<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n
  1. Waste<\/a> collection<\/strong>: Medical<\/a> waste<\/a> is collected from various departments within the hospital<\/a> and transported to the waste<\/a> management facility.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. Sorting and segregation<\/strong>: Waste<\/a> is sorted and segregated according to its type and composition, to ensure that it is processed correctly.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  3. Incineration<\/a><\/strong>: The waste<\/a> is then fed into the incinerator<\/a>, where it is burned at high temperatures, typically between 850\u00b0C to 1200\u00b0C.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. Air pollution<\/a> control<\/strong>: The flue gases produced during the incineration<\/a> process are treated and filtered to remove pollutants and particulate matter, ensuring that the emissions<\/a> meet international standards.<\/li>\n
