Abstract
Improved methods for the treatment of commingled wastes and process systems for practicing those methods are provided. The methods are practiced by first treating the commingled waste material in a primary treatment unit in the presence of a carrier fluid to separate the organic waste from the inorganic waste. The carrier fluid and the gaseous products from the primary unit are then treated in a flameless oxidizer, which efficiently destroys any remaining organic compounds. In one embodiment, the process gases exiting the flameless oxidizer are recycled to the primary treatment unit.
