2.5.2 Med burner MBR 172
This propane powered 72 kw unit is rated 12 kg/hr (6 safety boxes/hr). General cycle is to preheat < 30 min, incinerate < 40 min, pause approx 10 min, incinerate < 40 min, cool-off to 200 °C requiring from 30 - 60 min. A unit was tested by Oulu University Energy Laboratory (Finland) in three tests using medical wastes, batch loads from 1.9 to 3.2 kg and temperatures at high (780 – 1200 C) and low (530 – 1160 C) ranges. Concentrations of most pollutants (HCl, metals except Pb, Cr, Cd, Tl, and dioxin/furan) in stack gases fell below detection limits (Adama, 2003).
