Hospital Waste
Treat macerated wastes before discharging to the city sewer.
A new need for wastewater disinfection has been developing in hospital isolation wards, part of an overall concern regarding the treatment and disinfection of all hospital wastewater. This is being triggered by the SARS scare, bird flu, and especially by bio-terrorism concerns.
MIOX technology is currently in use servicing two isolation wards at the Warsaw Communicable Disease Hospital and treating all sewage from the hospital in Konin in Poland. The macerated wastes are treated with on-site generated mixed oxidants before being discharged to the city sewer.
The advantages are as follows:
- Microbial concerns are eliminated due to the superior efficacy of the MIOX disinfectant.
- Biogrowth is prevented.
- Hazardous disinfection chemicals are eliminated.
- The chlorine dosing requirements are typically reduced.
- A specific dosage rate can be set and only the rate of injection will vary with the flow.
- Operating and maintenance costs are often lower than with chlorine gas and bulk hypochlorite systems.

that mixed oxidants can replace chloramination, maintaining chlorine residuals in dead end lines and reducing TTHM formation by up to 50%?
