SAN DIEGO – A local company has joined the front lines of an effort that has sparked a lot of debate: how to dispose of Ebola waste.

A representative from Envitech just returned from Texas after the first batch of medical waste was disposed of this past weekend.

The spacesuit-like gear is just one reminder of how contagious Ebola can be. The virus attacks the organs and liquefies parts of the body, with blood and other liquids seeping out of all body openings.

The medical supplies used to treat the first U.S. Ebola patient, Thomas Duncan, arrived in a semi-truck at a Galveston facility on Saturday.

“It was kind of all hands on-deck,” said Andy Bartocci, national sales manager at Envitech. He says a company official flew into Texas this weekend.

Envitech’s scrubbing system was installed at the Galveston site earlier this year. Here is how it works: once the Ebola-tainted supplies are incinerated at more than 2,000 degrees, the scrubber removes all the pollutants from the exhaust gas.

“We were on hand as they were burning this waste and the system operated flawlessly throughout that time,” said Bartocci.

The air scrubbers are newly designed after more stringent EPA standards went into effect this month.

“Somebody is probably more exposed to harmful pollutants pumping gas into their automobile than they would be by working or living around one of the medical waste incinerators,” said Bartocci.

Still, some states do not want that waste. Missouri’s attorney general is seeking a court order barring the waste from being shipped to a St. Louis incinerator. Among the concerns is the handling before it gets into the incinerator.

As for California, the state has a ban on the burning of medical waste, so any Ebola waste would have to be shipped to another state on public highways.

Many states like California began cracking down on medical waste incineration because hospitals were sending materials that did not need to be burned, which led to more pollutants.

Some are calling for California to reconsider these restrictions when it comes to Ebola waste.

APPENDIX 2 – MODIFIED BURN BARREL DESIGN AND SPECIFICATIONS

A modified burn barrel is typically constructed from a 45 gallon metal fuel or oil drum. The modifications result in greater

heat generation and retention, better mixing of the waste with incoming air and longer holding time inside the barrel.

Together, these modifications result in more complete combustion of the solid waste than does open burning on the ground or

in a pit.

PESHAWAR:
Even with clear rules which state hospital waste must be incinerated within 24 hours of its collection, incinerators at two major hospitals in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) are out of order and the waste is dumped outside the hospitals.

According to data collected by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 15 to 20 tons of hospital waste is generated daily in the provincial capital alone. Almost half of the total waste is recycled while the rest is collected by the Peshawar Development Authority (PDA).

LRH

“To be honest, we have one incinerator which is not in proper working condition and hardly disposes a quarter of the total waste generated,” said an official at Lady Reading Hospital while requesting anonymity. “But we have a new incinerator which will soon be functional.”

The official, who did not know the exact figure of the waste generated, said LRH has been among the well-equipped hospitals across the country. It has over 5,000 people (at least 3,000 in outpatient and 2,000 in accident and emergency departments) from across the province on a daily basis.

“The incinerator under process has some issues as a few of its parts are yet to be obtained,” said the official. “It also needs sufficient gas—another major problem—but we are in contact with Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Limited (SNGPL).”

The LRH official added the supply of gas to the hospital is not enough for sterilisation. He said the hospital administration is in contact with SNGPL authorities and the issue will soon be resolved.

HMC

Hayatabad Medical Complex (HMC) Chief Executive Dr Mumtaz Marwat said the incinerator at HMC is out of order but it does burn some waste. “The leftover is collected by the PDA and the hospital administration has approved Rs0.4million for a new incinerator, which will soon be installed.”

Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH) Chief Executive Dr Inayat Shah Roghani said the incinerator at KTH was working properly and recycles over 200 kilogrammes of waste per hour.

“Along with the solid waste generated by KTH, we also recycle waste that comes from a few private hospitals in University Town,” said Roghani.

The EPA has already sent a written notice to the health directorate, asking it to properly dispose of medical waste as mentioned under Hospital Waste Management Rules 2005. These say the responsibility of waste management lies solely with the institute that generated it.

What happens next

Even if the incinerators at these hospitals are repaired, the problem of unattended dump is likely to persist. This is mostly because of the small private health centres which lack the basic knowledge and dispose of their waste as ‘municipal waste’. The ever-increasing number of such centres is directly proportional to the waste generated, making it a threat for the environment as at times the waste is just left in a pile or buried to groundwater.

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.

The new plant would help in reducing energy losses in the incineration process as well as reducing harmful emissions

Wasteserv inaugurated a €12 million animal waste management in Marsa earlier today.

