Orlando, FL - Oct 15, 2007 - The HD Digital Radio Alliance, the joint initiative of radio broadcasters to accelerate consumer adoption of HD Digital Radio, has renewed the group's charter for a third year. The group's effort promotes the HD Radio rollout and works with stations in a market to determine multicast station formats to reduce format duplication.
The group also announced that it has committed an additional $230 million in marketing funds for 2008 to bring the total group commitment to $680 million. The "investment" sounds impressive, but the funds appear to simply be unsold on-air inventory on HD Radio stations. Part of the annual commitment now includes a portion of the weekly advertising time is to be given back to local stations to promote multicast content, local partnerships, events and promotions for their HD Radio stations, which further lessens the actual monetary value of the ad campaign.
The new charter also revises the method that partner stations use to select multicast formats. While the Alliance recognizes that format diversity will help consumer interest in multicast, stations will be able to change their multicast formats without Alliance review provided that the new format is not currently on the air in the local market at all.
The HD Digital Radio Alliance has also revised its two-year ad-free policy to allow companies to accept name-in-title sponsorships and limited sponsor mentions per hour on multicast channels.
Current Alliance members include Beasley Broadcast Group, Bonneville International, CBS Radio, Citadel Broadcasting/ABC Radio, Clear Channel Radio, Emmis Communications, Entercom, Greater Media and WBEB Philadelphia.

The ballots have been tabulated and Georgia's voters have largely supported the idea of ending the prohibition on Sunday sales of beer, wine, and liquor in package and grocery stores. More than 80 percent of the cities and counties that held referendums on the issue Nov. 8 voted to legalize Sunday package sales. Just 21 communities voted against ending the prohibition.
Every few years the idea circulates at the Capitol that it sure would be a good idea to start using the state's pension money to invest in exotic business ventures.
On the night of Nov. 8, as ballots are being tallied in local elections around the state, one of the long-standing political walls in Georgia should finally come tumbling down.
Nothing illustrates the unconventional nature of this election cycle better than the presidential campaign of Georgia's own favorite son, Herman Cain.
You would not think that politicians from 159 counties would be able to set aside their personal differences and local biases long enough to agree on a list of expensive road projects, but it seems to have happened.
We won't be choosing a governor and neither of the incumbent U.S. senators will be on the ballot, so there aren't any compelling statewide races to get excited about.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission began its hearings last week on a request from Southern Co. for a license to build and operate two more nuclear reactors at Georgia Power's Plant Vogtle.
It is a news story that has become very familiar over the past decade.
Hank Huckaby is soon going to find out who his real friends are.
David Stooksbury, the state climatologist for the past 12 years, was eminently qualified to do the work that he does. I don't know of anyone who was more qualified.
Legislators will tell you that they have to redraw the boundaries of Georgia's election districts every 10 years to account for shifts in population.
The battle over the T-SPLOST election date during this special legislative session has been described as a showdown between the anti-tax tea party and the various chambers of commerce who supported the transportation tax.
When our legislators redraw the boundaries of their election districts, as they are doing in the special legislative session now under way, they not only reshape the state's political landscape, they close out chapters in Georgia's history.
Georgia legislators have returned to Atlanta this week for a chore they must handle only once or twice every decade: redistricting and reapportionment.
Our lawmakers will be back in Atlanta on Monday for a special session on redistricting, but before the fun begins let's catch up on a few developments in state politics.

This application is a continuation of Ser. No. 10/201,121, filed Jul. 23, 2002, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,183,453 issued Feb. 27, 2007, which is a continuation of PCT/US01/02319, filed Jan. 24, 2001, which claims the benefit of 60/178,051, filed Jan. 24, 2000. This application is also a continuation of Ser. No. 10/263,043, filed Oct. 2, 2002, which is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 09/171,447, filed Oct. 20, 1998, which is the 371 national stage of PCT/US97/06616, filed Apr. 21, 1997, which claims the benefit of 60/036,665, filed Apr. 22, 1996. The disclosure of Ser. No. 09/171,447, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,472,580, titled "Methods for Treatment and Disposal of Regulated Medical Waste," is incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates to the field of waste disposal and, more particularly, to a system and method for the digestion and sanitary disposal of infectious waste material and other biohazardous or radioactive waste.
