Medical Waste Company: Medical Waste Treatment

A-Thermal (Pty) Ltd / A-Thermal  / Medical Waste Company: Medical Waste Treatment

Medical Waste Company: Medical Waste Treatment

In medical waste management, precision and safety are paramount. A-Thermal stands out as a leading medical waste company, specialising in the treatment of hazardous and non-hazardous medical waste through both burn and non-burn technologies. Our comprehensive services ensure the safe and effective disposal of various types of healthcare risk waste (HCRW), including anatomical waste, gloves and masks, isolation waste, and infectious and sharps waste. With a commitment to environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance, A-Thermal provides reliable solutions that meet the highest standards of safety and efficiency.

Medical Waste Treatment Solutions

At A-Thermal, we understand that different types of medical waste require tailored treatment approaches. Our dual-faceted approach involves both burn and non-burn technologies to address the diverse needs of our clients. Each method is carefully selected based on the type and volume of waste, ensuring that all materials are treated in the most appropriate manner.

Burn Technology

Our burn technology utilises high-temperature incineration to effectively eliminate hazardous medical waste. This method is particularly suited for waste streams such as anatomical waste and infectious materials. The incineration process not only ensures the complete destruction of harmful pathogens but also reduces the waste volume significantly, turning it into ash that is safely disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations.

Non-Burn Technology

For waste types that require alternative treatment methods, A-Thermal employs advanced non-burn technologies. These methods include autoclaving and chemical disinfection, which are ideal for treating waste such as gloves and masks, isolation waste, and sharps. Autoclaving uses steam under pressure to sterilise and neutralise contaminants, while chemical disinfection involves the use of specialised chemicals to deactivate pathogens. Both techniques are effective in ensuring that medical waste is rendered safe for disposal.

Treating Various HCRW Streams

A-Thermal’s expertise extends to handling a wide range of healthcare risk waste (HCRW) streams. Each type of waste poses unique challenges, and our services are designed to address these with precision and care.

  • Anatomical Waste: This category includes human tissues and body parts that require meticulous handling and disposal. Our burn technology ensures that anatomical waste is completely incinerated, eliminating any risk of disease transmission and reducing the waste to minimal ash.
  • Gloves and Masks: Often considered less hazardous, gloves and masks still require proper treatment to prevent cross-contamination. Our non-burn methods, such as autoclaving, effectively sterilise these items, making them safe for disposal or recycling.
  •  Isolation Waste: Generated from patients with contagious diseases, isolation waste must be handled with utmost care. We use both burn and non-burn technologies to ensure that isolation waste is treated thoroughly, safeguarding against potential infection risks.
  • Infectious and Sharps Waste: Infectious waste, including contaminated materials and sharps, poses significant risks to health and safety. Our comprehensive treatment approach includes high-temperature incineration and chemical disinfection to neutralise hazards and render the waste safe for disposal.
