Medical wastewater contains large amounts of viruses, bacteria, chemical reagents and other harmful substances. A large quantity of bacteria may reproduce in the wastewater after preliminary treatment. Direct discharge of such wastewater will cause serious ecological pollution and pose risks to human health. Therefore, the standard process is to disinfect the wastewater first before discharging it into the municipal wastewater pipe network for further treatment.

Chlorine disinfectants have been widely adopted in hospitals for disinfection purposes. However, active oxygen disinfectants have been gradually promoted for application in recent years. The main component of this type of disinfectant is potassium peroxymonosulfate powder. The disinfectant needs activation before use: mix it with water at a ratio of 1:50 to prepare disinfectant solution, which is then added to hospital disinfection tanks. The dosage should be adjusted according to medical wastewater discharge volume and relevant standards. Operators shall maintain compliance to achieve economical and scientific operation.

Verifying Active Oxygen Compliance in Medical Wastewater

The ROS900 Active Oxygen Online Analyzer can be used to measure active oxygen content. The obtained test data can be compared with standards issued by relevant authorities, so that operators can timely confirm whether the dosage of active oxygen disinfectant is within a reasonable range.

Medical wastewater treatment equipment matters. Failures may disrupt the process. Note the points below:

1. Installation location: Modi recommends installing equipment in concealed areas, which helps protect the surrounding environment.
2. Equipment material: Corrosion-resistant materials are required to prevent wastewater leakage during operation and avoid subsequent environmental pollution.
3. Regular equipment inspection: Routine checks help prevent unexpected breakdowns during operation.
4. Equipment selection: Users shall evaluate equipment quality, service life and safety performance when selecting suitable products.
5. Easy operation: Prefer equipment with simple operation to reduce workload.
6. Customized selection: Select proper wastewater treatment equipment based on the actual conditions of each hospital.

The Medical Wastewater Monitoring stage is essential in the water treatment process. Water quality monitoring equipment manufactured by Modi-Tech is designed for wastewater monitoring applications.