Many facilities, such as hospitals, various health-care facilities, research and teaching institutions, food preparation facilities, and the like, produce considerable amounts of infectious, biohazardous, or radioactive waste. Such waste may include surgical and pathological tissues, animal tissues, cadavers, blood and other bodily fluids, disposable matter exposed to blood, and other potentially infectious or dangerous body fluids of patients or animals. Such waste is classified in the United States as "regulated medical waste" (RMW) under state regulations, and must be disposed of in strict compliance with the applicable governmental regulations.
Health-related organizations and governmental regulatory agencies have become increasingly concerned with the adequacy of existing cleaning and disposal methods. It has been discovered that some potentially biohazardous agents, such as prokaryotes, or infective proteins (prions) do in fact survive standard autoclaving procedures. Thus, more effective sterilization techniques have been sought for treating solid infectious biomedical waste and aqueous solutions containing such waste.
In addition, universities and other research facilities likewise produce significant amounts of such waste. For example, in conducting experiments in cell lines, tissues, or animals, it is common to introduce dyes, toxic chemicals, or infectious agents into the test subject. Moreover, radioactive materials are also commonly used as a tool to enhance chemical, biochemical, pharmaceutical, biomedical, and biological research. It is common to label drugs or chemical compounds with radioisotopes in order to study efficiently and accurately where these compounds are metabolized and incorporated within the body. After completion of the test and analysis, due to the introduction of infectious agents or hazardous or radioactive material into the tissue, the remaining tissue or animal carcass may fall under the classification of "regulated medical waste," hazardous waste, or low-level radioactive waste ("LLRW"). In addition, animal waste, animal bedding, handling materials, and other matter exposed to any animal body fluids or excretions may also need to be treated as infectious or hazardous waste material, thus requiring disposal in accordance with the applicable governmental regulations.
Moreover, it is common today for health care organizations to clean material, instruments or surface areas exposed to infectious agents, including zoonotic agents, with disinfectants such as formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde. Spent cleaning solution is considered hazardous liquid waste and must also be disposed of in compliance with governmental regulations. The cost of disposing of such waste, on an institutional basis, can be quite high. Further, formaldehyde, glutaradehyde, phenols and like materials, are commonly used for embalming tissues and in fixation of infectious biological materials. Thus, these tissues and the fixative agents may also have to be disposed of as "regulated medical waste," hazardous waste, or mixed waste in compliance with the applicable governmental regulations.
Further, animal carcasses containing compounds labeled with 14C or 3H or other radioisotopes are classified as LLRW. Because state and federal guidelines regulate the disposal of LLRW, special precautions must be followed in their disposal. Currently, the two methods commonly used in disposing of this type of waste are incineration and land burial. Presently, federal law allows for incineration only when the animal carcass contains a radioisotope concentration below a certain level. However, even when radioisotope concentrations are below this level, incineration may be further limited by state and local agencies. When the levels of radioactivity in the animal carcasses are below acceptable de minimis levels as defined by federal, state, and local authorities, the disposal thereof is not subject to any additional regulation as a radioactive waste. However, to further complicate matters, the incineration of radioactive animal carcasses at any level is prohibited in certain major metropolitan areas. Nonetheless, the general process of incineration itself, even when no radioactive materials are involved, is subject to additional regulations, such as those requiring licensing from a state or local environmental agency. Additionally, future increases in the requirements for incinerator designs and function under clean air regulations put in doubt the continued availability of incineration as a practical method for disposing of animal carcasses classified as LLRW or for any non-radioactive carcasses or human pathological waste.
Presently, the only real alternative to incineration for radioactive animal carcasses is burying the carcasses in a licensed LLRW disposal facility. This method entails the packing of the entire carcasses in lime and adsorbents, repacking them in special drums and shipping the drums to a LLRW site. Currently there are only two such sites in the United States, located at Hanford, Wash., and Banwell, S.C. Due to the limited number of land burial sites currently operating in the United States, it is extremely costly to dispose of any radioactive waste by this method; it is disproportionately costly for animal carcasses containing low level radioactive waste due to the size and weight of the carcass. Due to the extremely high cost associated with land burial and the limitations on access to current sites, the feasibility of land burial as a method of disposing of animal carcasses classified as LLRW remains in doubt.
