Hospital Medical Infectious Waste Incinerators

During 1993, Bio-Medical Waste Incineration was introduced to Homi R. Mullan by an entrepreneurial friend John Paul Paturi, who had made a successful start in Designing, Manufacturing and Installations of their HEATON Electric Incinerators in Visakhapatnam, for Naval Hospital, and for Visakhapatnam Steel Plant Hospital; and, also for Karnataka State Government Hospitals in Bangalore and Mysore; and for Hospitals in Chennai. This was a way ahead of The Bio-Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 1998, even before its draft rules announced by Ministry of Environment & Forest (MoEF). The said introduction was with an eye to promote Bio-Medical Waste Incinerators in Mumbai, manufactured by his company M/s J&J Hotmax Pvt. Ltd. Thus a journey began with research, study and practical experience which resulted in a holistic study of the Bio-medical Waste & Hazardous Wastes Management, Handling Treatment & Disposal of waste; study of pollutants and control; designing and Engineering; Education and Training. The Work experience, and Technical Papers and its Presentations are summarised in the profile of Homi R. Mullan, and are a part of this section.
