Microwave Based Biomedical Waste Disinfection System provides a low-cost solution to treat infected medical waste. It uses microwave technology to disinfect waste at the source for 1/10th the cost of imported autoclave systems with no air or water pollution. The market size for biomedical waste disinfection in India is estimated at $200 million, with 45,000 hospitals currently lacking treatment facilities. Cusen Systems plans to sell their $10,000 microwave systems directly to hospitals and develop a business providing waste management services. Their technology has been validated by industry experts and they are finalists for government grant programs to commercialize their prototype.

1. Microwave Based Biomedical
Waste Disinfection System
A Clean and Safe Method
Cusen
Environmental Systems,
Bangalore,India

3. The Problem
Around 420 tons/day of Medical waste generated in India
50% goes untreated in non metro cities and small towns
and ends up in landfills
Causing Injuries, infections and spread of epidemics
Lack of availability of low cost and easy to use clean
solution
50% of Health-care facilities in India do not have access
to biomedical disinfection facility **
Biomedical waste regulations,India (1998)----> Non
Compliance
Similar Problem in Africa,South America etc.
* 90000 deaths in US and 25000 deaths in Europe caused by
Nosocomial infections (hospital infections)
** CPCB & IIML Study (May 2010)

4. Our Solution
Low cost Microwave Based Hospital Waste Disinfection
System
MW disinfect medical waste without the need of
incineration
Advantages
Low cost (Initial Investment and Operating)
No Air or water pollution
Waste generated is highly suitable for recycling
Entry level model @ $10,000 compared to $60,000 for
imported systems
Very high level of sterilization
We offer a Low cost and clean solution to treat infected
waste at source and help hospitals comply with
regulations
1/10th cost of imported system and 1/10th operating
cost of alternatives like Autoclave

5. Market size (India)
The market for biomedical waste disinfection systems has been estimated at
200 million $ in India (http://www.kleanindustries.com)
According to a Study by Central Pollution Control Board and IIM Lucknow
(India)
No of Hospitals and other health care centers : 85000
about 45000 Hospitals don't have any form of Medical waste disinfection
systems
if 20 % of hospitals adopt our technology : There is a market for 9000 systems
or (9000 x 10000$ ) = 100 million $ (indian market)
This sector is growing at 16-20% annually.

6. BUSINESS MODEL
Validation : EOI from hospitals for about 10 Systems and one common
treatment facility.
Sell Systems Directly to Hospitals, Clinics,
Diagnostic centers, Dialysis Centers and Blood Banks.
Systems for Waste Management Contractors such
as Procesan in chile
Truck Mounted Systems
Additional revenue source from Shredders and
Compactors
Hospital Waste Management Consulting

7. COMPETITION
There is still no existing Indian manufacturer of MW
Systems
First To Market
Imported Systems from Europe cost 10X compared to
our system.
Design,Technology and process can be patented.
Collaboration with MS Ramiah Hospitals ,Which is a
nodal agency to implement a 40 million USD project
from UNIDO to implement CleanTech based Waste
Management across five Indian states.

8. Comparition with Alternative Technology
Autoclave Microwave technology
Low productivity high productivity
Pollution and contamination of No water pollution or
water contamination
Needs steam generator and Easy to Assemble and
rejects polluted and install
contaminated water No Atmospheric Pollution
Huge Assembly NO Pressure : Safe to
odor and atmospheric pollution operate
Pressurized vessel; risk of Can be operated with
explosion; needs public minimum training
authorization and specialized output :Very dry: no water
manpower Product easy to recycle
competitive investment for
high productivity and low
operating cost.