It is known in the art that low levels of certain radioactive waste may be disposed of to a sanitary sewer under federal regulations with appropriate record keeping and/or monitoring. This includes isotopes in aqueous solution at levels below the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) as defined by 10 C.F.R. 20 and radioisotopes in human waste. Such a procedure has been utilized, for example, in the disposal of radioactive waste generated by many patients undergoing treatments for cancer. Today, a common method of treating cancer is by radiation therapy, which often involves the absorption of radioactive compounds. Many of these radioactive compounds eventually leave the body through fecal and urinary excretions. These excretions will contain small amounts of radioactive material. However, this radioactive material is disposed of through the general sewage system because the level of the radioactive materials discharged by the body into the sewer system is sufficiently diluted such that it no longer poses any hazard to public health and safety. This process is well within the state and federal disposal regulations for LLRW disposal. However, LLRW contained in animal remains are not readily capable of disposal through such means because the animals are naturally solid waste.
It is also known in the art that substances containing keratin, such as hair and nails, may be dissolved by means of acid or alkaline hydrolysis, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 1,974,554 issued to Ziegler. It is further known that hydrolysis of proteins containing keratin may be carried out with alkaline solvents. It is even further disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,332,532 to Drs. Kaye and Weber, which patent is commonly owned by the assignee of the present application, that such hydrolysis may be utilized on proteins contaminated with radioactive materials.
Of the known methods of disposing of infectious, biohazardous, or low-level radioactive waste, each faces an indeterminable future under the ever-changing breadth of the environmental laws. Furthermore, each is extremely costly, putting an unneeded drain on already strained research and waste management budgets of hospitals, universities and other institutions. Thus, a need persists for means of safely and inexpensively treating waste matter containing infectious, biohazardous, or radioactive materials, and for the safe and convenient disposal of the resultant aqueous and solid waste materials.
This need is satisfied and the limitations and expenses of the prior art are overcome, in accordance with the principles of the present invention, by providing a system and method for producing a safely disposable solution and solid waste from infectious or biohazardous human or animal tissue, regulated medical waste, or any other material containing undesirable elements. This invention provides a system for producing a safely disposable sterile solution and sterile solid waste, comprising a sealable tank or vessel capable of containing a highly basic solvent therein, heating means for heating the highly basic solvent, filtering means, means for removing the odor created by such activities, means for removing the post-digestion resultant aqueous solution and any solid waste from within the vessel, and means for disposing of the resultant aqueous and/or solid waste via conventional means.
The method provided by the invention generally comprises the steps of providing a sealable vessel, filling the vessel with a highly basic solvent, immersing the waste matter containing the undesirable elements within the highly basic solvent, and heating the highly basic solvent. The waste matter is allowed to remain within the highly basic solvent until the hydrolyzable matter is digested, thereby forming a sterile solution and sterile solid waste. The aqueous solution and any resultant solid waste may then be disposed of through conventional means, such as a sanitary sewer or local landfill facility.
In another aspect of the invention, hazardous materials may be removed from the digest and separately disposed of in an appropriate manner, such as a specially designated landfill or an incineration facility. Paraffin or wax may be added to the RMW prior to or subsequent to the digestion cycle. Upon heating the materials, the paraffin or wax melts and becomes distributed through the aqueous solution. After the waste has been digested and the aqueous solution allowed to cool, the lipid-like materials separate out from and float to the surface of the solution where they re-solidify upon cooling to room temperature. Lipid soluble waste materials may then be removed from the aqueous phase upon separation of the lipid phase because they have become incorporated within the lipid phase. Thus, removing the lipid phase from the solution effectively removes lipid soluble hazardous materials not degraded or otherwise consumed in the alkaline treatment as well.
As used herein, "regulated medical waste" shall mean any waste potentially containing infectious agents that can cause infection in humans or animals. Such regulated medical waste includes but is not limited to tissues (human or animal), cloth, plastic, paper, animal carcasses, bedding and other matter potentially containing infectious or biohazardous agents.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a system and method for safely treating and disposing of waste matter containing undesirable elements, such as infectious, biohazardous, hazardous, or radioactive elements or agents.
This invention involves a system and method for treating and safely disposing of waste matter containing undesirable agents or elements, such as but not limited to infectious, biohazardous, hazardous, and radioactive materials. The system and method of this invention is designed and intended to comply with all federal, state, and local laws or regulations presently in existence applicable to the disposal of such waste.
