The core advantages of waste incinerators in medical waste treatment

In the field of medical waste disposal, incineration technology has always held an irreplaceable core position due to its unique comprehensive advantages. Faced with medical waste carrying high-risk pathogens, chemical residues, and sharp instruments, incinerators provide an efficient and reliable ultimate solution.

1、Thoroughly destroy pathogens and block the transmission chain

Hepatitis B virus HIV、 Pathogens such as COVID-19 are extremely dangerous. The incinerator, with a core high temperature of over 850 ° C and deep treatment of flue gas at 1100 ° C in the secondary combustion chamber, can completely decompose microbial protein structures within seconds and eliminate all living pathogens, including stubborn spores. This physical level inactivation method cuts off the risk of disease transmission caused by infectious waste from the root.

2、Significantly reduce capacity and alleviate environmental pressure

After incineration treatment, the volume of medical waste can be reduced by more than 90%, and the weight can be reduced by 70% -80%. This means that a large amount of waste such as bandages, infusion tubes, and pathological tissues are converted into a small amount of stable ash, greatly reducing the demand for landfill sites and alleviating land resource pressure, especially suitable for large-scale medical waste disposal in densely populated areas.

3、Efficient degradation of complex harmful substances

Modern incinerators are equipped with advanced "3T" control systems (high temperature, turbulence, residence time), which can not only decompose organic waste, but also effectively treat drug residues, cytotoxic agents, and chlorinated plastics. By precise control of combustion parameters, combined with rapid cooling technology to block the re synthesis of dioxins, and then deeply treated by a multi-stage purification system (deacidification tower, activated carbon adsorption, bag dust removal), it ensures that the emissions of heavy metals and highly toxic substances such as dioxins are far below international limits.

4、Energy regeneration creates circular value

The cutting-edge incineration plant integrates an energy recovery system that converts combustion heat energy into steam power or electricity. For example, some facilities in Germany provide heating for surrounding communities, while Japanese factories use high-temperature melting technology to vitrify ash and use it as building materials. This "processing power generation utilization" model transforms medical waste from an environmental burden to a sustainable resource, significantly improving economic feasibility.

5、Strong adaptability to deal with complex medical waste

Whether it is infectious dressings, sharp instrument needles, pathological organs, or chemotherapy drugs, incineration technology can be safely disposed of. Rotary kilns and other furnace types have strong tolerance for changes in waste composition and do not require excessive classification and pretreatment. This versatile feature makes it the preferred technology for large-scale epidemic outbreaks (such as the Wuhan emergency incineration project during the new coronation period).
