Radioactive waste disposal system for medical facilities
Handle radioactive waste safely by utilizing an automated system that ensures compliance with decay standards and environmental regulations, minimizing health risks and simplifying waste management processes in nuclear medicine and radiopharmaceutical applications.
Processes and Decays Radioactive Wastewater
The ISP – Radioactive Waste Disposal System from Comecer provides a robust solution for the safe handling and processing of radioactive waste byproducts in healthcare environments. This system employs a comprehensive approach using storage tanks for decay, purification units, and gamma spectrometers, ensuring safe and compliant disposal of radiopharmaceutical waste. It is particularly valuable for processing Technetium-99m generators and Iodine-131 capsules, managing liquid wastes generated in nuclear medicine facilities and hospitals. Designed for continuous, automated operation, the plant integrates remote management via a Computerised Synoptic System, streamlining waste monitoring and disposal. It offers flexible material options with advanced corrosion resistance to withstand harsh environmental conditions while maintaining operational integrity. The system complies with rigorous safety and environmental standards, complemented by engineering support for customization to meet specific facility requirements.