The method of the invention comprises the steps of providing a sealable vessel, providing a highly basic solvent, immersing the waste matter containing the undesirable elements within the solvent within the interior of the vessel, heating the solvent and the waste matter, and allowing the waste matter to remain within the solvent until digested, thereby forming a sterile aqueous solution and sterile solid waste. The extent of digestion or degradation of the waste matter may be increased by treating the waste under pressures above one atmosphere. After cooling, the post-digestion end product may then be directly disposed of through conventional disposal means, such as a sanitary sewer or landfill, or even used as a fertilizing agent in land use applications. If preferred, the post-digestion stage may also include rinsing or flushing of the resultant waste product and the interior of the vessel. The system and method of this invention also substantially reduce the amount of post-digestion solid waste to be disposed of.
The inventors herein have determined that complete digestion (time vs. temperature curves) may be determined by measuring the rate of production of amino acids as the digestion process proceeds. When that process reaches an asymptote, digestion is considered complete.
In operation, when the operator is ready to dispose of the waste matter, such as animal carcasses or remains for example, the waste matter is placed within a holding container that is then placed within the interior of the vessel. The lid of the vessel is then secured by way of conventional lid clamps. The load of waste matter placed in the vessel for digestion should be at least 10% of the capacity of the vessel (by weight) but not more than 40% of the total weight of the capacity of the vessel. The digestion cycle is then initiated, ultimately resulting in the waste matter being completely immersed in the highly basic solvent.
For the purposes of this application, a "highly basic solvent" may include a 1-2 molar (M) aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide or an alkaline earth metal hydroxide. Preferably, this solvent should have a pH of at least above 13, preferably in the range of 13 to 14. An aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH—also commonly known as sodium hydrate) or potassium hydroxide (KOH—also commonly known as caustic potash or potassium hydrate) is preferred. While an aqueous solution of NaOH or KOH is preferred, solutions containing calcium oxide (CaO—also commonly known as burnt lime, calx or caustic lime), ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH—also commonly known as aqua ammonia) or magnesium hydroxide are also suitable. An example of a suitable highly basic solvent may consist of a 0.1 M to 2.5 M solution of NaOH in water, or approximately 0.4%-10% sodium hydroxide (by weight) in water.
During digestion, the hydrolyzable material should be immersed in a sufficient amount of solvent such that the material may be digested. One ratio assuring excess base to carry out the digestion of the waste matter to completion, particularly animal tissue, is a 1:10 ratio of alkali metal hydroxide to wet tissue weight. A further expression of this ratio is 40 kilograms of NaOH dissolved in 900 liters of water added to 100 kilograms dry weight protein or 40 kilograms of NaOH in 500 L H2O added to 500 kilograms fresh or frozen waste matter by weight. These ratios are given only as instruction as to how to conduct the method and operate the system stated herein and not to limit the nature or scope of the invention; one using the system and method described herein may find ratios more economical and exact as the invention is practiced. In order to assure degradation of all infectious wastes, including prokaryotes, the highly basic solvent should be heated to a temperature of at least 100� C., and preferably 110� C. to 150� C.
It is preferable to allow the reaction to proceed in a closed reaction vessel after the waste matter has been immersed within the solvent. Reducing the amount of CO2 available to the reaction is beneficial in order to maintain the ideal rate and stoichiometry of the reaction. This may be done by simply removing or limiting any contact that the highly basic solvent has with the environment.
In the event the reaction between the waste matter such as an animal carcass and the highly basic solvent were allowed to proceed at its natural rate, it may take an impractical amount of time. Therefore, it is advantageous to increase the reaction rate beyond its natural progression. One way to increase the speed of the reaction process is to heat the solvent, preferably to temperatures of 110� C. to 150� C. Conducting the reaction in a sealed vessel under increased atmospheric pressure also reduces the reaction time needed to digest the animal tissue. A preferred mode includes heating the solvent to a temperature of about 150� C. for a duration of about three (3) hours at a pressure of about 2.8 atmospheres. It has been found that the basic rule of thermodynamics or the "Q10 Rule" applies to this invention as well in that for every 10 degrees Celsius rise in temperature, the reaction rate for the chemical reaction taking place within the closed vessel increases two-fold, thereby resulting in the digestion time being reduced by approximately 50%. Such phenomenon is based on the Arrhenius equation. In the present invention, the following minimum digestion times and automated programmed cycle times have been found to be effective at certain predetermined temperatures:
Temperature � C. (� F.)

