Hospital & Clinical Waste
Systems for treatment of hospital and clinical waste include:
high-temperature controlled combustion;
gasification and pyrolysis;
steam sterilisation (generally under pressure in an autoclave); and
microwaving.

a rotary kiln;
a stepped hearth;
a pulsating grate; or
a fluidised bed.
