Sanitary Waste Disposer

Abstract

The demand for sanitary products is increasing in the society, which in turn results in growing mountains of these wastes. To manage these wastes initiative should be taken to install incinerators across the country to burn sanitary wastes. At the point where the incinerator emissions are being disputed, the mission of devising a machine for the elimination of sanitary waste finds its place. In an attempt to provide with affordable and eco-friendly sanitary waste disposer, the system is designed in such a way that it will incinerate sanitary wastes such as napkins and diapers completely with minimal flue gas emission using the process of filtration, utilizing solar energy, electrical power and energy from bio-fuel. The work targets on the disposal of both sanitary napkins and diapers, which make up a large part of sanitary wastes. The prototype about to develop is mainly based on one of the recent technology in ‘Internet of Things’. IOT devices are used to enable remote health monitoring and emergency notification. Specialized sensors are equipped that enable monitoring of the individuals in changing diapers and its combustion. The whole system is interconnected within a centralized computer network for continuous surveillance.