100 (212)
16 hours
110 (230)

130 (266)
2 hours

5 hours
150 (300)

3 hours
Furthermore, detergents to a concentration of up to 1% to the solvent, examples being sodium lauryl sulfate or deoxycholate, may also be added to increase the rate of digestion, if desired. It should also be noted that addition of detergents to the solvent also has the added advantage of dispersing nonsaponifiable lipids, and aiding in the sterilization of biological materials.
Ultimately, the reaction rate will depend on specific variables such as: the temperature of the solvent, pressure in the reaction vessel, the nature and volume of the waste matter, i.e., the physical size of the carcasses or waste tissue, and the ratio of waste matter to the volume of the highly basic solvent. As the reaction rate will vary, the time that the waste matter must remain immersed in the solvent will also vary. However, regardless of the reaction rate, the waste matter should remain completely immersed within the solvent until solubilized and hydrolyzed. Allowing the waste matter to remain within the solvent until digestion is achieved will also help produce a more sterile solution.
Once the waste matter such as animal tissue has been digested, two types of solid debris often remain. The first type of debris consists of rubber, plastic, or cellulosic materials that the lab animal may have ingested, as well as debris remaining from experimental or surgical procedures, such as surgical clips, sutures, glass, and bits of plastic or paper. Solid items such as these never incorporate the radioactive isotopes. Once sterilized, such solid items are also not considered biomedical waste in most jurisdictions. This type of debris may often be simply disposed of as ordinary sterile solid waste upon being isolated from the solution and washed.
The second type of solid debris remaining undissolved includes inorganic portions of the animal's skeletal structure and teeth. Unless a radioisotope capable of incorporation into the inorganic portion of bones and teeth is used, the inorganic component of the skeletal remains will not contain the radioactive isotope and may be disposed of as solid sterile waste. The skeletal remains, when removed from the solvent and washed, are extremely friable.
After the biological waste matter has been digested within the solvent and the solid debris removed, the solution may comprise a diluted concentration of radioactive isotopes that meet the MPC requirements under the federal regulations, as well as an alkaline mixture of alkai metal salts of amino acids and peptides, sugar acids, nucleotides, small peptides, fatty acids from lipids, phosphates from lipid and nucleic acid breakdown, soluble calcium salts, pigments, sugars, sugar alcohols, hydrocarbons, and inorganic acids derived from the electrolytes normally within solution in body fluids. These by-products are identical to those released in vast amounts from cooking leftovers and waste from all commercial and household kitchens. Thus, the solution contains compounds that are non-toxic and are biodegradable by bacteria or fungi found in soil and sewage treatment systems, and possibly a very dilute amount of radioactive solute.
Because the solution at the end of the digestion cycle contains only non-toxic biodegradable materials and the water released from the animal tissue, further dilution of the solution may not be required for safe disposal. Further dilution to reduce the alkalinity of the solution will be accomplished, however, by the rinsing of the vessel and the inorganic remains with excess water, by the temperature regulating co-flush for the effluent, and the general daily effluent volume of the site, institution, or company. (Deliberate dilution of soluble radioactive waste is usually not permitted by the applicable local, state and federal regulations.) At this stage, however, the concentration of radioisotope in the solution should be well within the level that may be safely released to a sanitary sewer.
This sterile, neutral, aqueous solution that contains the breakdown products of cells and tissues, and may contain remnants of radioisotopically labeled solutes may be safely disposed of utilizing methods commonly used to dispose of everyday nontoxic and biodegradable substances. It is entirely safe to dispose of this solution using disposal means such as sanitary sewage systems and other disposal means appropriate for the disposal of these simple biodegradable compounds.
Now turning to
The system and method carried out by this invention are controlled by a conventional programmable logic controller (PLC) means (not shown) defined by a programmable multi-loop machine controller, computerized for automated operation. Such control means preferably includes an information screen, a disk drive for the automation program software, and a keyboard for alternative manual input or operation.
