A compact ‘energy from waste’ solution, claimed to enable hospitals to turn their clinical waste streams into heat, has been unveiled by ‘green technology specialist’, DPS Global.
The ‘ST Series’ technology involves staged and separated pyrolysis and gasification of healthcare wastes to produce small amounts of ash and heat. DPS Global says this enables hospitals to utilise their waste as a substitute for fossil fuels, thereby reducing CO2 emissions and heating bills by up to £100,000 per annum, ‘dependent on feed volumes’.
