2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The concern about disposal of infectious waste generated by the hospitals is increasing rapidly due to the fear of the spread of viruses such as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and Hepatitis B. These waste (bio-medical




waste generated from health care establishments) present a high risk of causing potential damage to the human health and the environment by way of

spreading. To prevent the spread of such infectious waste that finds its genesis in bio-medical waste (from hospitals, clinics, laboratories, dispensaries etc.) a

scientific approach is required. From the beginning it is essential that professionally trained personnel should handle the waste.

Considering health indicator, Jharkhand is lagging behind when compared with other states of India. Being a predominantly tribal (31 tribal groups with distinct dialects and 9 primitive tribes) and forested state there are many

factors contributing to the poor health status including poverty, poor infrastructure, high morbidity and other health problems Jharkhand is a state

with tough geographical terrain with hilly and difficult to reach areas. Most of the tribal villages have very poor transportation and communication infrastructure. Most of the hospitals in the state do not have adequate

arrangement for disposal of the hospital waste.

Keeping in view the difficulties faced by private Hospitals, Nursing Homes and Clinics that cannot make their own arrangements due to high cost involved in Treatment facilities, there was need for centralized system for treatment. Later

on, in September 2003, the Central Pollution Control Board had made the guidelines for “Common bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facility” in order to discourage the individual incineration facility by health care establishments

and strengthening CBWTF system.

It is roughly estimated that about 1.3 to 2.0 kg/bed/day of total solid waste are generated from health care institutions of which 15 to 20% are infectious biomedical waste.

The present proposal is to utilize 1.0 acre of land for setting up of Biomedical Waste Treatment Facility at Lohardaga Industrial Area, Lohardaga District, Jharkhand.

3. IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT

3.1 Identification of Project The Proposed project of Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facility falls under

Category B, schedule 7(da) as per the EIA notification 14th Sep, 2006

Mobile: +91- 9810632693 4. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT

A Common Bio-medical Waste Treatment Facility (CBWTF) is a set up

where bio-medical waste, generated from a number of healthcare units, is suitably treated to reduce adverse effects that this waste may pose. The treated waste may finally be sent for disposal in a secured landfill or for

recycling purposes. Proposed project of setting up of the Common Bio-medical Waste Treatment

Facility includes Incinerator, Autoclave, Shredder, Storage and Effluent Treatment Facility.

5. NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND STATE

Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEFCC), Govt. of India has notified the Bio-Medical Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1998. In

accordance to the rule, every occupier of a Health Care Establishment (HCE) shall either set up requisite bio-medical waste treatment facilities on site or ensure requisite treatment of the bio-medical waste at an approved Common

Biomedical Waste Treatment Facility. No untreated bio-medical waste shall be kept stored beyond a period of 48 hours.

Considering health indicator, Jharkhand is lagging behind when compared with other states of India. Being a predominantly tribal (31 tribal groups with

distinct dialects and 9 primitive tribes) and forested state there are many factors contributing to the poor health status including poverty, poor infrastructure, high morbidity and other health problems Jharkhand is a state

with tough geographical terrain with hilly and difficult to reach areas. Most of the tribal villages have very poor transportation and communication

infrastructure. Most of the hospitals in the state do not have adequate arrangement for disposal of the hospital waste.

6. DEMAND –SUPPLY GAP




Medicare Environmental Management pvt.ltd Ltd. has proposed to put up the CBWTF at Lohardaga Industrial Area, Lohardaga District, Jharkhand was

identified to cover waste generated in Lohardaga Zone in the state of Jharkhand and other adjoining districts (Ranchi, Gumla, Simdega, Latehar,

Daltonganj, Khunti) radius of 150 K.M (from this facility, having 30,000 beds approx. This is supported by the fact that currently there is no proper treatment facility with sufficient infrastructure for the scientific treatment of

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS 9.1 Components of Integrated Bio-Medical Waste Management

An integrated waste management system for bio-medical waste must look into various stages of the process. These key components can be broadly classified into the following:

Waste Segregation: Waste segregation will reduce the load of bio-medical

waste from about 2kgs/bed-day to about 0.2kgs/bed-day considering metropolitan cities and about 0.160Kg/bed/day in village/remote cities and this also minimize the environmental impacts associated with further

processing. Waste will have to be segregated into domestic refuse, hazardous waste and infectious waste separately.

Further the infectious waste will have to be segregated into plastics, metals, and other infectious waste generated. Segregation is done effectively if performed at source. CPCB has issued clear guidelines for colour coded

segregation.




Waste Collection and Transport: Facility / unit have to ensure that there are no environmental or human health impacts while collecting &

transporting Bio-Medical waste.

Treatment/ Storage/ Disposal: Treatment/ Storage and disposal of the waste have various options available. Waste treatment can be effectively performed by two operations running

parallel to each other: A Disinfecting Unit

A Disinfecting unit is one that will effectively kill all the microorganisms. Autoclaving, Microwaving, Hydroclaving and Chemical disinfection processes

are the most prevalent technologies used for disinfection of pathogens from the bio-medical waste.

