In 2012 the decision was made to renew the on premise laundry, and an old wing of the hospital was rebuilt to suit.
The movement to reduce industrial waste and pollution in China has been growing, and the decision was made at the start of the laundry project to reduce environmental impact to a minimum.
Space and height limitations determined the selection of washing machinery and a total of 13 washer extractors were installed to meet the daily requirements of this large and busy hospital, typically between 10-15 tonnes of clean sterile linen per day, using 20,000 litres of water per hour.
