Methods and systems for treating a waste stream (202) in a waste treatment system (204) involve performing a unit process (206) by contacting the waste stream (202) with oxyhydrogen-rich gas (214) generated on-site by an oxyhydrogen gas generator (207). The gas generator (207) preferably involves applying a pulsed electrical signal to a series of closely-spaced electrodes that are submerged in the waste stream (202) to dissociate a water component of the waste stream (202), thereby producing oxyhydrogen-rich gas (214, 220). Operation of the gas generator (207) in the waste stream (202) may accomplish one or more unit processes (206) for waste treatment, such as conditioning, stabilization, thickening, and dewatering, among others. At least a portion of the oxyhydrogen-rich gas (220) can be conveyed for a second use (222) in the waste treatment system, such as a source of combustible fuel for incineration or power generation, for example. |
