the feed at a predetermined temperature to the next stage of the reaction process; others perform reactions on the feed while it travels through the tubes.
Combustion sources such as furnaces and fired
heaters play a critical role in the process industry.
Unfortunately, combustion requires large amounts of
fuel (gas, fuel oil). As a result, combustion efficiency
directly influences the performance and operational
costs of production facilities. However, efficiency is not
the only concern. Compliance and safety are major
challenges as well.

2. INTRODUCTION
• Bio-Medical Waste from hospitals, nursing homes
includes infectious items e.g. amputated body
parts, body fluids, cultures of contagious viruses
and excreta from patients with high contagious
diseases are highly toxic and extremely harmful.
It also includes scalpels, needles, bandages and
other waste from operation theaters and
laboratories. The easiest way to dispose off
medical waste is through Bio-Medical
Incinerators. The treatment technology of
controlled air burning at high temperatures to
reduce the weight and volume of wastes is called
incineration. Three factors are most important for
the incineration process known as three T’s
namely:
TIME, TEMPARATURE, TURBULANCE
3. Biomedical Waste (BMW)
is…
• Bio medical waste generated during the
diagnosis, testing, treatment, research or
production of biological products for
humans or animals (WHO)
• WHO estimates
– 85% of hospital waste is non-hazardous
– 10% is infectious
– 5% is non-infectious but consists of hazardous
chemicals like methylchloride and formaldehyde.
4. INCINERATION PROCESS
• The Incinerator is double chambered and is designed on ‘’controlled air’’ incineration
principle with a minimum of 100% access air. Volatilisation of waste is achieved in
primary chamber through supply of air through various nozzles on all sides of the
primary chamber, this is done by the F. D Fan provided with the incinerator. Heat is
generated with fuel oil burner with auto operation system suitable negative draft is
maintained in primary chamber to avoid leakage of gaseous emission from it. The sides
of the top position of the chambers are rounded up to avoid possibility of formation of
dead zones.
• Waste is fed inside the primary chamber of the incinerator through an automatic
waste feeding system ensuring no direct exposure of the furnace temperature to the
operator.
• Volatilised/gasified matters from waste is taken to the secondary chamber with
residence time of minimum 1 second. The heat source in this secondary chamber is
auto controlled fuel oil secondary burner. After the gases leave the secondary chamber,
they enter the venturi scrubber where gases are treated with caustic and scrubbed. A
re-circulating pump of stainless steel construction is provided in the system for
circulation of caustic and water inside the scrubber. The re-circulation pump is common
for the scrubber and droplet separator. All the interconnecting piping is of stainless
steel. The gases finally enter the droplet separator wherein the moisture is removed
from the gases. This reduces the flue gas temperatures making it safe to be let out in
the atmosphere. An I.D. Fan is provided at the end to release the gases to a 30 mtrs
high stack.
5. • In the incineration process, the waste is thermally decomposed in the
primary chamber at a temperature of 800±500 C. The gaseous products
(volatile mater) are completely oxidised in the secondary chamber due to
sufficient residence time, high temperature (1050±500 C.) high turbulence
and 100% excess air. The flame port through which the gases pass from
primary chamber to secondary chamber is sized to produce high velocity for
excellent mixing of combustion air and gases.
• Both the chambers are fitted with burners to fire support fuel for initial
heating up of chambers to required temperatures as well as maintain
these temperatures.

10. • Primary chamber burner
primary burner should be fully automatic
complete with ignition transformer, ignition
electrodes, necessary fuel lines, photo cell,
blower, fuel pump and fuel oil nozzle. The burner
operates automatically on the temperature set on
the digital temperature controller fixed on the
control panel.
• Secondary chamber burner
primary burner should be fully automatic
complete with ignition transformer, ignition
electrodes, necessary fuel lines, photo cell,
blower, fuel pump and fuel oil nozzle. The burner
operates automatically on the temperature set on
the digital temperature controller fixed on the
control panel. Fuel pressure indicator gauge is to

visual alarms for abnormal workings.
All electrical power, earth and control
cabling from the control panel to the
individual drives and components shall
be provided by us. The control panel is
pre-wired. However, external wiring is
to be carried out at site.
12. • High Pressure Venturi Scrubber
The venture scrubber shall have minimum
pressure drop of 350 mm WC to achieve the
prescribed emission limit. The flue gases from
the Cyclone separator are then sent to venturi
scrubber. Venturi scrubber is a high energy
device (fabricated out of stainless steel )
where particulate matter as well as acidic
pollutants are scrubbed. Here the acidic gases
are removed by absorption with caustic and
the particulates by the inertial impaction
energy. A high-pressure drop across the
venturi scrubber, imparts sufficiently high
energy which helps in atomising the
scrubbing liquid and thus trapping the
particulates. In venturi, gases saturate due to
evaporation of water vapour and thus cools.
5% caustic solution is used as scrubbing liquid
to neutralise the SO2 present in flue gases.
