An autoclave with an upper hatch and a bottom hatch is terminated with elliptical end caps has an agitator placed inside it. The autoclave is inclined in relation to the ground plane. An external jacket is mounted on the cylindrical section of the internal pressure chamber. The jacket is divided into pressure-separated parts Inside the internal pressure chamber a paddle agitator shaft is mounted. The agitator mounting arrangement is out-of-alignment in relation to the axis of symmetry of the autoclave cylindrical section The size of the shift does not exceed of the radial length of the cross-section of the cylindrical section of the internal pressure chamber. The agitator's paddles has two shields shifted in the agitator's axis of symmetry in relation to its paddle by a phase angle equal to 90. The shield height does not exceed of the height of the agitator's paddle.

In a method for controlling unpleasant odors in discharge air from containers, rooms or plants in which strong smelling substances such as feces, waste or highly odorous foods are stored or processed, a fluid is introduced into the discharge air in a finely distributed form, which physically and/or chemically neutralizes the odor of the substances contained in the discharge air. The fluid is a 0.1% to 8% aqueous solution of an active substance concentrate which is 55-65 wt.-% triethylcitrate, 17.5 to 22.5 wt.-% 1,2 propanediol and 17.5 to 22 wt.- % di-propylene glycol-methylether. Alternatively, the fluid can also be a mixture of a suitable propellant gas mixture and the active substance concentrate specified above.

A gas transfer system including a housing, a pressurized gas canister held by the housing, a first passageway in fluid communication with the pressurized gas canister and configured to supply pressurized pre-sterilization gas from the pressurized gas canister to a fluid flow component, a gas discharge canister held by the housing; and a second passageway in fluid communication with the gas discharge canister and configured to supply post soak gas from the fluid flow component to the gas discharge canister. A humidification system or device is included for the sterile humidification of sterilizing gas. Additional related devices, systems and methods are provided.

The invention relates to a system for containing medical waste with a bag and a machine for producing said bag. It relates to a reusable, hermetically sealed, metal container for medical waste, with a bag and locks or latches, which prevent the lid from being opened until the waste inside the same has been sterilized by the pressurized steam of an autoclave. It also relates to said plastic bag made up of two or more layers of different physical properties, configured into a single body. Said bag is housed inside the aforementioned hermetically sealed container. It also relates to a machine for producing these bags with a winder, folder and several sealers using heat resistance inserted into conveyer belts.
