<p>A method for processing or 'inerting' waste from certain medical sources which may contain hazardous germs. An apparatus is provided on-site for storing the waste as soon as it is produced, completely biologically inerting the waste mass by melting it, compacting the waste and conditioning it in an expendable container. The apparatus essentially consists of a vessel (1) into which the waste is fed via a lock (9), a container (4) secured to the bottom of the vessel, a cover (2) for sealing the space therein, a heater (5) for heating the whole assembly, and complementary devices (10-15) for monitoring the atmosphere in said space and processing the gaseous effluents generated during the inerting process.</p> |
