Biomedical waste is generated from hospitals and animal houses and mainly consists of:

• Human Anatomical Waste.

• Microbiology & Biotechnology Waste.

• Discarded Medicines & Cytotoxic Drugs.

• Soiled plaster castes, blood soaked cotton,

beddings etc.

• Wastes from pathological laboratories and

blood banks.

• Animal wastes & carcasses.

The waste is highly infectious and therefore needs to be carefully disposed off. BLACKHOLE incinerators have following features for complete incineration of biomedical wastes:

• Combustion efficiency of at least 99%.

• Gas residence time of minimum 1.5 seconds in

the Secondary Combustion Chamber.

• Temperature range of 750 to 850°C and 1000 to

1100°C in Primary & Secondary Combustion

Chambers respectively.
