Medical wastes are classified as hazardous wastes and they should be handled immediately where they are produced. For this purpose, SANTES undertakes the design and manufacturing of medical waste incineration systems which are the most technological and feasible ways of disposing medical waste. The capacity of the incinerators may range from 25 kg/hr to 5000 kg/hr.
Medical wastes that can be incinerated include:
Infectious wastes from hospitals,
Healthcare wastes from hospitals, clinics and polyclinics,
Wastes from maternity hospitals,
Expired drugs,
Surgery wastes,
Biomedical wastes,
Pathological wastes,
Pharmaceutical wastes.
