COMMON BIO-MEDICAL WASTE TREATMENT FACILITY

Hospital wastes have always been considered potentially hazardous in view of the inherent potential for dissemination of infection. The major identified hazard was that of infection because over millennia communicable diseases had been the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in the community and the majority of persons receiving treatment in the hospitals were suffering from communicable diseases. Disinfecting right at source and disposal by incineration, which completely destroys micro-organisms of all types, has been the time-tested and most widely advocated method for the safe management of hospital waste.

In this background in persuasion to the directive of The Court, the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India notified the Bio-Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rule on 27th July 1998; under the provision of Environment Protection Act 1986. Accordingly, all the hospitals in the public and private sectors are now bound to follow these rules to evade legal action. It regulated the disposal of biomedical wastes and lays down the procedures for collection treatment and disposal and standards to be complied with. These rules apply to all persons, who generate, collect, receive store, transport, and treat or handle biomedical wastes in any form. Biomedical wastes mean any waste, which is generated during the diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of human beings or animals or in research activities, etc.

According to Bio-Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rule – 1998 & 2016, all the bio-medical waste shall be treated and disposed according to the rule with the help of requisite bio-medical waste treatment facilities like incinerator, autoclave, microwave system for the treatment of waste, or, ensure requisite treatment of waste at a common waste treatment facility or any other waste treatment facility. It is a well-known fact that the establishment of such facilities individually is beyond the capacity of even small or medium hospitals and nursing homes. Further, it appears cost-effective to establish one large facility, rather than establishing multiple small facilities.

Under such a situation, Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences – Patna has come out with a proposal to establish a Comprehensive Hospital Waste Management System in accordance with the provisions made in the Bio-Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rule – 1998 for the care of hospital waste generated by Hospital / Nursing Home, etc. operating from Patna municipal area as well as neighboring districts for treatment.

INCINERATOR SYSTEM (CAPACITY: 5 Ton per day; 2 x 250 Kgs/hr.); AUTOCLAVE SYSTEM (CAPACITY: 2 Ton per day).; HEAVY DUTY SHREDDER (CAPACITY: 3.3 Tones); EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT (40 KLD); BLODD BAG DESTROYERS; NEEDLE SYRINGE DESTROYERS etc. has been installed and operative since January - 2021 at Village - Ramchak Bairiya, Tehsil - Patna, District - Patna (Bihar) under Public - Private Partnership Mode between Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna and M/s Sangam Mediserve Pvt. Ltd.

The specially designed Incinerator System is one of its kind in the whole state of Bihar and the eastern part of the country. It can incinerate waste at the rate of 250 Kgs. Per hours with a combustion efficiency of 99%. It comprises primary and secondary chambers for the burning of solids. The temperature of the primary chamber will be approx. 850°C and the secondary chamber temperature will be approx. 1050°C at the time of operation. The temperature recorder (Graphically) is attached to monitor the temperature during the process. The height of the stack is above 30 meters from the ground for safe emission of gas residuals. The pollution control device is also attached with the system to achieve emission standards as prescribed in Bio-Medical Waste Management Rule – 2016. The Incinerator is being fired by LPG. The On-Line Monitoring System has been also installed, which is connected with Central Pollution Control Board, Delhi and Bihar State Pollution Control Board, Patna Servers for online monitoring of the various parameters of the Incinerator System as well as stack emission.

The authorization for Collection, Reception, Storage, Transportation, Treatment, and Disposal of bio-medical waste under Bio-Medical Waste Management Rule, 2016 has been obtained from Bihar State Pollution Control Board – Patna.

The complete Hospital Waste Management System installed at Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences – Patna was designed in such a way that it can provide treatment of bio-medical waste generated by Hospital / Nursing Home / Pathological Centre etc. operating in Patna district as well as adjoining areas as per provisions made under Bio-Medical Waste Management Rule - 2016.

Centre & Lab etc. at their premises every day. For above, all the Hospital / Nursing Home / Pathological Laboratory / Diagnostic Centre / Blood bank / OPD Centre / Vet.
