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).
Sharps Blaster consists of a computerised sterilisation unit and disposable, four litre metal canisters for sharps or clinical waste. The unit treats the waste canister for up to two and a half hours at temperatures reaching 185°C, sterilising the infectious waste and sealing the canister for safe disposal.
Aegis Bio-Systems has developed JYD-1500, a large mobile treatment system that they sell or offer as a service to health care facilities. The technology handles large volumes, up to 1'100 kg per batch. It has a two-step shredder: the primary shredder destroys containers, buckets, and other large items; the secondary shredder is a 4-ton machine that reduces the waste further at a rate of 680 kg per hour. Waste volume is reduced by 80 percent or more. The shredded material goes to an autoclave chamber that agitates and treats the waste at 121°C (250°F/15 psig). The mobile system is mounted on a truck and can operate in or near the loading dock of a hospital.
