The Challenge
After evaluating its options, Bio Clean selected Clean Waste Systems and implemented the OMW-1000 Ozone Medical Waste Sterilizer. The system uses ozone-based technology to treat medical waste and shreds the material as part of the treatment process. For Bio Clean, the OMW-1000 provided a processing solution that could satisfy the company’s regulatory requirements while supporting its economic and environmental objectives.
The solution included:
- The OMW-1000 ozone medical waste treatment system as Bio Clean’s selected processing technology.
- Ozone-based treatment and shredding within the processing system.
- A simple operating and maintenance process designed for straightforward day-to-day use.
- Straightforward regulatory testing to support Bio Clean’s compliance requirements.
- A clean, quiet and odor-free treatment process compared with the conditions associated with other medical waste processing methods.
The Results
Reducing Waste Volume While Improving the Processing Experience
Since implementing ozone technology with the OMW-1000, Bio Clean has seen improvements across its medical waste operation. Most notably, the company reports an approximately 90% reduction in waste volume, significantly reducing the volume of material that needs to be transported for final disposal. Beyond volume reduction, Bio Clean has experienced improvements in its economics, working environment, and response from key stakeholders.
“Our employees are happy with it. It’s a clean-running machine. It doesn’t smell. It’s very quiet. It’s a great machine to operate.”
