The document summarizes a microwave-based system for disinfecting biomedical waste as a cleaner alternative to incineration. Key points: - 50% of biomedical waste in India is untreated, posing health and environmental risks. - The proposed microwave system provides low-cost, pollution-free waste disinfection and enables hospitals to comply with regulations. - It has major advantages over alternatives like autoclaves in terms of cost, ease-of-use, and environmental impact.

1. Microwave Based Biomedical
Waste Disinfection Systems
A Clean and Safe
Alternative to Incineration
Cusen Systems, Bangalore

2. Summary
• Over 50% of Biomedical waste generated in India is
not disposed scientifically
• Deadly Health Hazard: leading to infections/injuries
to people handling as well danger of epidemics
• As per Bio-Medical Waste (Management & Handling)
Rules, 1998, Hospital waste has to treated before
disposal
• 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

3. The Problem
• 420 tons/day - 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

4. Our Solution
Low cost Microwave Based Hospital Waste Disinfection System
Microwaves disinfect medical waste without the need of
incineration
Advantages
• Disinfection at Source
• Low cost (Initial Investment and Operating)
• No Air or water pollution
• Waste generated is highly suitable for recycling
• Entry level model @ Rs 500,000 ($10,000) compared to
$100,000 for imported systems
• Very high level of sterilization

5. Market Size
•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
–No. of Hospitals and other healthcare centres: 85000
–About 45000 Hospitals don't have any form of Medical waste
disinfection systems
•Even if 20 % of Them adopt our technology: There is a market for
9000 systems or (9000 x 5 L) = 450 crores or Approx $100 million
and growing
•This sector is growing at 16-20% annually

6. Business Model
• Sell Systems Directly to Hospitals, Clinics, Diagnostic
Systems, Dialysis Centers and Blood Banks
• Systems for Waste Management Contractors such as Ramky
and Meridi for central treatment facilities
• Truck Mounted mobile Systems
• Additional revenue source from Shredders and Compactors
• Hospital Waste Management Consulting

7. Competitive Advantage
• There is still no existing Indian manufacturer of Microwave
Systems
• First To Market
• Imported Systems from Europe cost 10X compared to our
system
• Design, Technology and process can be patented
• Collaboration with MS Ramaiah Hospitals, Which is the nodal
agency to implement a $40 million project from UNIDO to
implement Clean Technology based Waste Management
across five Indian states

8. Comparison with alternate 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 install
rejects polluted and • No Atmospheric Pollution
contaminated water • No Pressure: Safe to operate
• Huge Assembly • Can be operated with
• odor and atmospheric pollution minimum training
• Pressurized vessel; risk of • Output - Very dry, no water
explosion; needs public • Product easy to recycle
authorization and specialized • Competitive investment for
manpower high productivity and low
operating cost
