Oil and gas industry waste stream remediation system, method, and apparatus

A system, comprising:

• a plasma-assisted vitrifier configured to produce syngas, process heat, and vitrified product;
• a feed pipe fluidly connected to the plasma-assisted vitrifier, the feed pipe configured to deliver a feedstock into the plasma-assisted vitrifier;
• a heated combustion air conduit fluidly connected to the plasma-assisted vitrifier;
• a generator selected from the group consisting of a steam generation system and an electrical generation system, wherein the generator is configured to operate with at least one of the syngas and the process heat;
• a device selected from the group consisting of an aggregate production device configured to produce an aggregate from the vitrified product and a fiber production device configured to produce a fiber from the vitrified product, wherein the device is disposed next to the plasma-assisted vitrifier;
• and
• an emissions attenuator fluidly connected to the plasma-assisted vitrifier and configured to treat gaseous emissions generated by the plasma-assisted vitrifier.
