Category – Yellow (as per Bio-Medical Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2016) shall be directly loaded into the incinerator while categories Red and White shall be loaded into the autoclave and category Blue is subjected for dis-infection. Residue from these units shall be disposed into a landfill. Detailed process description of the treatment technologies is presented in the subsequent sections.

IV. Storage: Storage of biomedical waste shall be provided near the entry point of the facility to unload and store all bio-medical wastes that have been transported to the facility by vehicle. A storage room of 120 sq.m will be provided to store wastes on site before treatment. The front portion of the room shall be utilized for unloading the wastes from the vehicle and back or side portion shall be utilized for shifting the wastes to the respective treatment equipment. The unloading area will be made impermeable with a garland drain connected to ETP, to carry liquid spillages during unloading. The liquid generated during handling of wastes and washing, will be diverted to the inlet of ETP. In the main storage room, wastes will be stacked with clear distinction as per the color coding of the containers. The main storage room too will have provisions similar to that of equipment room such as roofing, well ventilated, easy to wash floors and walls, smooth and fine surfaces etc. Schematic diagram of bio medical waste treatment is presented in Fig

Treatment of Bio Medical Waste The primary methods of treatment and disposal of medical waste proposed are 1. Incineration 2. Autoclaving 3. Shredding

Medical Waste Incineration Medical waste incineration involves the burning of wastes produced by hospitals, veterinary facilities, and medical research facilities. These wastes include both infectious ("red bag") medical wastes as well as non-infectious, general housekeeping wastes. All the wastes ent to incineration will not be chemically treated with any chlorinated disinfectants

Page 7

Godavari Bio Management Form I Annexure

to avoid formation of dioxins. The emission factors presented here represent emissions when both types of these wastes are combusted rather than just infectious wastes. The waste, which requires incineration, is stored in yellow non-chlorinated HDPE bags in storage area. The incinerator will be slected considering the following operating parameters; ¾ Combustion efficiency of 90% ¾ Maintenance of temperature minium of 800OC in primary chamber and minimum of 1050OC in secondary chamber. ¾ Residence time in secondary chamber shall be minimum of 2 sec.

Process Description of Incinearion System: The waste generally passes through the incinerator on a belt into the Primary Chamber through the charging door. The primary chamber is lined with refractory and insulation bricks of IS 8 & IS-2042 standards. The air required for volatilization is supplied through an air duct and introduced through equally placed nozzles. Airflow is controlled with the help of air dampers provided. The primary chamber is fitted with a fuel oil burner, which has necessary instrumentations to function automatically. A forced draft fan is used to provide for combustion/volatilization air. This fan also supplies air required for the dilution of flue gases before venturi scrubber. The combustion air is controlled to have minimum turbulence, restricting fly ash. The fly ash collected in Primary Chamber is removed from the dashing door. Inside primary chamber a min. of 850O C +/- 50OC temperatures is maintained.

The volatiles/gases emitted from the primary chamber pass through the neck of the secondary chamber, which is also lined with refractory and insulation bricks. The secondary chamber will be designed to ensure the flue gas residence time of more than one second. The secondary chamber will operate at a temperature of 1050OC +/- 50OC. The gases will be completely burnt and safe gases then shall be letout of the incinerator unit.

The volatile matter has a low flash point and hence gets liberated in the primary combustion chamber. This is later burnt in the secondary chamber at a high temperature

Page 8

Godavari Bio Management Form I Annexure

andin the presence of excess air in the secondary chamber. Fixed carbons are the non- volatile portion of the waste and are completely incinerated in primary chamber only. The moisture present in the waste is evaporated in the primary chamber and passes through the secondary chamber and hets releases as super heated water vapour. Sterilized ash and non-combustible material remains in the primary chamber. To prevent them from flying out along with gases, non-turbulent conditions are maintained in the primary chamber. Depending upon the type of waste destroyed in the incinerator the sterile ash content ranges between 5-10 %.

The flue gases then pass through the downstream air pollution control system, comprising of venture scrubber, droplet separator followed by ID fan and Stack of height 30m. Venturi scrubber ensures acidic gases are removed by absorption with caustic solution and the particulates by the inertial impaction energy. 5% caustic solution is used as scrubbing liquid to neutralize the SO2 etc. present in flue gases.

The flue gases enter tangentially into the droplet separator, which is of cyclonic type. By the action of centrifugal force, the larger droplets present in flue gases settle down. The gases are let out through a 30m height stack. At the end of the incineration process the sterile ash that is left over is packed in black-colored HDPE bags. These bags are then transported to the sanitary landfill site where they are disposed off. Technical Specifications of Incinerator is presented in Table.

Autoclaves The primary purpose of autoclave is to sterilize / disinfect the waste with steam. Microorganisms which contribute to infection do not survive beyond 80OC. However, as a aprecaution Bio-Medical Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2016 has stipulated a temperature of 121OC with 15psi pressure and 60 min duration to ensure distribution of temperature. At this temperature and pressure, microorganisms are completely destroyed and thus render the wastes infection free. The disinfected waste shall then be segregated into HDPE, PP, rubber, latex, glass and metal. The segregated materials shall then be shredded completing the process of disinfection and ensuring non-recycling of the waste materials for medical / food grade purposes. All the process control conditions will be as per the applicable Bio medical rules. It is proposed to install Horizontal rectangular

Here all Valves, Pumps, etc can be operated with individual Switches

Shredding Medical waste that is subjected to an autoclave is often also subjected to a compaction process, such as shredding, after treatment so that it is no longer recognizable and cannot be re-used for other purposes. The compaction process reduces the volume of the treated waste significantly. After treatment and compaction, the treated waste is combined with general waste and disposed to landfill. Waste that is treated using an autoclave is still recognizable after treatment, and therefore must be shredded after treatment to allow for disposal with general waste. Shredder is equipped with hopper of adequate size to accept the material to be shredded. The hopper is also provided with a lid, which can be

locked during operation. The hopper is well designed to take care of volume and weight of the material. The hopper directs the materials to the cutting chamber. The shredded waste is then packed in a black-colored HDPE bags. Technical Specifications of shredder is presented in Table.
