description Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of personal protective equipment in the community has contributed to the increasing amount of medical waste. Medical waste from the COVID-19 pandemic is classified as infectious medical waste which is waste related to patients who need isolation from infectious diseases. one of the solutions offered is a medical waste incinerator. By studying the medical waste incinerator model in the hospital, the researchers finally took the initiative to do a simple incinerator design. the incinerator to be used is updraft gasifier type. It is hoped that the use of this incinerator will be able to solve the existing medical waste problem. In this study, the researchers use experemental approach to get the basic data from the reactor. After gain the data, then the researcher use numerical approach which is using ansys softwere to get a better look of the temperature contour on the rector. From both study, researcher can conclude tha it would take an upgrade on the existing blower to incenerate the medical waste on a safely temperature.
