4 INTRODUCTION OF COMPANY:- SNG was incorporated in 1997 to do business in the field of environment. In 2000 SNG tied up With an Australian Company called AWS Clinical Waste, one of the leading manufacturer and Operator of Bio Medical Waste management in the world. AWS was exporting there systems all around the globe. SNG tied up with AWS to represent them in India & Bangladesh. In 2001 SNG successfully bid for supply and installation of Bio Medical Waste Management equipments for 3 district hospitals of West Bengal. This tender was floated by Health & Family Welfare Dept. Govt. of West Bengal under a World Bank Project, WBHSDP. These systems were supplied and installed in 3 district hospitals Namely Howrah, Kalyani & Coach Behar. These were the first Bio Medical Waste Treatment System Installed in Eastern India. In 2003 SNG again successfully bid and supplied 11 more systems under the same project. These systems were installed in the District Hospitals of Barasat, Krishnagar, Behrampore, Malda, Siliguri, Jalpaiguri, Suri, Bankura, Purlia, Burdwan and Chinsura. This almost covered whole of Bengal. All the above systems are maintained and operated by SNG for 5 years and then handed over to the Government. All these systems are still operational. In 2003 SNG was instrumental in developing standards and law for managing Infectious waste in Bangladesh on behalf of US Consulate in Kolkata (USAD). In 2005 UP Government, under Health Systems Development Project, funded by World Bank floated tender for setting up 10 centralised facilities in whole of UP, dividing UP into 10 Zones. We participated and was successful got selected for 6 out of 10 Zones for 5 years (till august 2011). These Zones are Allahabad, Agra/Aligarh, Bareilly, Gorekhpur, Kanpur and Varanasi. Accordingly, SNG has set up Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facilities in 6 Zones of UP. Facilities covered 15,000 beds per day and 46 Districts in state of Uttar Pradesh. We have covered approximately 92 Government District Hospitals, 247 Community Health Centres, 532 Block Primary Health Centres and many Private Hospitals/Nursing Homes/Pathologies/Clinics and Laboratories through 70 covered body vehicles according to Central Pollution Control Board s Biomedical Waste Management Handling rules and guidelines.

Ltd., in association with M/s Gartner Lee Limited of Canada, has given Professional consulting services related to Solid Waste Management Master Plan prepared Under the Kolkata Environmental Improvement Project (KEIP). The KEIP Master Plan identified improvements to the solid waste Management system in the municipality of Kolkata related to issues such as Source separation, implementation and involvement of local communities and Entrepreneurs in waste collection, improvement of waste transport efficiencies, and increased capacity for composting of organic wastes. Key outputs requested by KMC for this project include: Identifying Landfill and the most appropriate final disposal technology; Identifying the most appropriate treatment/processing technology for the municipal waste; Providing a detailed assessment and description of proposed PPP arrangement; and, Preparing Terms of Reference.

6 2). WRITE UP ON BIO-MEDICAL WASTE TREATMENT a) PURPOSE OF PUTTING PLANT:- A Common Bio-medical Waste Treatment Facility (CBWTF) is a set up where bio-medical waste generated from a number of healthcare units, and imparts necessary treatment to reduce adverse effects that this waste may pose. The treated waste may finally be sent for disposal in a landfill or for recycling purposes. Installation of individual onsite treatment facilities by small healthcare units requires comparatively high capital investment. In addition, it requires separate manpower and infrastructure development for proper operation and maintenance of treatment systems. The concept of CBWTF not only addresses such problems but also prevents proliferation of treatment equipment in a city. In turn it reduces the monitoring pressure on regulatory agencies. By running the treatment equipment at CBWTF to its full capacity, the cost of treatment of per kilogram gets significantly reduced. Its considerable advantages have made CBWTF popular and proven concept in many developed countries. CBWTF as an option has also been legally introduced in India. The Bio-medical Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1998, gives an option to the bio-medical waste generator that such waste can also be treated at the common bio-medical waste treatment facility.

7 b) LAND REQUIREMENT:- CBWTF will require minimum of 1 acre land area. So, preferably, a CBWTF be set up on a plot size of not less than one acre. c) TREATMENT EQUIPMENT:- Following equipments are required for treatment of Bio-medical waste. Incinerator Autoclave Shredder Effluent treatment plant. Dis-infection tank. FUNCTION OF EACH MACHINE:- Incinerator:- It is a controlled combustion process where waste is completely oxidized and harmful microorganisms present in it are destroyed/denatured under high temperature. It is mandatory to impart incineration to anatomical and other types of waste falling under categories 1 and 2. Autoclave:- Autoclaving is a low-heat thermal process where steam is brought into direct contact with waste in a controlled manner and for sufficient duration to disinfect the wastes. For ease and safety in operation, the system should be horizontal type and exclusively designed for the treatment of bio-medical waste. For optimum results, pre vacuum based system is preferred against the gravity type system. It shall have tamper-proof control panel with efficient display and recording devices for critical parameters such as time, temperature, pressure, and date and batch number.

8 Shredder: - Shredding is a process by which waste is cut into smaller pieces so as to make the wastes unrecognizable. It helps in prevention of reuse of biomedical waste and also acts as identifier that the waste has been disinfected and is safe to dispose off. Effluent Treatment Plant: - A suitable Effluent Treatment Plant shall be installed to ensure that liquid effluent generated during the process of washing containers, vehicles, floors etc. is disposed after treatment. The treated effluent shall comply with the stipulated regulatory requirements. Chemical Dis-Infection Tank: - The tank will be used for disinfecting the plastic waste.

9 DISPOSAL OF TREATED BIO-MEDICAL WASTE:- The treated bio-medical waste shall be disposed as per the following table: Sl. No. Waste Category Disposal Method 1. Plastic wastes after disinfection and shredding Recycling or municipal landfill 2. Disinfected Sharps (except syringes) (i) If encapsulated Municipal landfill (ii) If non-encapsulated Municipal landfill/ Possibility of recycling shall be explored 3. Incineration ash Secured landfill 4. Other treated solid wastes Municipal landfill 5. Oil & grease Incineration 6. Treated waste water Sewer/drain or recycling

14 5) METHODOLOGY FOR BMW The treatment of BMW depends upon efficient segregation of Waste. This segregation is to be carried out at the source. To segregate the waste at the source, SNG will train the Health Care Staff at all levels bring awareness of various categories of waste. The waste is categorised according to its impact on Pollution & Hazard, the categories being Hazardous & Non hazardous. This segregation helps in selecting proper treatment methods for various types of waste. It may be understood from above that creating awareness about the categories of waste is of utmost importance. SNG Mercantile has devised a Training Module, approved by U.P. Government Health Services Development Project, for all workers/supervisors/doctors working in Health Care Establishments. First step in SNG Mercantile Treatment Method is to train the staff to understand the process physically & in spirit so that staff executes Proper care in waste collection. This Training Module is of 2 days duration each for Doctors, Paramedics & others. The total duration being 1 week. This will be followed by a refresher Course after 12 weeks. Scope of Work of SNG mercantile: 1) Collect the segregated Waste from various Waste Generation Points to the vehicles for onward dispatch to the Treatment Facility. The timing & frequency of collection can be mutually decided. 2) Record the proof of waste collection from the Authorities; this is done either by weight or by number of beds occupied in the Laboratory/ Hospital/Wards/Operation Theatres. 3) Treat the waste collected as per Pollution Control Board Norms.
