It follows the cradle to grave approach which is characterization, quantification, segregation, storage, transport, and treatment of BMW.

The basic principle of good BMW practice is based on the concept of 3Rs, namely,8 Person Korean Electric BBQ Grill, recycle, and reuse. The best BMW management (BMWM) methods aim at avoiding generation of waste or recovering as much as waste as possible, rather than disposing. Therefore, the various methods of BMW disposal, according to their desirability, are prevent,8 Person Korean Electric BBQ Grill, reuse, recycle, recover, treat, and lastly dispose.

To phase out chlorinated plastic bags, gloves,New Style Reusable Foil 454G 1lb Coffee Bean Flat Bottom Side Gusset Food Grade Packaging Bag/containers the cost will be high and time span for doing this i.e. two years is too short.

Currently, in India, there are 198 CBMWTF in operation and 28 are under construction.[Fitness Equipment Commercial Treadmill Motorized Running Machine] There is a great need for rapid development of many more CBMWTF to fulfill the need of treatment and disposal of all BMW generated in India. Incinerator emit toxic air pollutants, and incinerator ash is potentially hazardous.

Incinerator and its Hazards

The first solution for the disposal of BMW was to burn the waste. India in the late 1990s after the first BMW rule was implemented, saw a boom in the number of incinerator being installed. It is based on high temperature that kills pathogen and in the process destroys the material in which the microbes reside.[High Purity Sodium Benzoate with Best Price,Mobile Hospital Truck Portable Shipping Container Clinic for Rescue] However,Extendable Bamboo Bathtub Caddy Tray with Removable Soap Dish Adjustable Arms(PIC) and dioxins.New Material 5 Gallon Water Bottle Cap, waste components dissociate and recombine forming new particles called PIC, which are toxic.PTFE Bronze Filled Guide Ring/Wear Ring. Dioxins are an unintentional by-Hanna Brand Electrostatic Powder Coating Equipment for Steel Surface Coating. These are a group of 75 chemicals which coexist along with another group of toxins called furans. These toxins have a tendency to accumulate in fatty tissues and travel up the food chain. Burning of medical devices made up of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the largest dioxin producers in the environment.[m.excavatorfilters.com] In addition, metals present in the medical waste act as a catalyst for dioxin formation. These are very toxic, being known carcinogenic,Factory Cheaper Dust Mop Head Wet and Dry Cotton Mop. In India, till date, no study has been done by Government of India to estimate the level of dioxin in Indian population. In 2000, Subramanianet al. have found high level of dioxin in the human breast milk collected from New Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata.[Transparent Plastic PVC Playing Cards with Aluminium Box] Recently, in January 2017 appreciating the importance of the presence of dioxins in the environment,OEM Custom Plastic Injection Molding Parts & Plastic Mould Maker.[3 Axis 4 Axis 5 Axis CNC Milling Machine Vmc850 CNC Machining Center with High Speed] Moreover, the incinerator ash is also hazardous and needs to be checked for the level of toxin before being sent to secured landfill. Therefore, keeping these points in consideration, most of the countries are shifting to alternative environmental friendly methods of BMW disposal. The Philippines has banned incinerator and Denmark has banned construction of incinerator.[500ml/1000ml Clear Kombucha Beverage Cold Brew Coffee Glass Bottle,Light Gauge Stainless Steel Reducing Tee for Water System]

Alternative Technology for Biomedical Waste Disposal

The various new technologies for BMW disposal are categorized into four groups – thermal, chemical processes, irradiative processes, and biological processes.CO2 Laser Marking Machine for Jeans/Cloth.[Breast Shaped Feeding Bottle]

Thermal processes are grouped into three – low, medium, and high.

1. Low heat technologies operate between 93°C and 177°C and include microwaves and autoclaves. In autoclave, steam is used as a method for sterilization. Autoclaves are classified based on the method for removal of air pickets – Gravity/downward displacement and prevacuum/high vacuum. Since air evacuation is more effective in autoclaves with a prevacuum or multiple vacuum cycles, these are better.Fashion Design Multi-Function DVB-S2 Digital Satellite Receiver 220mm. The evacuated air is disinfected before disposal into the environment by passing through a high-efficiency particulate absolute (HEPA) filter as it may contain pathogens. All infectious waste including cultures, human waste, laboratory waste, soft waste (gauze, bandages, and gowns) and sharps, and medical instruments are sterilized in autoclave. Hazardous waste and chemicals cannot be autoclaved as they release toxic emissions. Furthermore, heat resistant containers, beddings, and other bulky waste cannot be disinfected in autoclave.[Eco-Friendly 48V/500W Motor & 16ah Lithium Battery Electric Cargo Bike for Take-out Service (JB-TDN03Z)] Microwave uses moist heat and steam generated by microwave energy to disinfect. All infectious waste including human waste, laboratory waste, soft waste (gauze, bandages, and gowns), and sharps are sterilized in microwave. Volatile, semi-volatile organic compounds, mercury,High Quality Betaine Anhydrous with Best Price107-43-7. The advantage of using microwave for BMW disposal is minimal emissions. Its disadvantage include requirement of high capital for setup, problem of odor near the machine, and there is a chance of leak of microwave energy

2. Medium heat technologies operate between 177°C and 540°C and include reverse polymerization and thermal depolymerization. This involves the application of high-energy microwaves in nitrogen atmosphere to BMW to breakdown the organic matter. As the waste absorbs the microwave energy, its internal energy increase and chemical decomposition take place at molecular level. Nitrogen provides an oxygen-free environment so that combustion does not take place. Then, shredders are used to mutilate the waste[OEM Brand 400ml Aerosol Household Insecticide Spray Mosquito Repellent]

3. High heat technologies operate between 540°C and 8300°C and include pyrolysis – oxidation, plasma pyrolysis, induction-based pyrolysis, and lase-based pyrolysis. In pyrolysis oxidation, inside the pyrolysis chamber, the organic solid and liquid waste vaporize at high temperature (approximately 594°C) leaving behind inert ash and glass and metal fragments. This is followed by second step, wherein combustion of the vapors takes place at a temperature of 982°C –1093°C in a chamber and clean exhaust steam is later released.

Plasma pyrolysis uses plasma torches to generate plasma energy. In plasma state, the ionized gas can conduct electric current, but due to its high resistance, the electric energy is converted to heat energy. The residue generated include carbon black, vitrified glass aggregates, and metallic residues. A wide variety of waste can be destroyed in plasma-based technology – infectious waste, sharps, plastics, dialysis waste, hazardous waste, chemotherapeutic waste, chemotherapy waste, and low-level radioactive waste (Depth Throat Swing Beam Cutting Machine and Blades for Iron Sheet in China).PVC Sheath Control Cable, waste residue is inert and sterile, i.e., environment friendly,6A/4c Transmission Chain Conveyor Chain for Agricultural Machinery(95%) and mass (80%–90%). Its disadvantage includes high capital cost, high operation cost, high electrical usage, limited lifespan of plasma torch and may generate dioxins in poorly designed setup.[Car Accessories D8tc High Performance 3-Electrode Motorcycle Spark Plug]
