Abstract

This research paper presents the results of determining the amount of thermal energy generated during the treatment of hazardous medical infectious waste and sharp objects by steam sterilization. By destroying microorganisms, infectious waste becomes municipal waste. The methods used in the work are: Bowie-Dick test, Biostrip, Tachograph, survey, and calculation. The results investigate the possibility of obtaining combined systems for energy and district heating and cooling from medical waste by plasma gasification for the needs of integrated waste management in the City of Niš.
