Medical Waste Incineration in Cameroon: HICLOVER Solutions Proven at a Defense Hospital

Market Snapshot: Why Cameroon Needs Robust Medical Waste Treatment

Cameroon’s expanding hospital network in Yaoundé, Douala, Garoua, and regional referral centers generates growing volumes of infectious waste, sharps, pharmaceuticals, and pathological materials. In many districts, centralized treatment capacity is limited and landfill options are unsuitable for biohazards. That reality has pushed health authorities and institutional buyers to specify high-temperature, dual-chamber incineration with modern air-pollution control as the most reliable, on-site solution.

HICLOVER in Cameroon: Delivered Capacity and Trade Formalities

HICLOVER has supplied incinerators to Cameroon, including a system for the Cameroon Ministry of Defense Hospital dedicated to medical waste disposal. Delivered configurations include ~150 kg/hour and ~500 kg/hour classes to match hospital throughput, surge loads, and duty cycles. For customs entry, our equipment is cleared under HS Code 84178050 (non-electric industrial furnaces and incinerators; naming may vary by jurisdiction). HICLOVER provides full documentation—commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and conformity dossiers—streamlining import procedures.

Why Incineration Works Best in the Cameroonian Context

• Complete pathogen destruction: Secondary chamber temperatures of 1100–1300 °C with ≥2 s residence time break down infectious agents and organic pollutants far beyond low-temperature burners or pits.

• Immediate volume reduction: Up to 90% mass/volume reduction lowers storage, handling, and transport risks.

• Fuel and power flexibility: Diesel or natural-gas burners with PLC-based fuel-saving logic maintain performance across variable power quality common in several regions.

• Modular siting: Fixed, containerized, or trailer-mounted formats suit urban hospitals and remote clinics alike.

Technical Profile: 150 kg/h and 500 kg/h HICLOVER Classes

~150 kg/hour class (TS-series, customized):

• Dual-chamber combustion: Primary 850–1000 °C; Secondary 1100–1300 °C; ≥2 s gas residence time.

• High-alumina refractory: ≥115 mm, 65% Al₂O₃, 1750 °C rating; ceramic fiber cold face to cut heat loss.

• PLC automatic control: Set-point temperature control, automatic ignition/re-ignition, event logs, alarms, and interlocks.

• Italy-brand burners (oil/gas), auto on/off, optional dual-fuel.

• Optional APCS: Dry scrubber standard; add quench + wet scrubber (acid gas control), activated-carbon adsorption (dioxins/heavy metals), and baghouse for particulates.

~500 kg/hour class (e.g., HICLOVER YD500 PLC):

• Primary chamber ~4.0 m³; Secondary ~1.5 m³ sized for continuous hospital streams.

• Average burn rate ~500 kg/h with duty-matched feeding and ash removal options.

• Stack readiness: Sampling ports for compliance testing; stainless or CS stack engineered for dispersion height specified by site.

• Safety: Diesel flame arrestors and shut-off valves, fire-resistant insulation, leak detection; operator PPE kits and lockout/tagout routines.

With the full APCS suite (quench, acid-gas scrubbing, demister, activated carbon, baghouse), HICLOVER lines are configurable to meet EU-style targets often used by donors—e.g., dust ≤10 mg/Nm³, CO ≤50 mg/Nm³, and PCDD/F ≤0.1 ng TEQ/Nm³ (project-specific engineering and commissioning required).

Deployment Models for Cameroon

• Urban hospitals (Yaoundé, Douala): Fixed plants with full emissions control to serve multiple wards and labs.

• Regional/Defense and teaching hospitals: Containerized or skid-mounted incinerators simplify civil works and accelerate commissioning.

• Hub-and-spoke networks: One regional incinerator serving feeder clinics, with waste transported in sealed sharps/clinical containers.

Services: From Tender to Long-Term Operation

• Engineering & compliance: Sizing, stack calculations, and APCS design aligned with buyer specs and donor expectations.

• Documentation: HS Code 84178050, CE/ISO certificates, FAT/SAT protocols, O&M manuals.

• Training & spares: On-site operator training, remote technical support, and two-year spare parts packages to stabilize OPEX.

• After-sales: Preventive maintenance plans, burner tuning, refractory inspection, bag/filter change-outs.

Conclusion

For Cameroon’s hospitals and institutional buyers, HICLOVER medical waste incinerators deliver proven throughput—~150 kg/h and ~500 kg/h—with the automation, safety, and air-pollution control required for modern healthcare. Whether installed at the Ministry of Defense Hospital or regional facilities, HICLOVER’s dual-chamber, PLC-controlled systems provide a durable path to safer, compliant medical waste disposal.
