TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY Incineration through rotary kiln This is a high temperature thermal process employing combustion of the waste under controlled condition for converting it into inert material and gases. Incinerators can be oil fired or electrically powered or a combination of both. Broadly, three types of incinerators are used for biomedical waste: multiple hearth type, rotary kiln and controlled air types. All the types have primary and secondary combustion chambers to ensure optimal combustion. These are refractory lined. Rotary kiln: burning of bio medical waste at 800 c° to 950 °c de grading of organic. Secondary chamber: re burning of flue gas up to 1050 °c -1200°c de grading of in organic. Gas dilution chamber: reduce the concentration and temperature of thermal treated flue gas. Fly ash control device: high temperature bag filter to prevent fly ash from thermal treated gas. Ventury : high pressure ejector venturi unit for liquid quenching treatment of thermal treated exhaust gas. Flue gas treatment media tank : 6kl 5-7% NAOH water tank lined with isothalic FRP with high pressure pumping unit. Mist eliminator: post quenching and filtering of exhaust gas and seprate mist from gas ( de misting ). Id fan: high capacity ID fan for sucking the high quantity of negative pressure generating the whole unit. Gas ducting: containing passage of gases. Chimany : discharge the treated gas from the machine to 35 mtr above from ground level . A Disinfecting Unit A Disinfecting unit is one that will effectively kill all the microorganisms. Autoclaving, Microwaving, Hydroclaving and Chemical disinfection processes are the most prevalent technologies used for disinfection of pathogens from the bio- medical waste. Autoclave used for the purpose of bio-medical waste management is expected to be dedicated for the purpose and is expected to operate under standards specified by CPCB. Medical Waste shall not be considered treated unless the time, temperature M/s BMW Solutions, C/o, Dr. Hemant Mittal Bhopal Ex. 3 Common Bio Medical waste Treatment Facilities Summary at village-Ratua ratanpur Dist.-Bhopal (MP) and pressure indicated in the standards are reached (for eg. 1210 C, 15 psi for 1 hour for normal autoclave). Microwave and Hydroclave disinfection units are similar in application to that of an autoclave. Microwave technology cannot be applied for cytotoxins, hazardous or radioactive waste, contaminated animal carcasses, body parts and large metal items. Microwave should completely and consistently kill the bacteria and other microorganisms. Chemical disinfection is a process of disinfection wherein chemical disinfectants like chlorine and its derivatives or their disinfectants are used in a closed process to attain complete killing of the pathogens. A Destruction Unit A Destruction unit is one that will completely destroy the waste into safe end products. High temperature incinerators are used to achieve this. Incineration is a process by which combustible materials are burnt, producing combustion gases and non-combustible residue and ash. The combustible gases are vented into the air after treatment through air pollution control devices. Ash and other non combustible residue remain after the destruction/ incineration process is disposed off securely into a landfill site. Waste Storage Waste Storage is an applicable option for effective storage of certain hazardous waste like mercury and cytotoxins that do not have a cost-effective treatment technology as yet. Waste Disposal is primary performed by deep burial of waste into secure landfills. 9.5 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STATUS Location PM-10 PM-2.5 SO2 NOx CO Avg. 98th Avg. 98th Avg. 98th Avg. 98th PPM Near Project Site 119.13 129.71 47.65 51.89 <6.0 <6.0 21.09 23.02 <1 Ratua Ratanpur 102.64 117.46 41.06 46.98 <6.0 <6.0 10.93 11.85 <1 Barkhedi kalan 53.76 64.25 21.50 25.70 <6.0 <6.0 <8.0 <8.0 <1 Khadimmpur 53.38 61.59 21.35 24.64 <6.0 <6.0 <8.0 <8.0 <1 Near forest area 65.36 80.06 26.15 32.02 <6.0 <6.0 <8.0 <8.0 <1 Dupariya 66.96 79.54 26.78 31.82 <6.0 <6.0 8.59 9.51 <1 9.6 SURFACE WATER & GROUND WATER QUALITY Surface and Ground Water Quality Monitoring Locations S.

  • The Killer Plant That Keeps on Killing
    777 The newsletter of the Bhopal Medical Appeal, October 2003 The killer plant that keeps on killing In Union Carbide’s abandoned pesticide factory in Bhopal, deadly chemicals lie exposed in the open air. Eighteen monsoons have washed the poisons deep into the soil - and into local drinking wells. Read the full story on page 4. SAAT SAAT together together together This newsletter’s name arose from an attempt to capture the spirit of the Bhopal Medical Appeal. Someone suggested, ‘saat, saat, saat’, which in Hindi means ‘together, together, together’, but with a slight twist of the tongue could also mean ‘seven, seven, seven.’ Nightmare The Appeal was launched in 1994, when a man from Bhopal came to without end Britain to tell whoever would listen about the calamitous condition of page 4 the still suffering victims of the Union Carbide gas disaster. Those who met him learned that after ten years, the survivors had received no meaningful medical help. (Unless one is prepared to accept that aspirin is a cure-all for the dreadful illnesses visited on them.) The survivors realised that they must help themselves, because nobody else would. They wanted to open their own free clinic for gas victims. They were joined in the UK by a few individuals who put the mechanics of the Appeal together. They were in turn joined in this effort by you, and other like minded people. Carbide’s factory ‘We’ means all of us, all together. still killing Our first appeal, which appeared in The Guardian and The Observer on page 6 the 10th anniversary, produced a response so generous that we were able to buy a building, recruit doctors and staff and open the clinic.

  • Bhopal As a Case Study - Union Carbide Corp
    Bhopal as a Case Study - Union Carbide Corp. INVESTIGATION OF LARGE-MAGNITUDE INCIDENTS: BHOPAL AS A CASE STUDY Ashok S. Kalelkar Arthur D. Little, Inc. Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA Presented At The Institution of Chemical Engineers Conference On Preventing Major Chemical Accidents London, England May 1988 ABSTRACT The investigation of large-magnitude incidents is fraught with difficulties and the process of establishing the primary cause of an incident often requires an understanding of human nature in addition to the necessary technical and engineering skills. The salient non-technical features that are common to the investigation of large-magnitude events are discussed in general. The investigation of the Bhopal disaster is discussed as a specific case study in light of these salient features. The results of the overall investigation are discussed and it is demonstrated that the commonly-held view that water-washing of a certain header caused the disaster is physically impossible. Evidence is presented which indicates that direct water entry into the methyl isocyanate storage tank was the likely initiating cause of the Bhopal disaster. I. INTRODUCTION In the aftermath of a major accident or incident in the chemical industry, it is common practice to ascertain the cause of the event through an investigation. If the magnitude of the incident is very large in terms of its impact on people, property, or the environment, it is not uncommon to assemble several teams of investigators to seek the cause of the incident independently. In the United States, a large-magnitude event may be investigated by the company that owns the facility, the insurance group that provides the liability coverage, federal investigators (e.g., OSHA, EPA), and state and local regulatory agencies.