Autoclave used for the purpose of bio-medical waste management is expected to be dedicated for the purpose and is expected to operate under standards

specified by CPCB. Medical Waste shall not be considered treated unless the time, temperature and pressure indicated in the standards are reached (for eg. 1210 C, 15 psi for 1 hour for normal autoclave).

Microwave and Hydroclave disinfection units are similar in application to that of an autoclave. Microwave technology cannot be applied for cytotoxins,

hazardous or radioactive waste, contaminated animal carcasses, body parts and large metal items. Microwave should completely and consistently kill the

bacteria and other microorganisms. Chemical disinfection is a process of disinfection wherein chemical disinfectants like chlorine and its derivatives or their disinfectants are used in

a closed process to attain complete killing of the pathogens. A Destruction Unit

A Destruction unit is one that will completely destroy the waste into safe end products. High temperature incinerators are used to achieve this.

Incineration is a process by which combustible materials are burnt, producing combustion gases and non-combustible residue and ash. The combustible gases are vented into the air after treatment through air pollution control

devices. Ash and other non-combustible residue remain after the destruction/ incineration process is disposed off securely into a landfill site.

Waste Storage Waste Storage is an applicable option for effective storage of certain hazardous

waste like mercury and cytotoxins that do not have a cost-effective treatment technology as yet. Waste Disposal is primary performed by deep burial of waste into secure landfills.




Waste disposal Waste disposal is an option which remains to exist irrespective of the

treatment options, in case of disinfection waste material post-disinfection needs to be land filled and in case of incineration the non-combustible residue

and ash needs to be disposed off into a landfill and thus landfill remains to be an integral part of an integrated bio-medical waste management facility.

9.2 Process Description M/s Medicare Environmental Management Pvt. Ltd. Proposed to establish an Integrated Common Bio-medical Waste Treatment Facility includes

Incinerator, Autoclave, Shredder and Effluent Treatment Plant.

9.3 Treatment Technology Incineration This is a high temperature thermal process employing combustion of the

waste under controlled condition for converting it into inert material and gases. Incinerators can be oil fired or electrically powered or a combination of

both. Broadly, three types of incinerators are used for biomedical waste: multiple hearth type, rotary kiln and controlled air types. All the types have primary and secondary combustion chambers to ensure optimal combustion.

These are refractory lined. In the multiple hearth incinerators, solid phase combustion takes place in the primary chamber whereas the secondary chamber is for gas phase

combustion. These are referred to as excess air incinerators because excess air is present in both the chambers.

Thus the waste is incinerated in two stages i.e. the primary chamber and the secondary combustion chamber which are positioned adjacent to each other. The flue gases then passes through the high pressure drop Venturi Scrubber,

droplet separator and are let out to atmosphere via ID fan and chimney. The Primary Combustion Chamber operates under near pyrolytic condition where the wastes are decomposed & all volatiles are released. The substrate

remaining gets converted into sterile ash. The volatiles released from the Primary Combustion Chamber are then completely burnt in the Secondary

Combustion Chamber under high temperature & excess air. Air Pollution Control Device (APCD)

The gases after being burnt at 1050oC shall be run into a ventury scrubber followed by a flooded scrubber with water quenching arrangement. The

scrubber shall be an alkaline scrubber to neutralise the gases and ensure trapping of any pollutants escaping into the environment. The purpose of water quenching is to reduce the temperature of the gases which are at high

temperature. The clean gases are let out into the environment. The scrubbed water shall be collected into a sump, where the water is neutralised, and then sent into a cooling tower from where the water is recirculated into the

scrubber after cleaning them of their particulates by way of pressure sand




filter and activated carbon filter. The system is thus a zero discharge system in terms of water discharges and is pollution free.

Autoclave

An autoclave is a specialized piece of equipment designed to deliver 1210 C temperature under 15 psi pressures to a chamber, with the goal of decontaminating or sterilizing the contents of the chamber. Decontamination

is the reduction of contamination to a level where it is no longer a hazard to people or the environment. MEDICARE intends to establish an autoclave with above principle. To ensure

safety and quality control, all bio-hazardous materials and items contaminated with potentially infectious agents should be decontaminated

before use or disposal. Such items include, but are not limited to: culture media, surgical instruments, laboratory equipment, glassware, and biomedical waste including sharps.

Shredder

Shredding is a process by which waste are de-shaped or cut into smaller pieces so as to make the waste unrecognizable. Shredder has non- corrosive sharp blades capable for shredding of plastic waste, sharps, bottles,

needles, tubing’s, and other general waste. The low speed two shaft systems is effective for shredding hard and solid waste. MEDICARE intends to establish a Shredder, thus rendering the waste free

from infection. The dis-infected waste shall then be segregated into HDPE, PP, rubber, latex, glass and metal. The segregated materials shall then be

shredded completing the process of dis-infection and ensuring non-recycling of the waste materials for medical/ food grade purposes.
