They’re so delighted with Matthews Surefire incinerator systems; they’ve come back for 19 more!
Earlier this year the World Health Organisation (WHO) specified and took delivery of a one-off bespoke waste incinerator for deployment on the tiny Indian Ocean island of Timor Leste. High on the list of requirements was robust construction, stand-alone efficiency, compliance to world combustion, environmental and emission regulations and of course total reliability in what was undoubtedly a remote location. Evidently the Surefire TS60 fixed hearth incinerator we customised and manufactured passed all these demanding criteria because the WHO has now come back to us with a further order for nineteen incinerator systems.
This time the destination is in a number of equally remote areas of Ethiopia and after consultation with the Matthews team the WHO has specified Matthews Surefire TS40 containerised waste incinerator systems. Once again the key demands were that the waste incinerators should all be robustly constructed, self-contained, be capable of reliable all-day usage and must be simple to operate alongside clinics and small hospitals, some of which could be located in extreme climates and in difficult to reach, outlying districts.
To comply with all these demanding requirements Matthews Environmental Solutions customised the design of the TS40 incinerator systems to be secured within modified ISO shipping containers. This enables the incinerators to be freighted to each of scattered destinations without risk to the incinerators themselves. Once at their location they will remain within the shipping containers as a working unit and will only require the minimum of site work to become fully operational. The main requirement once the containers reach their destinations will be to assemble and fit the 5 metre high stainless steel chimney, which will extend from the incinerator though a pre-cut, purpose-made exit hole in the top of the container. Also loaded into the container with the waste incinerator are all the ancillary components, including a 1200 litre diesel fuel tank to supply the diesel-fueled temperature controlled ignition burner and afterburner. All the electrical systems have been pre-installed and will only require connection to the local supply to be come fully operational.
Each of the nineteen waste incinerators is capable of handling loads of up to 40kg/hour and each one is designed for the efficient disposal of general, medical and animal waste.
It is anticipated that the entire order will be completed and ready for freighting within six weeks and the WHO are now eagerly awaiting delivery of the containers for their Ethiopian sites.