System 10 further includes a weight transducer 18 (shown schematically) coupled to one or more of the legs of the vessel 12 for determining the weight of the waste matter received within the vessel and for generating an output signal indicating such weight data. The transducer is preset such that the weight of the vessel without contents equals zero weight. The contents weight data is then inputted to the PLC control means for, based on the weight output data, determining the appropriate amounts of water and solvent to introduce into the interior of the vessel, utilizing a water supply 20, via conduit 20 a, and a spray ball or nozzle 20 e located within the vessel interior, and solvent supply 22, via solvent loop conduit 24 and pump 26. Solvent is injected into the interior of vessel 12 via injector means 28, which are shown schematically in
It should be appreciated that this invention is not limited to the agitating injector means described and shown herein but contemplates any means that introduces the solvent into the interior of the vessel. The mere introduction of solvent into the vessel will "mix" the alkali-water solution with the waste matter. Introducing heat also induces mixing. Moreover, agitation of the contents may be achieved by various means, including external mechanisms coupled to the vessel, such as rocking or shaking assembly that physically moves the vessel. All such alternative means of mixing or agitating the vessel contents are contemplated by this invention.
As noted above, the preferred process requires that the solvent solution be heated in order to accelerate the digestion process to completely dissolve the animal tissue, carcasses, or medical waste. To that end, further included in system 10 is a heating means preferably defined by a stainless steel steam jacket 30 arranged circumferentially about the vertical sides and base of vessel 12 for heating the interior of the vessel to a first predetermined temperature level after the introduction of water and solvent into the vessel interior 14. Heated water or steam is circulated between the walls of the double walled vessel 12. While the steam jacket defines a preferred embodiment, any heating means commonly known and used for heating solutions could be utilized in this invention. Steam is supplied to jacket 30 by a steam supply 32 and conduit 32 a provided with a cut-off valve 32 b and a regulating valve 32 c. The system further includes a vent 34, which is disposed in the open state upon initiation of the cycle and thereafter closed by PLC control means when the temperature within the vessel reaches a predetermined first temperature. The temperature within the vessel 12 is gauged by a vessel thermocouple 36 a, while the pressure within the vessel is gauged by a PSI transducer 38. The temperature within the solvent loop is gauged by a loop thermocouple 36 b.
In the preferred embodiment, an eductor apparatus 40 is utilized for creating a vacuum within the vessel interior 14. When vent 34 is open and flushing water is admitted to the eductor by the water supply 20 via conduit 20 b, the action of the eductor draws the air and any odorous gas from within the interior of the vessel through conduit 34 a, whereupon the air and odorous gas is eventually entrapped with the flushing water at eductor 40 to, in turn, be removed from the system via drain conduit 42 a to sanitary drain 42. The temperature of the fluid at the drain may be gauged by a thermocouple 44 to monitor the effluent temperature prior to disposal in a sanitary sewer system. The vacuum-creating eductor substantially reduces the odorous gases that may escape from rotting carcasses while the vessel is filling, before the vent valve 34 is closed.
In cycle, once the contents of the vessel are drained after the digestion cycle (heating and cooling), the interior of the vessel is rinsed with cold water via sprayball 20 e with the drain 41 open. After a few minutes, the drain 41 is closed to allow the vessel to begin to fill with water. Once the vessel is filled to the point where the waste matter is covered, the contents are then agitated by injecting the water solution through injector means 28 for a few minutes to increase the rinsing effect. Drain 41 is then re-opened and the liquid contents of the vessel are allowed to drain. Thereafter, if desired or necessary, the drain 41 is closed for a second time and the vessel is allowed to again fill with water. Heat may then be applied again to the vessel to heat the liquid within the vessel to approximately 105� C. (190� F.), whereupon a reverse ion exchange is initiated. The time and temperature used in this post-digestion heating stage may vary.
