Microwave Based Biomedical Waste Disinfection System

A Clean and Safe Method

Cusen Environmental Systems, Bangalore,India

The Problem

Around 420 tons/day of Medical waste generated in India 50% goes untreated in non metro cities and small towns and ends up in landfills Causing Injuries, infections and spread of epidemicsLack of availability of low cost and easy to use clean solution 50% of Health-care facilities in India do not have access to biomedical disinfection facility **Biomedical waste regulations,India (1998)----> Non ComplianceSimilar Problem in Africa,South America etc.

* 90000 deaths in US and 25000 deaths in Europe caused by Nosocomial infections (hospital infections) ** CPCB & IIML Study (May 2010)

Our SolutionLow cost Microwave Based Hospital Waste Disinfection SystemMW disinfect medical waste without the need of incineration Advantages

Low cost (Initial Investment and Operating)No Air or water pollutionWaste generated is highly suitable for recyclingEntry level model @ $10,000 compared to $60,000 for imported systemsVery high level of sterilization We offer a Low cost and clean solution to treat infected waste at source and help hospitals comply with regulations1/10th cost of imported system and 1/10th operating cost of alternatives like Autoclave

Market size (India)

The market for biomedical waste disinfection systems has been estimated at 200 million $ in India (http://www.kleanindustries.com)

According to a Study by Central Pollution Control Board and IIM Lucknow (India) No of Hospitals and other health care centers : 85000about 45000 Hospitals don't have any form of Medical waste disinfection systems

if 20 % of hospitals adopt our technology : There is a market for 9000 systems or (9000 x 10000$ ) = 100 million $ (indian market)

This sector is growing at 16-20% annually.

BUSINESS MODEL

Validation : EOI from hospitals for about 10 Systems and one common treatment facility.

Sell Systems Directly to Hospitals, Clinics,Diagnostic centers, Dialysis Centers and Blood Banks.Systems for Waste Management Contractors such as Procesan in chile Truck Mounted SystemsAdditional revenue source from Shredders and CompactorsHospital Waste Management Consulting

COMPETITION

There is still no existing Indian manufacturer of MW SystemsFirst To MarketImported Systems from Europe cost 10X compared to our system.Design,Technology and process can be patented.Collaboration with MS Ramiah Hospitals ,Which is a nodal agency to implement a 40 million USD project from UNIDO to implement CleanTech based Waste Management across five Indian states.

Comparition with Alternative Technology

Autoclave

Low productivityPollution and contamination of water Needs steam generator and rejects polluted and contaminated water Huge Assemblyodor and atmospheric pollutionPressurized vessel; risk of explosion; needs public authorization and specialized manpower

Microwave technology

high productivityNo water pollution or contaminationEasy to Assemble and installNo Atmospheric PollutionNO Pressure : Safe to operateCan be operated with minimum trainingoutput :Very dry: no water Product easy to recycle competitive investment for high productivity and low operating cost.
