New medical waste treatment method in Korea enters the country

From the “Korean infectious medical waste treatment equipment product promotion promotion conference in China” recently held, a method of using thermal decomposition to dispose of medical wastes is about to enter China. This treatment method will promote the internal Dealing with medical wastes on their own, gradually changing the state that China's medical waste is not disposed of by direct burial or centralized incineration treatment by waste disposal sites, reducing secondary pollution of medical wastes, and reducing the harm to medical wastes on the environment.

Each hospital bed in China produces an average of 1,000 grams of waste per day, a medium-sized city has about 40 to 70 tons of medical waste per day, and a province has as many as 9,600 tons of medical waste per year. With regard to the large amount of medical waste generated every day, the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China has made strict treatment provisions.

At present, China is promoting the establishment of medical waste disposal sites. The hospitals collect medical waste and send it to the disposal site for centralized incineration. However, the use of incineration to treat medical waste results in a large amount of harmful gases of dioxins, and it is prone to secondary pollution during the transportation of medical waste. Therefore, the United States, Japan, and other countries have gradually shifted to hospitals. Dispose of medical waste yourself.

According to Yoon Jung-hyun, director of Plasma Tech Co., Ltd. in Korea, the use of thermal decomposition to treat medical waste is carried out under closed conditions under anaerobic conditions. Therefore, there is less exhaust gas, no harmful gases such as dioxins, etc., and equipment volume Smaller than the incinerator, the equipment costs are relatively low, and maintenance costs are relatively small, so ordinary hospitals can purchase thermal decomposition treatment equipment to dispose of medical waste on their own. As a company that produces "infectious waste disposal equipment", their company believes that this product has a good market prospect in China, which is paying increasing attention to environmental protection.