To balance or control the vacuum being created within the vessel during the post-digestion cooling cycle and to prevent the vacuum from impeding the draining of the vessel, a vacuum balancing device 46 shown and discussed below in relation to
Referring now to
The preferred system further includes a permeable container capable of holding the waste tissue or remains or medical waste within the vessel interior 14 during the digestion cycle to completely immerse the waste tissue within the solvent solution. As shown in
As noted above, the preferred embodiment includes agitating injector means 28 shown in
As shown in
Next, the system goes into the cooling cycle after digestion whereupon cooling water is admitted to the steam jacket interior 30 from water supply 20 (
This invention also presents a method for digesting or neutralizing waste matter comprising organic tissue or infectious, biohazardous, hazardous, or radioactive agents, by subjecting the waste matter to a controlled alkaline hydrolysis cycle and generating a sterile resultant suitable for conventional sanitary disposal. The preferred method compromises the steps of:
As mentioned above, an additional feature of the closed vessel is to allow the solid waste remains to be removed from a secondary opening (not shown) arranged on the vertical side of the vessel. This feature allows the vessel to be positioned in such a configuration that the primary opening may be located within a contaminated portion of the facility, while the remaining portions of the system are located within a clean portion of the facility. This would allow contaminated materials to be processed and sterilized, then for the sterile solid waste remains to be removed from the secondary opening as sterile remains into a clean area for final disposal. Thereafter, the secondary opening would be sealed prior to the opening of the primary opening for the loading of waste for another processing cycle. Such a configuration is referred to as "dirty side feed/clean side removal." Such an embodiment would alter step (u) above to read as follows:
Finally, set forth below is an example of the system of this invention and its method of operation in use.
Prior to filling the vessel with, for example, animal carcasses containing infectious or hazardous agents, the lid of the vessel is closed in order to "zero" the load scale. The lid is then opened and the vessel filled with waste matter to the desired volume. Preferably, the load should be at least 20% of the vessel's capacity (by weight) but not more than the weight capacity of the vessel, in which case the system will not operate and the excess weight must be removed. The vessel lid is then closed and secured. The PLC controller is then activated to initiate the digestion process by first determining the weight of the waste matter within the vessel. The digestion cycle is then initiated whereby waste is preferably added at the rate of 60% waste to 40% tissue by weight, alkali is added at the predetermined concentration based on the tissue weight. Such concentration is normally equivalent to a solution of 50% HaOH added by weight at a ratio of 15 to 20% of the total tissue weight.
The heating step is then initiated to raise the temperature of the interior of the vessel to the predetermined first digestive cycle temperature for a predetermined duration to completely digest the carcasses. In a preferred mode, the cycle holds the digestion temperature to at least 110� C., preferably about 130� C., and most preferred about 150� C. At 150� C., the digestion cycle is normally about 3 hours in duration.
Once the digestive cycle is complete, the PLC control means initiates the cooling cycle, utilizing cold water flushed through the sleeve jacket 30 of the vessel. Once the vessel has cooled sufficiently, the vessel is drained to the sewer, then partially refilled with cold water and the interior rinsed. The vessel is then drained again, partially refilled again and this second rinse solution heated if desired. After this hot rinse, the vessel is then drained and it contents sprayed with a final spray rinse. The cooling cycle is then complete and the system shuts down while the drain is opened to empty completely the interior of the vessel.
If the operator is present at the completion of the cooling cycle, the vessel may at that point be opened and the waste-carrying basket removed and emptied. The basket is then replaced, making the system ready for a new cycle. In the event, however, the operator is not present when the cooling cycle is complete, when the cycle runs at night for example, the operator should initiate the rinse cycle for a short duration, preferably about 30 seconds. After the final spray is complete, the vessel may be opened and the waste safely disposed of
Although the invention has been described with a preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art will understand that modifications and variations may be made without departing from the scope of the inventions as set forth in the following claims. Such modifications and variations are considered to be within the purview and scope of the appended claims.

Plasma RIP: LG to suspend production leaving PDP TV tech in last throes of death
LG is expected to suspend manufacturing plasma TVs soon, effectively striking the last nail in the coffin for the display technology.
The company is now taking pre-orders on large-screen curved OLED televisions with 4K Ultra-HD resolutions and has decided that will become the display technology rival to LCD. It also believes its competitors in the TV market will take note and follow suit with their our high-end OLED sets.
And that means plasma technology will no longer be needed.
Speaking during a media event in Korea to launch the 65-inch OLED TV in the country, Ha Hyun-hwoi, president of LG Electronics' home entertainment revealed that it was more when the company might halt PDP production, not if. "We are studying on when we should suspend the PDP business," he said.
According to Korea Times, he also said that we should expect an official announcement on the issues in the future.
Samsung is also shutting down its plasma production from November and Panasonic, a major leader in the sector for many years, announced its intention to pull out late last year, with factories being closed early 2014.
