Workmen and the i8-250 incinerator

Incineration used in fight against HIV in Zimbabwe

The prevention of HIV in Africa has been an ongoing issue for decades and the United Nations has always been at the forefront of providing solutions to the most common problems such as how to prevent the spread of disease and how to correctly dispose of contaminated waste.

These two main issues give rise to a multitude of risks such as cross-contamination and increased fatalities. The United Nations required two high capacity i8-250 Medical Incinerators for installation at two sites in Harare and Bulawayo for this project.

The i8-250 allows the operators to destroy contaminated waste on-site which removes the risk of the disease spreading and combusts the materials at high enough temperatures to leave only a sterile ash residue, which is safe to dispose of.

As a dedicated supplier to worldwide Humanitarian efforts, we here at INCINER8 believe this is a great step in the right direction to help the international community to combat and eradicate this harrowing disease.
