Integrated Waste Management Systems (IWMS)
is seeking a partnership with Baker County tois seeking a partnership with Baker County to
build a Bio-Medical Waste Thermal Reduction
Facility (BMWTRF) to provide jobs for the
county and service the rapidly growing medical
waste needs of the region.
Bio-Medical Waste Thermal Reduction Facilities deal with just that: all the bio-medical waste that a hospital or medical facility produces.
This kind of waste cannot just go straight to a landfill. By law, it must be properly processed fi tfirst.
EPA Air Regulations for these facilities changed in 2009 and became m ch more strictin 2009 and became much more strict.
Now, all current facilities have to be fully li i h h l b 2014compliant with the new rules by 2014.
Retrofitting is expensive and many facilities are ffalling behind or closing shop.
The US only has 57 active bio-medical waste facilities, and in Florida, there is only 1 left for �‘open use�’.

Burned gaseous byproducts flow throughBurned gaseous byproducts flow through extensive Fabric Filter Baghouse system.
Filter system removes particles from the gaseousFilter system removes particles from the gaseous stream. Acids are neutralized with baking soda.
Final byproduct is smokeless odorless andFinal byproduct is smokeless, odorless, and inert.
This system meets the stringent 2014 EPAThis system meets the stringent 2014 EPA regulations.
IWMS did extensive needs analysis that looked at two ymajor factors:
1.) Areas with multiple major medical facilities with declining options for required disposal of medical waste.declining options for required disposal of medical waste.2.) Access to major interstate systems.
Finalists for IWMS included Georgia and Ohio,g ,but Baker County won out because it is near NE FL�’s large system of medical facilities and it is ideally located on the I 10 transportationis ideally located on the I-10 transportation corridor.
BMWTRF works in three major steps: Receiving Reducing and DisposalReceiving, Reducing, and Disposal
Step 1 �– Receiving:Medical facilities load and seal their bioMedical facilities load and seal their bio-medical waste in specifically marked boxes and prepare them for transport.Waste arrives at the BMWTRF where it is unloaded and weighed.The boxes are then separated by weight and staged for incineration.
St 2 R d iStep 2 �– Reducing:
The reduction process is a scienceThe reduction process is a science.
The sealed waste boxes are combined appropriately to achieve the greatest amount of reduction with the least amount of byproduct.
St 3 Di lStep 3 �– Disposal :This process reduces the content by 95% of its original eightoriginal weight.
The 5% balance is now inert and is ready for di l t li d l dfilldisposal at a licensed landfill.
Safety First:yThe safety features built into this facility are state of the art.They are designed to adhere to all safety and operational y g y pprotocol.
Great technology means cleaner air.The air emissions comply with the rigorous 2014 State & Federal standards.
This facility makes its own energy. The most innovative part of the Baker County facility is that it will create its own electricity.
PHASE ONE PHASE TWO
The facility will look to hire 59 employees for
When Phase Two is built this facility willhire 59 employees for
all levels of skill by the end of 2013.
built this facility will look to hire another 40-50 workers.
IWMS will coordinate with WorkSource in Macclenny when staff hiring begins.
Thank you for your time, consideration,
and the opportunity toand the opportunity to share our proposal with you.
