Abstract: Methods of preparing a feed stream for supercritical water oxidation from at least two waste streams are described herein. The method generally involves monitoring contaminant concentration, total dissolved solids concentration, viscosity, salt concentration, and calorific value of each waste stream and combining those waste streams, and optionally a non-waste additive, into a single feed stream to achieve a specific contaminant concentration, total dissolved solids concentration, viscosity, salt concentration, and calorific value prior to supercritical water oxidation. The disclosure also describes systems capable of monitoring contaminant concentration, total dissolved solids, viscosity (solids concentration and particle size), salt concentration, and calorific value in at least two waste streams, combining those waste streams into a new feed stream, and monitoring that feed stream to ensure compatibility with continuous feed into a supercritical water oxidation reactor.
