Hoskinson’s method of disposing of the most hazardous waste has been used in the medical disposal industry for years.
Years of hands-on research and development specific to the challenges of destroying pathogens, bio-waste, and other material emanating from healthcare facilities.
For more than two decades, Gordon has installed combustion gasifiers in many of the major medical centers in the U.S., including the Medical Center at Emory University and many of the major hospitals in NY. As the waste was combusted, most installations included a boiler to capture the heat and generate steam for use in their medical centers.
