burning 150 kg of waste incinerator
In a bid to bring a partial relief from the mounting waste disposal issues, a new incinerator will begin functioning at the Kozhikode Medical College soon. Authorities say that the new incinerator will become operational by the first week of August.
The incinerator has been installed using the fund from the Hospital Development Society (HDS).
HDS member Saleem Madavoor told ‘City Express’ that the society has allotted `15 lakh towards the expenses that will be acquired for the installation works. Kerala Small Industries Development Corporation Limited(SIDCO), a state government undertaking has been entrusted with the works.
An official of the medical college said that an expert team, deputed by SIDCO, has visited the medical college to review the primary arrangements.
The work order has been given to SIDCO and an agreement was signed between the medical college authorities and SIDCO officials three months back.
The medical college official added that the works of the incinerator are completed and installation works will start within few days. When the new incinerator begins operating, the waste disposal issues will be partially addressed. The incinerator which has a capacity of burning 150 kg of waste, will dispose of the residue generated from the medical college hospital.
Meanwhile, the medical college will continue to grapple with the waste being generated from the Institute of Maternal and Child Health (IMCH) and Super Specialty block as the incinerator for these blocks, which have been proposed at a cost of `63.5 lakh by the state government still remains on papers. If the incinerator becomes a reality around 5,000 kg of waste can be disposed everyday.

Central Australia’s animal graveyard
The figure was revealed in the Alice Springs regional waste management facility report for October.
The dead pet you asked the vet to dispose of will end up buried in landfill, in most places across the country, and Alice Springs is no different.
“It’s a combination of horses, dogs, cats, pigs, any animal that dies,” said Alice Springs council technical services director Greg Buxton. “Road kill, kangaroos and that, the rangers pick them up, and you’ve got to dispose of them somewhere hygienic. So we put them at the back of landfill.”
The facility is on track to exceed last year’s total, with 3.7 tonnes deposited in the first quarter of this financial year.
Mr Buxton said most regional councils across the country dispose of dead animals in landfill.
“In the bigger cities they have an incinerator type setting where they cremate them, whereas we don’t have an incinerator here,” he said.
UTMB to destroy Ebola waste from Dallas hospital
GALVESTON, Texas
Health officials say the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in the coming days will destroy medical waste from a Dallas hospital where a Liberian man died of Ebola and two nurses became infected.
UTMB President David Callender said at a news conference Friday that the campus has the only licensed facility in Texas capable of receiving and incinerating the biohazardous material coming from the Dallas hospital.
He says waste suspected of being contaminated by Ebola will be trucked from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital and placed in a 1,500-degree Fahrenheit incinerator. Any residue not turned to ash can then be placed in an 1,800-degree incinerator.
Callender says UTMB also has a special unit allowing it to treat up to three people infected by Ebola.

Ebola Patients Create 440-Gallons Of Medical Waste Per Day
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — Ebola patients treated in the United States create a staggering amount of medical waste, and some states aren’t sure how to deal with it.
Each Ebola patient generate an average of eight 55-gallon barrels of medical waste per day, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Pieces of protective gear from gloves and gowns to medical instruments, bed sheets, and even mattresses have to be disposed once they’ve been exposed to the pathogen.
The recommended method for destroying the waste from Ebola patients is incineration, but California’s last medical waste incinerator closed in 2001, and it is illegal in some other states.
California’s department of public health states that if onsite treatment of Ebola medical waste by steam sterilization is not available, facilities can package the waste and transport it to an out of state facility for incineration. Alabama, Maryland, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Utah and Texas currently have operating incinerators.

Hai Phong trials waste incinerator
HAI PHONG (VNS)— A medical waste incinerator in Hai Phong built by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) and the Japan International Co-operation Agency in Viet Nam (JICA) completed its trial phase on Thursday.
Constructed in January, the US$600,000 incinerator has been operational since March with initial test results collected by the Hai Phong Urban Environment One Member Limited Company (URENCO) indicating that the incinerator satisfied most of the requirements set out in the 2012 Viet Nam Environmental Standards by MONRE.
“The incinerator is going to be of great assistance to the city’s effort to manage and process medical waste,” said Le Ngoc Tru, director of URENCO.
The Hai Phong Department of Health estimated the city’s hospitals created around 7,500 kg of medical waste per day, of which 800kg was solid toxic waste.
The city’s old incinerator built in 2002 is now outdated and not designed to process such a large amount of medical waste.
Tru said the incinerator built with the latest Japanese technology offered more than three times the capacity at 200kg per hour for 50 per cent less fuel consumption compared to the old incinerator.
It is also safer for workers to operate due to its automatic waste handling system that allows workers to process waste from a safe distance.
However, test results from water used for the incinerator did not meet Vietnamese standards and needed to be collected and processed separately in the nearby Trang Cat industrial waste treatment compound.
Air and water from neighbouring areas were also tested and came back with satisfactory results.
Kimura Mitsumasa, director of the Industrial Waste Association from Fukushima, said medical waste had to be labelled and transported using specific vehicles and trained workers.
Phung Chi Sy from VITTEP, a HCM City-based environment institute, said workers should be trained and able to categorise medical waste to maximise the incinerator’s efficiency by creating optimal mixtures of waste for the burning process.
Masuda Chikahio, senior representative of JICA Viet Nam, said the project, funded with Japanese Official Development Assistance, was part of a larger programme to encourage small-to-medium-size Japanese companies to transfer technology to Viet Nam.
At a seminar to evaluate the project’s trial phase on Thursday, representatives from other provinces’ health and environment sectors showed interest in the application of the incinerator. — VNS

