Desorption Plant Aliron's interest in efficient management of waste products goes beyond the medical arena. To help address these concerns Aliron International, Inc. decided to add waste management as one of its core competencies in its portfolio. In Guam, Aliron set up a Thermal Desorption Plant for remediation of contaminated soils and with Aliron's line up of environmentally friendly products and its proven operation and management skill in the area of bioremediation and restoration, the company brings not only environmentally friendly solutions to Guam, but economic and cost effective solutions as well. The company registered with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) through its subsidiary, Aliron Philippines, Inc., to build and operate the first and only state-of-the-art Industrial & Hazardous Waste Facility in that island nation to provide services to the multi-national manufacturers in the zone. Located in Carmelray Industrial Park II in Calamba, Laguna, the technology uses thermal oxidation to process the wastes and to prevent polluting the air a wet scrubber is utilized in compliance with the Philippine and US Clean Air Acts. The company is also pursuing opportunities to use new technology for solid municipal waste management in collaboration with environmental companies in the southeastern United States and the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA). The plan is to create an industry from solid municipal waste by creating a Waste Technology Park that incorporates composting, sorting, recycling, re-manufacturing and sale of materials of value from wastes while providing jobs and housing for the local population. Just like an economic zone foreign and local investors (re-manufacturers) are invited to locate in the zone. Medical waste is generally defined as any solid waste that is generated in the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals, in research or in the production or testing of biologicals, including soiled or blood-soaked bandages, discarded surgical gloves, needles, specimens for culture and more. Such wastes clearly represent a significant health threat to the entire world. To help address these concerns, ALIRON has chosen a state-of-the-art medical waste disposal system. The system uses a revolutionary approach 'fast destruction' combustion approach that only is efficient, but also virtually eliminates pollutants before they are released into the environment. "It reduces such wastes by 99 percent. I'm convinced it is a better technology than the microwave or autoclaving systems widely used today", says Aliron Executive Vice President Ron Grow.
