    The higher water use by jacketed autoclaves resulted in an estimated water cost of $764 per jacketed autoclave per year, compared to $23 for non-jacketed autoclaves. With over 100 steam-jacketed autoclaves on campus, the author calculated that using jacketed autoclaves for research tasks translated into an additional $74,000 in annual excess ...

  4. Waste autoclave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_autoclave

    A waste autoclave is a form of solid waste treatment that uses heat, steam and pressure of an industrial autoclave in the processing of waste. Waste autoclaves process waste either in batches or in continuous-flow processes. In batch processes, saturated steam is pumped into the autoclave at temperatures around 160 °C, or 320 °F. [1]
