How to Set Water Quantity?
The water quantity shall be determined according to the actual conditions of the hospital. For example, the operational regulations of process units can be formulated and set based on the number of hospital beds.
How to Ensure Water Quality Safety?
In accordance with the Code for Design of Hospital Wastewater Treatment and practical hospital operation experience, complete the treatment of medical wastewater properly, including disinfection, sterilization and Medical Wastewater Monitoring. Only in this way can the discharged wastewater fully comply with relevant standards.
What are the Discharge Standards for Medical Wastewater?
The standards are formulated based on the scale and type of the hospital.
For instance, infectious disease wastewater and non-infectious disease wastewater shall be treated separately in hospitals. Infectious disease wastewater and fecal sewage can only be combined with other wastewater for further treatment after professional disinfection, and there are specified standard values for the disinfection of such wastewater and fecal sewage.
Meanwhile, there are also implementation standards for wastewater discharged into surface water or rivers. The requirements for medical wastewater standards vary in different links, locations and wastewater categories.
As mentioned above, coliform bacteria is the key monitoring indicator to judge whether fecal pollution in wastewater meets the standard. The WECT-900 Online Coliform Analyzer can be adopted for real-time detection.
Principles to be Followed in the Medical Wastewater Treatment Process
- Abide by relevant national regulations, reasonably determine the parameters for wastewater treatment and monitoring based on the hospital’s actual conditions, and conduct accurate data analysis to evaluate water quality status.
- Adopt automatic monitoring equipment to facilitate staff operation and reduce labor intensity.
- Ensure the reliability of the wastewater treatment process. On the premise of convenient instrument operation, prioritize the application of new technologies to achieve optimal treatment efficiency.
In summary, medical wastewater requires standardized disinfection, together with real-time monitoring of all water quality indicators, to guarantee full compliance of all indicators for discharge.
