Flocculant based Gelation Solidification Disinfection System for Medical Waste Disposal
Implementing Organization
National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (NIIST)
Project Overview
The flocculant system is capable of instantaneous flocculation/gelation, thereby disinfecting both liquids as well as solid samples, rendering them non-infectious, with 99.9% microbial disinfection. Segregation, transportation, and incineration of such disinfected medical wastes are easier, safer, and decrease medical waste disposal costs for a healthcare facility. Design, testing, and manufacturing details are under discussion with the identified industry partner. A combination of flocculant materials have been identified. Optimized the composition for effective flocculation of fluid samples. Treated microbial cultures showed 99% microbial disinfection.
