13 <br />NAM <br />.1-PAK <br />Inc. <br />With today's ever increasing problem of environ- <br />mental pollution, the disposal of solid waste material <br />has become a growing concern of medical in- <br />stitutions. <br />As a portion of this material is infectious waste, <br />Lprevious means of disposal have been limited to in- <br />cineration. Operating as such, under the ever in- <br />creasing air quality standards being set forth by <br />Federal, State and County agencies, many of these <br />facilities have reached an unacceptable level of <br />discharge. <br />This coupled with the rising concern over energy, <br />we at San -I -Pak were prompted to develop a new <br />solution to these two growing problems. <br />Using a sterilization process, we are able to <br />decontaminate the infectious waste, allowing it to be <br />mixed with the general solid waste, which is then <br />compacted and rendered suitable for land fill. This is <br />? accomplished with a fraction of the energy and cost <br />required to operate an incinerator. This also <br />eliminates the air pollution problem. <br />The Unit is fully automated. Once the material is <br />placed into disposal unit, all sterilization, compaction <br />and transfer into Compactor Container is done inter- <br />nally by mechanical means, thus eliminating any fur- <br />ther handling by personnel. <br />All operations require key start for safety, <br />assuring only authorized personnel access. <br />High compactor force assures high density <br />reduction of most types of solid waste, therefore, <br />storage space is reduced and kept cleaner and safer. <br />SAN-I-PAK inc.
