Newster System S.r.l. products

Sanifyco-19 is a modular pre-assembled unit in a shipping container that employs two well-established Newster patented processes: Frictional Heat Treatment and Safe Water Treatment. It consists of a 20 ft/6 m x 2.4 m container that houses a NW5 or NW15 machine for the treatment of medical solid waste and a 40 ft/12 m x 2.4 m container that contains a SWT machine for the treatment of infectious sewage water. Each container is equipped with electricity and water supply connections as well as drain and exhaust pipes and guarantees start-up and operation within 24 hours of arrival. Once treated, the solid waste is no longer infectious and can be disposed as urban waste while the wastewaters can be discharged into the public sewage system.

Newster Green-Go consists of an NW5 incapsulated in a field transport trolley, which can be parachuted as well. Its special shock-absorbing feet resist sudden movement and avoid accidental overturn. The system can also be transported by helicopter with a barycentric hook. The mobile sterilization unit is equipped for quick installation for emergency situations and is suitable for the amount of waste generated by 150 beds.

The  plant is designed for on-site installation in urban hospitals, hospitals lacking connection to sewerage systems and civil water treatment plants. The disinfection system is particulary dedicated to the wastewater of infectious desease wards, operating theatres, ICU and haemodialysis wards. SWT ensures the mechanical treatment and final chemical disinfection of wastewater without producing potentially infectious sludge and harmful compounds thanks to the use of peracetic acid as disinfectant (sodium hypochlorite or chlorine dioxide can be used as well). The plant is completely automatic and does not require continuous supervision. Staff only needs to carry out checks at predefined times and refill the disinfectant tank.

The plant is ideally suited for the needs of large centralized laboratories and external treatment plants. It employs a batch treatment process, whereby a volume of laboratory liquid waste is gathered and treated before it is discharged. The tailor made layout depends on both volume and characteristics of the fluid waste. It uses Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP), the so called Fenton process, which involves the generation of hydroxyl radicals, very powerful non-toxic oxidants that react rapidly with most organic compounds. After fluid neutralization, the solid particles precipitate and are separated from the liquid by an innovative mechanical filter. The plant is fully automated and equipped with industry 4.0 instruments. The on-board programmable logic controller (PLC) can be connected to an internet cloud service through a GSM router to carry out remote control of functions from a PC and monitor cycle statistics.

Newster is a patented technology known worldwide for the treatment of infectious healthcare waste based on high temperature sterilization without the combustion of the material known as Frictional Heat Treatment (FHT). This technology is listed in “Safe Management of wastes from health-care activities” published by WHO World Health Organization as one of the BATs alternative to the incineration of solid healthcare waste that follow the indications of the Stoccolm Convention for persistant organic pollutants. NW 50 treats 100 kg/hr. The temperature of 150 °C is reached during the cycle and maintained during a pre-determined lapse of time to guarantee a high level of sterilization . The treated residue is reduced in volume and weight ; unrecognizable ; dry; odorless ; sterilized . The residue has a high caloric value which makes it suitable for waste to energy plants, allowing to close the loop of the circular economy.