That reportedly leaves Chinese firm Changhong Electric Co as the sole plasma display manufacturer left, so while you might see some panels from there reach TVs in the UK and US, they will unlikely be from any of the major brands.

Welcome to bira direct
Can you believe we're almost halfway through 2016 already!
On 11th May we held the bira High Street Conference, I hope those of you who managed to attend had a very enjoyable and fruitful day. For those of you who didn't, the photographs are available on the website already here
I was very happy with our dedicated suppliers' morning, it seems that we have an aligned vision of what we are hoping to achieve for the next 12 months. Suppliers; Stax, Meyer and Connect were kind enough to share some of their expertise and experience in how they have grown their business with bira direct in recent months and it was inspiring to see that we all have very similar plans going forwards.
Here at bira, we are very aware that the market is changing and evolving at all times and whilst we are currently re-writing our bira direct website - so that it is more functional and interactive, we are now launching a dedicated e-shot initiative.
By e-shot, there will be regular, targeted, exclusive offers sent to our members on a regular basis via email. Do keep a look at your inbox, as some of these offers will be available for only a few days at a time and we won't be marketing anything which we don't deem to be extremely competitive!
Going forwards, Autumn Fair will be upon us soon, and we have some exciting changes planned for this years' set up. bira and i2i are working on a new layout and plan which will fit in with the ever-evolving target market of this trade show. Do make sure you mark out the 4th – 7th September 2016 in your diary for a visit, or to enquire about joining our section, as a featured bira supplier.
After such an ideas oriented High Street Conference I have a very busy diary over the next few weeks, but, as always, myself and team are keen to hear from you. Please do get in touch if you'd like to organise an e-shot, request a visit from one of our dedicated sales team, or to discuss any other area of business.
Wishing you a most successful and enjoyable Summer 2016.
Jeff Moody,
Managing Director

Bob McPike was still in his blood-stained work shirt as he described the fiery car crash that claimed a young girl's life near the end of his driveway yesterday.
He had been working on his half-finished country house on Duck Rd west of Hamilton about 4.25pm when he heard "an almighty bloody bang".
A silver Mazda Lantis containing two males and two females, believed to be Hamilton teenagers, had lost control on a left-hand bend heading south and rolled 20 metres along a paddock fence.
It came to rest upright and the engine burst into flames.
"Straight away I ran down and they were all out," Mr McPike said, with the wreckage still smoking nearby.
"A girl was thrown from the vehicle and when I got there, she was . . . terrible.
But she was still breathing, and groaning softly.
"The guys on the road not involved in the accident were saying, 'get her away before [the car] blows', so I picked her up and took her out into the paddock."
He lay her down in the long grass about 10 metres from the fire which had engulfed the vehicle and spread down the roadside.
But by then she had stopped moving.
When emergency services arrived, he called a fireman to where she was lying.
"He got on the radio and said, 'there's one deceased'."
Two occupants received minor injuries in the crash.
Another young man was hospitalised with a leg injury but was in stable condition.
The death takes the Waikato district road toll to 40 - the country's highest.
It follows repeated pleas from police following a string of fatal crashes for people to keep speeds down, especially on rural roads.
The Serious Crash Unit is investigating the circumstances surrounding yesterday accident.
Sergeant Aaron Alderton, who was in charge of the scene, said the car was thought to be travelling at high speed.
He said they assumed one or more of the Mazda's occupants weren't wearing seatbelts because the dead girl was thrown from the vehicle.
Mr McPike said drivers regularly speed along Duck Rd and the Rotokauri area because it's rural and so close to Hamilton.
"There's a lot of hoons around."
But with two kids of his own he knew the crash could have been a non-event if it simply spun out or rolled into he field.
"But the minute it started bloody rolling, and no safety belts, it's like putting eggs inside a sardine can and giving it a shake."
His safety advice for all young drivers is to buckle up, because they will take risks and if they crash it's gives them a chance.
Yesterday's crash was the fourth fatal he'd witnessed.
Mr McPike recalled a head-on collision in Gordonton involving a woman and her husband, who had been driving and was seriously injured.
"She said to just talk to him and hang on to him.
"And he slowly died while I was hanging onto his head. It's not something you want to get used to bloody doing."
