A modular waste treatment system for the disinfection of substantially liquid infectious waste streams and methods of treating such waste streams is disclosed. The modular waste treatment system includes a metal ion generation chamber for introducing metal ions into the waste material, an oxidant generation chamber in fluid flow communication with the metal ion generation chamber for disinfection of the waste material with an oxidizing agent, and a chelation chamber in fluid flow communication with the oxidant generation chamber for deactivation of metal ions in the waste material, wherein the waste is discharged to a sewer after disinfection. In some embodiments, the modular waste treatment system comprises a maceration chamber for initial treatment and homogenization of waste material, a metal ion infusion chamber in fluid flow communication with the maceration chamber for introducing metal ions into the waste material, and an oxidation chamber for wet oxidation of the waste stream. |
