TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES

Effluent Treatment Plant :

A suitable ETP shall be installed to ensure that liquid effluent generated during the process of wasting containers, vehicles, floors, ETC. is treated and reused after treatment . ETP should have required treatment unit operation comprising at least collection tank, O&G trap, chemical dosing,coagulation chamber, 10 primary setting tank biological treatment process,secondary settling tank, pressure filter and activated carbon filter so as to comply with the regulatory discharge standards stipulated under the BMW(Management&Handling)rules 1998 and amendments made thereof. ETP should also be fitted with pH level of treated water as well as pH level of treated water used for the purpose of recycling in APCD attached with the incinerator or any utility the CBWTF.

Autoclave :

The autoclave carries out that exact function of sterilizing materials. It is a machine that uses pressure and steam to reach and maintain a temperature that is too high for any microorganisms or their spores to live. Microorganisms are what most people commonly refer to as germs. These are the bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, etc. that are able to cause infections in our bodies. Spores are the environment-resistant form of the microorganisms. Even though they are able to withstand harsher conditions, they still can be killed if extreme conditions are maintained for an extended period of time.

Once an autoclave is started, steam is pushed into the chamber that contains the items that are being sterilized. As the steam goes in, the pressure and temperature within the chamber is increased. Most autoclaves are set to increase steam pressure until a temperature of at least 121 degrees Celsius is reached (about 250 degrees Fahrenheit). In this temperature and pressure of 15 Psi microorganisms are completely destroyed and thus render the wastes infection free.
