Description
Unit Size: Each
The SW440 is the ideal waste treatment solution for institutions producing large quantities of biohazardous waste, as it can treat 880 L/h (or up to 70 kg/h, with a density of 1 L=0.1 kg) of waste with minimal operating costs. Average cycle time 30 to 32 mins.Biohazardous waste is sterilised using microwaves and converted into inert municipal waste, reducing its volume by more than 80% and its weight by 25%. Its environmental impact and operating costs are reduced while ensuring the safety of the operator. As it uses microwave technology, the Sterilwave does not need a steam generator, so there is no risk from excess pressure and no liquid effluent is produced. Its easy installation requires only 20 m² of space for safe treatment of large quantities of biomedical waste. The result is a stable and dry final waste product that can be used as an RDF combustible (Refused Derived Fuel)BERTIN TECHNOLOGIES currently offers 3 models: STERILWAVE SW100 series, SW250 series and SW440 series to accommodate the requirements of any hospital size in order to optimize the return on investment.
• Bacterial inactivation higher than international regulatory standards (up to 8 log_10, independently tested by the Pasteur Institute).
• Competitive investment for its lowest cost per Kg of waste and short payback period.
• No environmental impact as on-site treatment technology
• No transportation (reduced carbon footprint)
• No emission, No liquid effluent rejected, No waste of water.
• Waste weight reduction by up to 25%.
• Waste volume reduction by up to 85%.
• Microwave technology – No pressurization required unlike in an autoclave set up
• No segregation: Sterilwave is suitable for all types of biomedical waste (needles, glass, solids, liquids, etc)
• No need for specific construction works or additional infrastructure.
• No need for special transport requirements of final waste.
• Low operational costs (low energy consumption, no water, no steam, less than 10 minutes of operator time required per cycle).
• Final waste is dry, inert, stable, unrecognizable, sterilized and recyclable with high calorific power. Can be associated as Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) product.
• Robust equipment - No more storage, easy to maintain.
• Only requires electricity supply.
• Real time monitoring and efficiency control.
• Eliminates risk of exposure to staff during storage, no intermediate handling.
• Safe and full automated process (loading, sterilizing, transfer) in a closed and compact system.
• Easy to install (stand alone module). Minimal installation requirements.
• Easy to relocate.
• Unlike autoclave technologies which consume a large quantity of water, the Sterilwave's microwave technology produces only dry final waste material. As a result, odours linked to the treatment of biomedical waste are minimised when compared to other procedures. Additional odour reducing solution available
