From conflicts, war, natural disasters and disease outbreak, humanitarian crises can develop. In these situations, countries’ and communities’ health, safety, security and general wellbeing are in danger.
Incineration for Disease Outbreak
In a disease outbreak, the waste is likely to be infectious waste, which can be a threat to anyone who comes into contact with it. Containment is vital in preventing the spread of infection and disease.
Over the years, INCINER8 has contributed to the containment and control of some of the most destructive disease outbreaks. We have been instrumental in providing high-temperature medical waste incinerators to safely destroy infected waste, for example, Ebola in Liberia to SARS in South East Asia.

Ebola is a deadly disease and has caused the loss of hundreds of lives in West Africa. After use with infected patients, potential carriers of the virus include bed linen, medical instruments and tools, clothing and mattresses. Therefore, proper actions must be in place for the safe disposal of these materials.

Being deployed quickly and cheaply to the places where they are needed most, INCINER8’s range of medical incinerator units can be used by any humanitarian or aid agency during a crisis. Mobile incinerators enable rapid processing over a large area. Due to the risks of cross-contamination, packaging and transporting, this type of waste is not an option. Therefore, hazardous waste must be treated at the source.

Incinerators for Conflict and War Zones
People are often left fleeing their homes, seeking safety because of war, famine, economics and persecution and one of the largest refugee camps in the world holds around 630,000 with other refugee settlements gaining in numbers. There are also hundreds of large military camps in similarly remote areas that require similar facilities.

Municipal solid waste is generated from refugee camps and military camps, mostly compromising cardboard, food waste, paper, plastics and wood. A large number of people are living at these camps. Therefore it is often needed for medical treatment. Medical waste should be disposed of swiftly to avoid the risk of infection.

Many refugee and military camps are remote, so the transportation of waste can be near impossible. Our incineration systems can offer immediate waste management because the units are assembled and pre-installed. Our medium and larger incinerators can be fitted with heat exchangers (for hot water and hot air) or waste to energy modules to produce electricity for the camps.
Incineration in the Event of Natural Disasters
Natural disasters occur worldwide and cannot be completely prevented. Causing a lot of damage to buildings, people and the surrounding environment, the remaining damage often consists of collapsed trees and rubble, dead wildlife and livestock, debris from collapsed buildings, as well as general waste. Natural disasters often cause deaths in communities. If this waste is not removed and treated immediately, it can very quickly become contaminated and threaten human life.

INCINER8 has provided most of the major NGOs and charitable organizations with waste solutions, having sold and commissioned thousands of machines since we began in 2004 with this type of humanitarian crisis.
The company’s range of emergency incinerators provide immediate waste management to natural disaster zones. Arriving onsite with a fully installed fuel supply, electrical generators, and control panels ready to be used, the company’s containerized incinerators are the perfect solution.
