IT Power India's engineers and health experts have developed the Waste Disposal Unit, a fully WHO-compliant Health Care Waste Management facility with a durable, high efficiency small-scale incinerator at the core. The Unit is manufactured by CREATE and has been installed in Rwanda and Liberia as a cleaner-burning, lower-maintenance alternative to low temperature burners, low-cost brick incinerators and open-pit burning. The product was custom designed to respond to a need outlined to ITPI by PATH, WHO, and UNICEF and is quickly becoming a standard to handle immunization and curative waste for Primary Health Centres in developing countries. Carbon emissions from syringe destruction in this incinerator are reduced by a factor of ten when operators follow best practices burning methods (600 deg C to 900 deg C temperature and clear smoke).
The Ecodas T150 steam autoclave uses temperatures of 138°C and pressures of around 3,8 bar that produces sterile fragments that are discharged from the bottom of the machine and can be disposed of in a conventional landfill site.
The DD-Best continuous feed double chamber incinerator has devised in Indonesia by a local NGO. This SSI (Small Scale Incinerator) is currently installed in over a dozen HCFs. Fuel used is biomass (typically coconut husks).