Another challenge: disposing of waste
A single Ebola patient treated in a U.S. hospital will generate eight 55-gallon barrels of medical waste each day.
Protective gloves, gowns, masks and booties are donned and doffed by all who approach the patient’s bedside and then discarded. Disposable medical instruments, packaging, bed linens, cups, plates, tissues, towels, pillowcases and anything that is used to clean up after the patient must be thrown away.
Even curtains, privacy screens and mattresses eventually must be treated as contaminated medical waste and disposed of.
Dealing with this collection of pathogen-filled debris without triggering new infections is a legal and logistical challenge for every U.S. hospital now preparing for a potential visit by the virus.
In California and other states, it is an even worse waste-management nightmare.
While the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends autoclaving (a form of sterilizing) or incinerating the waste as a surefire means of destroying the microbes, burning infected waste is effectively prohibited in California, and banned in several other states.
“Storage, transportation and disposal of this waste will be a major problem,” California Hospital Association President C. Duane Dauner warned Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., in a letter last week.
Even some states that normally permit incineration are throwing up barriers to Ebola waste.
In Missouri, the state attorney general has sought to bar Ebola-contaminated debris from a St. Louis incinerator operated by Stericycle Inc., the nation’s largest medical waste disposal company.
Due to restrictions on burning, California hospital representatives say their only option appears to be trucking the waste over public highways and incinerating it in another state — a prospect that makes some environmental advocates uneasy.
Rules for transport
Under federal transportation guidelines, the material would be designated a Class A infectious substance, or one that is capable of causing death or permanent disability, and would require special approval from the Department of Transportation, hospital representatives say.
“These are some pretty big issues and they need some quick attention,” said Jennifer Bayer, spokeswoman for the Hospital Association of Southern California.
“We fully expect that it’s coming our way,” Bayer said of the virus. “Not to create any sort of scare, but just given the makeup of our population and the hub that we are. It’s very likely.”
The Ebola virus is essentially a string of genetic material wrapped in a protein jacket. It cannot survive a 1,500-degree scorching within an incinerator, or the prolonged, pressurized steam of an autoclave.
“The Ebola virus itself is not particularly hardy,” CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden said under questioning on Capitol Hill recently. “It’s killed by bleach, by autoclaving, by a variety of chemicals.”
However, CDC guidelines note that “chemical inactivation” has yet to be standardized and could trigger worker safety regulations.
Getting ready
California health officials recently tried to reassure residents that the state’s private and public hospitals were up to the task and were actively training for the possible arrival of Ebola.
“Ebola does not pose a significant public health risk to California communities at the present time,” said Dr. Gil Chavez, an epidemiologist and deputy director at the California Department of Public Health. “Let me tell you why: Current scientific evidence specifies that people cannot get Ebola through the air, food or water. … The Ebola virus does not survive more than a few hours on impervious surfaces.”
It was unclear whether California officials viewed the waste issue as a potential problem.
Although one-third of the state’s private hospitals and “a few” of its public hospitals reported to Boxer’s office that there would be problems complying with the CDC’s incineration recommendation, and others, a state public health official told reporters he was not aware of any conflicts.
Dr. David Perrott, chief medical officer for the California Hospital Association, said there was also confusion about whether infected human waste could be flushed down the toilet.
“Here’s what we’ve heard from the CDC: It’s OK,” Perrott said. “But then we’ve heard from some sources, that maybe we need to sterilize it somehow and then flush it down the toilet or you have to check with local authorities. It sounds maybe a little gross, but there is a real question about what to do with that waste.”
Overreaction?
Dr. Thomas Ksiazek, a professor of microbiology and immunology of the University of Texas Medical Branch, has said he believes there’s been a lot of overreaction about Ebola medical waste.
“There are other ways to deal with the waste; autoclaving would be chief among them,” Ksiazek said. “The problem is, most hospitals don’t use it for most disposable items. They’re quite happy to bag them up and send them to a regular medical disposal company.”
But Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said incineration is simple and effective, and should be available to hospitals to help dispose of the mountain of waste.
Hershkowitz said states began to crack down on medical waste incineration years ago because materials that didn’t need to be burned were being sent to combustors and were emitting dangerous pollutants.
In this case of Ebola medical waste, he said California should reconsider its restrictions.
“There’s no pollutant that’s going to come out of a waste incinerator that’s more dangerous than the Ebola virus,” Hershkowitz said. “When you’re dealing with pathogenic and biological hazards, sometimes the safest thing to do is combustion.”

England’s trash generating Danish heat
Power in Denmark is increasingly being generated in plants burning waste imported from England. The practice is being called an economical and environmental boon on both sides of the equation.
The AVØ incinerator in Frederikshavn produces heating and power for the area by burning trash from England.
“It is mainly construction waste like pieces of wood, cardboard and plastic from Manchester,” AVØ operations manager Orla Frederiksen told DR Nyheder. “I guess we have 600 tonnes here that provide a good combustible mixture we can then turn into district heating and power.”
Good for the bottom line
The incinerator in Frederikshavn has doubled its imports of the English waste in the past year.
Incinerators in Aalborg and Hjørring are also burning British trash.
“The heating we produce using the waste is cheaper than what we can generate with natural gas,” said AVØ head Tore Vedelsdal. “And the British are interested because they lack incinerators and pay heavy taxes on landfills.”
Good for the environment
Vedelsdal said that the environmental angle works for both countries.
“They save on having to bury the waste and we save on the consumption of natural gas,” he said.

Environmental protection agency Miljøstyrelsen said that last year up to 200,000 tonnes of non-hazardous waste from England was incinerated in Denmark – nearly six percent of the total volume of combustible material used.