Speaking at the inauguration of the new Wateserv EU-funded autoclave rendering plant for the treatment of animal waste, Wasteserv CEO Tonio Montebello said that the project was part of its drive to improve the country’s waste treatment infrastructure.

Montebello also explained that the plant would result in substantial savings made in the incineration plant, which processes some 6,000 tonnes of waste a year.

Projects manager Jean Luke Zarb said that the problem with the current system was that a lot of energy was being wasted in incinerating water or fats on the carcasses.

“This plant will work essentially as an industrial pressure cooker in that it will dry up the carcasses beforehand,” he said, adding that this would ultimately result in less energy required by the incinerator.

He added that the fats would also be used as fuel for the plant itself, therefore reducing its fuel consumption.

Stressing that the plant would also be used to treat materials coming from Gozo, Montebello said that the new plant would also banish issues that normally rose when the incinerator was under maintenance, ensuring a seamless transition and operation.

Environment minister Leo Brincat said that the drop in fuel consumption would also ultimately lead to less harmful greenhouse gas emissions.

“Another novelty the plant will introduce, is in expired foodstuffs containing animal by products, which would normally have to be incinerated,” he said using a pizza with meat as an example.

“The plant will allow us to treat these foods and then forward them to other treatments plants to turn them into biofuels,” he added.

Brincat said that the project would also increase Wasteserv’s overall operation, and that the company was also looking forward to the inauguration of the Malta North MBT in the coming months.

EU funds parliamentary secretary Ian Borg added that the project, 85% of which was funded by the EU, was also completed in record time – about a year.

“The government is also currently evaluating projects for the latest €200 million fund package under the European Regional Development Fund,” he said.

Researchers at the University of York have concluded that PyroPure (UK) technology has the potential to transform the way in which hazardous waste is destroyed in clinical environments and say pharmacists, manufacturers and hospitals throughout the UK should consider trialling the system.

The announcement follows a six month Innovate UK-funded Knowledge Transfer Partnership project in which a team of leading scientists from the University’s Environment Department and Centre of Excellence in Mass Spectroscopy confirmed that the system helped to destroy active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) found within pharmaceutical waste on-site.

A total of 17 of the most thermally resistant APIs were selected for the trial, which revealed that PyroPure technology destroys over 99 per cent of APIs in 10 of the 17 tested and an average of 94 per cent of the ‘worst case’ pharmaceuticals.

Professor Alistair Boxall of the University’s Environment Department and former member of the DEFRA Hazardous Substances Advisory Committee headed the study. On the future of PyroPure as an alternative to high temperature incineration, he comments:

“There are big concerns over the negative impacts of pharmaceuticals on the natural environment. Inappropriate disposal of pharmaceuticals and emissions from manufacturing sites are thought to be important contributors to these impacts. Our work demonstrates that PyroPure could help reduce the levels of pharmaceuticals in rivers and streams and have big benefits for ecosystem health. The system also provides a range of other environmental and economic benefits that could radically change how waste of this nature is collected and destroyed going forwards. With PyroPure technology, hazardous waste and controlled substances no longer need to be transported across the country to incineration facilities, thus reducing the associated costs, carbon emissions and risks associated with moving waste from its point of origin to its point of disposal.”

Currently in the UK, pharmaceutical wastes are only disposed of in large-scale, high-temperature incinerators, which can be up to 200 miles away from where the waste is generated. The Environment Agency has previously indicated that PyroPure, which relies on pyrolysis, a thermochemical decomposition process using high temperatures and an absence of oxygen, followed by catalytic conversion to clean and convert the gases, could be the first viable alternative to high-temperature incineration for pharmaceutical wastes.

On the trial’s success, Peter Selkirk, PyroPure Ltd’s Executive Chairman, adds: “This is a huge step forward for PyroPure technology and the healthcare sector. For too long now, we have been overly dependent on incineration as the only viable route in which to dispose of hazardous waste. Not only is it expensive but it’s also open to security breaches, particularly when the waste needs to be transported long distances. Now that PyroPure is a proven technology I’m confident that this breakthrough will pave the way for a new approach to waste disposal and irrevocably change the model for waste collection within clinical environments across the world.”

The trial, which formed a Knowledge Transfer Partnership between PyroPure Ltd and the University, also revealed how on-site energy recovery during the PyroPure process is at least 75 per cent compared with 20 per cent for a high-temperature incinerator.

Each PyroPure unit is the size of a chest freezer. The user simply opens the unit’s lid and places the waste within the chamber before initiating the process of pyrolysis to destroy it.
