Claim:
1. A clinical analyser wastewater treatment apparatus comprising: a first pipe connected to a clinical analyser for receiving a stream of wastewater from the clinical analyser; a first holding tank connected to the first pipe for receiving the stream of wastewater; an anodic oxidation section located downstream from the first holding tank, the anodic oxidation section having an inlet for receiving a stream of wastewater from first holding tank and an outlet for dispensing a stream of the wastewater after processing in the anodic oxidation section; a second holding tank for receiving a stream of the wastewater after processing in the anodic oxidation section, the second holding tank having an outlet; a carbonator section for receiving a stream of wastewater from the outlet of the second holding tank; a UV disinfection section; a sensor positioned downstream from the carbonator for receiving a stream of wastewater after processing in the carbonator section; and a recirculation pipe having a first end connected downstream from the UV disinfection section but before a drainpipe, the recirculation pipe second end located at a position so as to recirculate a stream of wastewater after UV disinfection back to the second holding tank based on sensed data.
