Abstract: In India, the prevailing indiscipline in medical waste management has led to significant environmental and public health impacts. The improper disposal of hazardous medical waste, including contaminated materials such as bloody cotton and linen, has resulted in the spread of diseases, environmental pollution, and compromised safety standards in healthcare facilities. This dire situation necessitated the creation of our innovative electric arc incineration system, coupled with an advanced filtration system. Our solution, with its exceptionally high incineration temperatures, rapid waste disintegration, and efficient pathogen elimination, offers a compelling advantage over existing methods. Its environmental friendliness, characterized by eco-friendly emissions and robust operation, aligns with global sustainability goals. Additionally, its superior performance and effectiveness in medical waste management position it as a valuable contribution to the market, addressing the pressing need for responsible and efficient disposal solutions in India and beyond. The market value of this invention is poised to grow as healthcare facilities seek reliable and sustainable waste management options, ultimately benefiting public health and the environment.
Description:Advanced medical waste management system incorporates a durable stainless steel incineration chamber, precise IoT-integrated temperature control, a custom Marx arc generator, and a three-step filtration system. Operating at over 800°C, it ensures thorough waste destruction, with an efficient atomizer for combustible liquid spraying, like alcohol, promoting swift incineration. The compact design facilitates seamless integration into healthcare facilities. Our system stands out for its high efficiency, rapid waste disintegration, elemental breakdown, pathogen elimination, environmental friendliness, and energy efficiency, providing a reliable solution for responsible medical waste disposal.
Key Components and Functionality:
1. Incineration Chamber: Constructed from high-quality stainless steel (304 or 316 grade) to withstand temperatures exceeding 800°C, ensuring durability and compliance with industrial standards. Atomizer is combined with the chamber to spray combustible liquid such as alcohol on the waste to facilitate incineration.
2. Temperature Control System: Utilizes industrial-grade thermocouples and fans with a precision of ±0.5 °C to maintain incineration temperatures within 800 - 1000°C, with built-in failsafe mechanisms for safety compliance.
3. IoT Integration: Incorporates IoT sensors and controllers, such as PT1000 temperature sensors and Arduino based controllers, designed for continuous monitoring of waste inlet and operation completion process for efficient medical waste management.
4. Arc Generator: Features a custom-designed Marx arc generator with a power rating of 5kW, engineered for industrial-scale waste reduction, ensuring safe and efficient incineration.
5. Three-Step Filtration: Utilizes industrial air filtration components, pre filter, HEPA filter, and chemical filters (Potash and activated carbon), capable of removing particles down to 0.3 microns, and adsorbing carbon dioxide, meeting or exceeding industrial environmental standards.
6. Compact Design: Despite its industrial capabilities, the system maintains a compact footprint, fitting within 177.5 CMS, making it suitable for integration into various healthcare facilities.
7. Eco-Friendly Disposal: Supports eco-friendly disposal practices by exploring the potential use of incinerated medical waste by-products, such as ash, as environmentally safe additives in construction materials or as an alternative energy source, contributing to sustainability efforts.
Summary:
The innovation combines a Marx arc generator, Arduino board, Temperature sensor, pre filter, Atomizer, HEPA filter, chemical filters (Potash and activated carbon), Cooling system and IOT to create an eco-friendly system for effective medical waste management. This streamlined and accessible approach reduces pollution and prevents outspread if diseases due to medical wastes, promoting safe medical waste disposal in clinics and laboratories in rural areas.
, Claims:1. High Incineration Temperature: Our electric arc incineration process operates at temperatures ranging from 850-1000°C, significantly surpassing the capabilities of other incineration methods, ensuring thorough waste destruction.
