Dear Colleagues, Below please find information on newly devised incineratorfor healthcare waste and immunization waste developed by healthcare wasteexpert in Tanzania. The incinerator has the following features coupled together: 1) High tech chamber with burner(s), operated at 900C 2) Gas cooler, used to generate hot water for patients andhospital use (sanitation in theaters, use in laundry, and sluice room) 3) Flue Gas cleaning facility developed for incineratorsand other fuel and waste combustion systems after a research for 6 years atUniversity of dare s Salaam. The technology has been in development since 2003 and it hasproved perfect for use in rather congested areas without smoke problems, whichhas been a nuisance for many years. The technology is suited for different purposes, lab waste,chemical waste, injection waste, and can be made mobile or fixed. The progress of development was a collaborative work betweenWHO-Dar (EPI), MoH Dar, and University of Dar es Salaam. We will post more information as time allows, to informinterested parties. For those who are interested and have questions about thistechnology, please contact the founder and pioneer of the technology: Prof. Samwel V. Manyele University of dare s Salaam Department of Chemical and process Engineering, P.O. box 35131, dare s Salaam, Tanzania +255 716 941 061 +255 784 860 944 __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4105 (20090526) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com

Would appreciate more information on the high-tech incinerator, specifically the cost, capacity and materials. Is this being developed in parallel to the autoclave/scrubber project? Thank you for further background you can provide and best regards for your good work, Marcia Rock ([[email protected]][email protected][/email])
