DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present disclosure generally relates to the field of waste processing apparatus. Particularly, it relates to a method for processing of biomedical and sanitary waste using incineration, sterilization and shredding.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Due to the rapid increase in the waste generated by the hospitals and health centers; there is a simultaneous increase in the improper disposal of the waste. These problems concern us as the improper disposal of biomedical waste and sanitary waste is very harmful for the environment and all the creatures living in it. Medical and biohazardous waste is often a special problem since it is usually non-homogeneous waste; i.e. it may include liquids and/or solids such as paper, plastic, fabric, biological tissues, metal, glass, and the like. Many incinerators do not fully burn such mixed composition waste.

The composition of medical waste generally includes: disposable syringes, delivery tubes, gauze, cotton balls, toilet paper, surgical waste, residual limbs, dead infants, discarded masks, rubber gloves, discarded protective clothing and sanitary wastes. It is characterized by pathogenic microorganisms, viruses and other harmful substances with the improvement of social living standards and the rapid development of medical science and technology, the demand for mobile and on-site medical waste disposal treatment systems has gradually increased, and there are two main reasons for demand: First, the current medical waste treatment system is immovable and occupies more space and the garbage must be transported to the incineration site for centralized treatment, which directly increases the risk of environmental pollution caused by the garbage during transportation and also there are no proper common waste treatment facilities and there is no proper collection of such biomedical wastes. Second, most small and medium-sized hospitals and township hospitals are not aware of the correct treatment of medical waste, and it is easy to lose medical waste into domestic garbage, thus causing harm to the natural environment. As per the government norms sanitary waste can only be treated by the method of incineration.

Conventional apparatus for treating biomedical waste by using only incineration process or incineration process coupled with shredding of the solid biomedical wastes, especially sanitary wastes has various disadvantages as they emit harmful gases during the process, they are not capable of disposing all categories of biomedical wastes and waste volume reduction is not satisfactory. Also the existing systems are bulky, non-user friendly and occupies more space which ultimately limits its use in the small health facilities and sustains the problem of on-site user friendly treatment of biomedical waste. All over, inappropriate disposal of untreated waste can affect the development of the respected nation.

Accordingly, there is a dire need for a compact, user and environmentally friendly biomedical solid waste management system which is capable of on-site waste management and which obviates the above mentioned drawbacks of the conventional systems.

The present disclosure provides a system and method for on-site treatment of biomedical solid waste which works on the combination of three processes; incineration, sterilization and shredding and is capable of disposing all types of biomedical and sanitary waste. This system is a combo unit to treat biomedical waste and sanitary waste with integrated shredder, steam sterilizer and incinerator.

Fig. 1 shows the schematic drawing of the system for biomedical waste treatment. Discloses the biomedical waste is categorized as per the set norms so that the waste generated can be segregated to decide that which wastes fall under the category that can be treated by simple sterilization and shredding and the wastes which are necessary to disposed by the incineration process like sanitary wastes. The system consists of a waste loading chamber which is used to load the waste into the shredder chamber, sterilization chamber and incineration chamber for further treatment of the generated waste.

The invention further includes a cutting system to shred the contents during operation. This improves heat transfer to the waste, produces a more compact product and is better suited for recycling of waste product. The present invention discloses a shredder Chamber for shredding the biomedical solid wastes into smaller parts. This shredding of the biomedical waste is a stage just before the sterilization of the biomedical wastes. Shredding before sterilization to ensure steam reaches to the core of shredded waste particles for better disinfection. The shredder comprises of a number of rotary cutter/disc plates. These rotary cutters are driven by an induction motor and consist of two rotating shafts. The maximum RPM of the cutter is 45 and it uses a gear box for controlling the speed of the rotary cutter.

The present invention discloses a sterilization chamber which sterilizes the biomedical waste before disposing it off into the environment. Sterilization of biomedical waste is achieved by exposing all portions of the waste to a temperature and pressure for a time sufficient to kill bacteria, viruses, parasites and heat-resistant spores. Sterilization in the present invention is done through steam.

A preferred embodiment of the invention relates to a control system for a waste treatment processing apparatus. The control system provides a computer automated system that controls operation of the process, including the values, monitors pressure and/or temperature, speed and other parameters to increase the capacity and improve operating efficiency. The system also records data relating to each processing cycle.

The present invention further discloses an incinerator for burning biomedical sanitary wastes at high temperature. It discloses a most compact double chamber incinerator which is designed on “controlled air” incineration principle. The incinerator with secondary combustion chamber disclosed in the present invention is having a capacity to withstand a temperature of 1200 degree Celsius. The incinerator disclosed has a capacity to burn 150-200 sanitary napkins and 50 used adult diapers/ day. The incinerator disclosed here in the present invention uses a filter that absorbs even the smallest amount of harmful gas that is released during the process thus, keeping the environment safe and treats the bio-medical waste efficiently. It is also ideal for incineration of hazardous waste such as human anatomical waste. Auto feeder of the incinerator ensures complete safety to the operator.

Fig. 2 shows the schematic view of the methods employed in biomedical waste management in the present invention. In the present invention the generated biomedical wastes from the medical facilities are collected and then segregated to categorize the waste as per the required set norms and then further the biomedical wastes are fed to the shredding chamber through waste loading chamber for shredding the biomedical wastes and once it gets shredded, it is then sterilized to further disinfect the waste for proper and safe disposal. Similarly, sanitary wastes are further fed to the incinerator which burns the wastes in ashes at high temperature.

As per CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) norms sanitary waste can only be treated by the method of Incineration. Thus, we decided to incorporate Incineration to our next machine. Incineration process requires no pre-treatment. Because most medical waste can be incinerated, the waste does not always require sorting or separation prior to treatment. Incineration has the benefit of reducing the volume of the waste by 90 percent or more, sterilizing the waste, and reducing the need for pre-processing the waste before treatment. The resulting incinerated waste can be disposed of in traditional methods, such as land filling.

After the process of incineration all the hazardous waste is converted to ash/ normal waste. Thus, there is a drastic reduction in the volume and weight of the waste after the process is over, which adversely saves space, which makes this the most reliable and efficient process of treating Biomedical and sanitary waste. This machine treats the Biomedical and sanitary waste at a temperature range starting from 1050oC to 1100oC. Which means that after the waste is treated there is no chance of the ash to be hazardous. At that temperature any kind of sanitary waste can be treated as incineration is the only solution to the treatment of sanitary waste.

In one implementation, the present invention provides a system for biomedical solid waste management, which consists of both, steam Sterilization and incineration. Thus, by the process of shredding and sterilization, pre-treatment and disinfection of the various types of waste can be taken place, wastes which come under the category that it can be suitably treated just by shredding and sterilization process where all types of sanitary wastes can be treated by the process of incineration. The wastes are categorized based on the nature of the waste. This system employs a filter in the incineration unit that will absorb the harmful gases that is released during the process of waste treatment.

In one implementation, the present invention provides a system for biomedical solid waste management, which provides 95% of volume reduction as after the process of incineration all the hazardous waste is converted to ash/ normal waste. Thus, there is a drastic reduction in the volume and weight of the waste after process is over, which adversely saves space.
