The Matrix treatment process (Alkaline Oxidation) relies, as its chief means of disinfection, shredded biomedical waste to a high pH environment, generated by the addition of Calcium Oxide (Quicklime fines) and water. The process of lime hydration and mixing with the shredded waste stream within a controlled residence time, elevates pH and temperature thereby disinfecting waste prior to compaction and transport to landfill. The 3 steps include 1. Shredding 2. Disinfecting with Calcium Oxide and 3. Dewatering and compacting the mixture and transporting to landfill
