This project work is on design, construction and testing of medical waste incinerator. It was designed and constructed to solve the problems of littering and landfilling of medical waste around university clinic (i.e. UAM), to avoid human and environmental effects. It was constructed from available local materials such as basic standard size ordinary building bricks all to a number of about 175 pieces. Other materials used were mild steel, wood sheets and pipes. The features of this incinerator model comprised a simple dual compartment; burning zones, natural draught air inlet opening, a chimney, toploading and ash removal doors. This model was designed to be operated at temperatures of 800oC and higher. The performance of the incinerator varied and depended on the moisture content of the medical waste.
The foundation was the first part made on the ground. It was made with normal cement aggregate casted on a 2m foundation trench. The size was 5m. A standard concrete mix 3:2 aggregate of sand, and cement were used. The body of the incinerator was arranged in line into a five by four bricks matrix without spacing for mortar. This arrangement was built up to ten layers making openings for the position of top loading door access, ash removal door and chimney channels.
