Situation \/ Problem<\/h4>\n

Lack of safe disposal of medical waste in Ethiopia, resulting in increased disease and pollution.<\/p>\n

Hard to reach and lack of technical expertise locally.<\/p>\n

Solution<\/h4>\n

8 Glosfume 440 element filter systems fitted with mineral elements<\/p>\n

Benefits<\/h4>\n

Systems are able to be transported in standard shipping container<\/p>\n

Removed all emissions from gas stream<\/p>\n

Utilisation of heat to be used in nearby processes including sterilisation of medical equipment<\/p>\n

Results<\/h4>\n

A UK based incinerator manufacturer<\/strong><\/a> required the use of Glosfume hot gas filters to remove particulate and toxic emissions from eight medical waste incinerators provided to the United Nations for installation in Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

The Glosfume filter systems supplied were all standard 440 element pods fitted with mineral elements and a double hot gas filtration pod for the final larger incinerator.\u00a0 The filters were all built in 2018 with all filtration equipment factory tested (FAT) before containerised shipping with the incinerators to Ethiopia. The system was successfully transported, installed and commissioned on site enabling the safe disposal of medical waste whilst enabling sterilisation of medical equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
