Medical Waste Incineration
Medical Waste Incineration is the process of treating medical waste at high temperatures in a controlled environment leaving a non-toxic residue that is much safer and easier to dispose of. A medical waste incinerator which is properly designed, equipped, operated, and maintained can be used for processing all medical waste categories, including: infectious and/or pathological wastes, contaminated PPE, pharmaceutical waste, cytotoxic waste, sharps, including heavy amounts of liquids and/or plastics.
- Pathogen Destruction: Incineration at temperatures >850°C completely destroys all biological agents, including bacteria, viruses, and prions.
- Volume Reduction: Reduces waste by up to 97%.
- No Pre-Sorting: Unlike autoclaving or chemical treatment, incinerators can process mixed waste streams including sharps, pathological waste, and animal carcasses,
- Safe Handling: Modern systems are fully enclosed and often automated, reducing the risk of worker exposure
Environmental Compliance
Modern incineration technology goes beyond just burning waste—it integrates advanced emissions control and monitoring to meet international environmental standards.
Two-chamber design with a secondary combustion-oxidation zone that ensures complete thermal breakdown through longer residence times and temperatures of 850–1100°C to meet US, Canada, UK, and EU standards.
Core technology utilizes starved-air thermal conversion with high temperature oxidation and automated process control to optimize emissions.
Eco Waste Solutions medical waste incinerators are available with integrated features such as Air Pollution Control scrubbers, Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS), weigh scales, bin-tippers, and ash removal systems.
A Safer, Cleaner, More Responsible Approach to Medical Waste
On-site incineration of medical waste is the preferred choice for healthcare systems seeking:
- Reduced reliance on external haulers
- Improved infection control at the point of care
- Lower GHG emissions compared to transport and landfill methane
Eco Waste Solutions brings over three decades of engineering expertise to help hospitals, clinics, and public health authorities process waste safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with the most stringent standards.
