Medical Waste Incineration

Envitech is the leading supplier of medical waste incinerator scrubbers. The Envitech system is a multi-pollutant system that complies with new the EPA NEHSHAP MACT Standards. These standards are some of the most stringent emission limits for toxic air pollutants found in industry today. Envitech’s experience includes more than 25 medical waste incinerator scrubbers. Many medical waste incinerators are single sites that process waste generated at specific hospitals or research institutes. These systems have throughput capacities ranging from 300 to 1,500 lb/hr. Other systems are commercial sites that process medical waste from multiple sources and have much higher throughput capacities.
