The Pharmafilter infrastructure

This animation shows the concept of Pharmafilter. The waste from a hospital department will be disposed of in a shredder, the Tonto®. This Tonto is conveniently located at the nursing department sanitization station and replaces the conventional bedpan washer. The Tonto is connected to the existing sewer system. Together with the effluent from toilets, sinks and showers, the shredded waste is transported, through the existing hospital piping infrastructure, to a purification plant on the hospital site.
Solid waste is separated from wastewater in the plant. The solid waste is reduced by anaerobic digestion, producing biogas. This gas is re-used for powering the plant. The wastewater is purified and all harmful substances are eliminated
