Pyrolysis of medical waste and the pyro gas combustion system

This report reviews the different types of medical waste and associated medical waste generation data by geographic regions. Incineration methods and non-incineration methods, together with their associated technologies, are reviewed in detail. Among all the methods, pyrolysis technologies are, in principle, technically and politically attractive due to less pollution and toxic products emissions as compared to other methods (especially traditional incineration methods). In this report, the data are organized and analyzed from a series of pyrolysis tests carried out by KTH according to a technology concept developed by Bioincendia AB.   A combustion system for the pyro gas treatment is built based on the small-scale induction pyrolysis machine. The concept of the pyro gas combustion system is expressed through the block diagram and the boundary conditions are estimated according to the test data and the literature. The result of theoretical calculation indicates the boundary conditions of system are in reasonable range. The critical parameters of heat exchange unit increase the building of whole system.
