Handling COVID-19 waste in the African continent
There has been a spurt of orders for Haat’s incinerators from the African Continent. Orders include two from Uganda, one from Tanzania and one from Nigeria.
The one from Tanzania is for a Gold Mine where hazardous waste (including corona related waste) and general garbage are to be incinerated in our PDR model. The system comprises of primary and secondary chambers with a waste burning capacity of 50 kg/h along with gas cooler, bag filter, acid gas scrubber, demister and 30-m chimney. With such a battery of flue gas treatment equipment, emissions will be extremely low.
The project should have been completed by 31st March 2020, but due to the pandemic, it came to a standstill. Now it is undergoing final assembly, painting and we hope to dispatch this in the coming weeks.
This is not the first order from Tanzania, we have already supplied a few of them the past.
The orders from Uganda are ready to go and will be installed for medical waste. These are our ADR model of 60 kg/h capacity each.
The third system is for our GD model for a small hospital in Nigeria.
The fourth one is a Thermal Oxidizer required to handle vent gases from waste water treatment in Nigeria. This is a DFTO and the project is in the engineering phase.
