PATH has an excellent guide to choosing an incinerator on this website: https://www.path.org/publications/files/TS_mmis_incin_guide.pdf In a 152-bed hospital in Sierra Leone, there is a Macroburn Incinerator for sharps and an Inciner8 incinerator for bagged clinical waste, as well as a burn pit and two De Montfort incinerators. The Macroburn incinerator uses kerosene for starting and wood mixed with the waste to maintain a high combustion temperature. The Inciner8 incinerator uses electrical energy to operate blowers for efficient combustion. Regards, Trish
