VV Incin Services primary goal is to provide quality service to our customers and at the same time overcome the perils of biomedical waste management and save the environment from pollution by scientific disposal of biomedical waste.
Our vision is to be one of the leading Enterprise Group in Waste Management. The quality and professional approach in our service makes us number one to our customers.
Segregation is the separation of different types of waste by sorting or the systemic separation of Bio-medical waste into designated categories.
Significance:
It is the most important step in the entire process of Bio-medical waste management as it needs special attention to be given to the relatively small quantities of infectious and hazardous waste, thereby reducing not only the risks but also the cost of handling, treatment and disposal.
For example if general waste gets mixed with infectious wastes the whole waste has to be incinerated which may prove to be costly.
According to WHO reports 80% of the Bio-medical wastes are general wastes which are not infectious. 15% are infectious wastes but not hazardous and the rest 5% of wastes are hazardous and infectious. If the 20% of infectious wastes are not segregated properly from the
general wastes, the whole general wastes are also converted into infectious wastes.
The highly infectious medical waste collected from the source of generation in appropriate
colour coded liner bags are incinerated at the facility in the state of the art incinerator. The
incineration is done as per the guidelines set up the by Pollution Control Board authorities.
An incinerator carries out complete combustion of carbon-containing compounds.
Complete combustion takes place in the presence of fuel and air.
The fuel provides heat energy to attain incineration temperature and air provides oxygen for
combustion. In some cases, the waste itself provides heat energy. Incineration is a process
where the combustible waste is reduced to exhaust gaseous products and the incombustible
waste is reduced to ash. The nature of gaseous emissions and ash from an incinerator depend
upon the type of waste being incinerated and incineration conditions. Incineration is effective
when the waste is combustible.
The infectious waste generated and collected from HCE’s are sterilized from infections before
shredding and disposal. The sterilization process is done using an autoclave with steam as the
medium of sterilization. Autoclave set up in our facility meets all the specifications set up by the
authorities.
Autoclaving is a time-tested process of sterilization of medical waste using high temperature
and high-pressure steam. Effective sterilization results in the destruction of bacteria, viruses,
spores, fungi and other pathogenic microorganisms.
One of the major reasons for spreading of infections from biomedical waste is reusing of waste discarded by the HCE's. To avoid such infections, the autoclaved medical waste categories are shredded to pieces before being disposed or recycled.
Shredders are used to destroy plastic and paper waste to prevent their reuse. Only waste that is disinfected should be used in a shredder. The function of a shredder is to mutilate the already disinfected waste.
The infected water that is generated during schrubbing process of incineration, autoclaving process, floor wash and vehicle sterilization process are collected at the Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) for disinfection and treatment.
The water is treated using various tube settlers and filters and then reused for gardening purpose. The sludge collected is taken to the secured landfill area for disposal. This ensures that pollution from any of the above treatment process does not get into the surroundings.
All the solid wastes arising in the premises shall be disposed in the form of a secured land filling to ensure non-contamination of soil and ground water. All the sharps and disinfected wastes will be stored in deep pits, later on will be loaded in the Barrels mixed with Cement, Sand proportionately and closed air tight and the same will be sent to TSDF.
Deep pits specially designed as per the PCB norms, till it is closed without affecting the ground water. Waste subjected to land filling shall be compacted in thin layers using landfilling compactors to achieve high density of water.
