Portable, point-of-servicedestruction of hospital wastes, eliminating incineration. Oven dimensions are close to those of kitchen microwaves. Each lab can have its own microwave remediator, just like having its own photocopier or shredder.
Unique techniques use proprietary microwave enhancers.
Treatment of mixed wastes (sharps, disposable scalpels) and all types of wastes (paper, plastic, bandages, blood wastes) without separation.
No hazardous or harmful materials of any kind. Open systems at ambient pressure.
Microwave ashing, with microwave enhancers that generate temperatures of 1500 C in minutes also available. No harmful fumes.
Volume reduction to < 5% of original waste volume.
Wastes can be disposed of in standard trash bins, or packaged and sent out for landfill.
Low power (1 KW or less), rapid (< 10 minutes) remediation of 20 L (5 gallon) or larger volumes.
Demonstrated to be extremely effective against even the hardiest spores: Our work for the U.S. Marine Corps showed that spores such as those of Bacillus cereus which were unaffected by over 20 min microwave exposure @ 700 W were destroyed in 3 min @ 700 W using our proprietary microwave enhancers.
Remediation techniques also demonstrated for Biological Warfare (BW) agent models. Successfully implemented for the U.S. Marine Corps.
