Elastec MediBurn - Medical Waste Incinerator
Elastec’s MediBurn Medical Waste Incinerator is a batch load, direct fire, mobile incinerator for a variety of applications including medical waste. The unit is one of the lightest in its class, facilitating deployment for virus outbreaks, mission hospitals in remote areas, and disaster relief operations. It does not use cast concrete, rather a layer of fire bricks, that can be easily replaced in the field as needed. Primarily running on diesel, the MediBurn incinerator can also be fueled by heating oil or JP8. It is available in two sizes depending on the volume of waste to be handled.
The modulating under air burners ensure consistent high temperatures needed to destroy infectious waste, whilst retaining the flue gas for sterilization. Simply load waste into the chamber, close the door and turn on the unit. Minimal training is required and the waste incinerator is ready to use upon delivery. It has been used with great success in eliminating medical waste during Ebola outbreaks. It is also able to destroy medical waste from other viral outbreaks like Coronavirus (COVID-19).
According to estimations, one hospital bed can generate between 13 lbs. (5.8 Kg) and 23 lbs. (10.4 Kg) of medical waste per day. Thermal treatment of infectious medical waste is the ideal solution for hospital waste management. Illegal dumping severely affects the environment and syringes and other waste can end up on beaches, in the ocean, in rivers and other bodies of water. The proper destruction of this waste with incineration helps prevent the spread of infectious diseases like Ebola or the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
MediBurn incinerates everything from medical waste to animal remains with clean emissions. The incinerator’s small footprint makes it easy to fit in facilities with limited space. Its portability and simple installation offers the flexibility for relocation. This medical waste incinerator is easy to operate and requires minimal training.
Both models of Mediburn offer modulating burners and under-air technology. They also offer electronic controls for improved safety and system control. Multi-language support is available.
