NOVELTY - Treatment (I) of organic waste (A) comprises digesting (A) under anaerobic conditions to convert at least a portion of (A) to produce a clear decant and a mixture (B) (biomass and unconverted organic compounds), returning at least a first portion of (B) for digestion to control the system net growth rate, partially oxidizing at least a second portion of (B) to produce conditioned effluent and returning the conditioned effluent for digestion.    USE - The treatment of organic waste useful to produce gaseous byproducts that are captured and used for energy production within or outside of the waste treatment system.    ADVANTAGE - The process improves the biodegradation of organic waste and reduces the generation of unwarranted pollutants from the biological process.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for    (1) the treatment (II) of (A) comprising contacting (A) with anaerobic acidogenic microorganisms to convert at least a portion of (A) to produce an acidic effluent comprising biomass, acidic organic compounds and unconverted organic compounds, contacting the acidic effluent with anaerobic methanogenic microorganisms to convert at least a portion of the acidic effluent to gaseous carbon compounds to produce a clear decant and (B), subjecting at least a portion of (B) to electrolysis to produce a conditioned effluent and recycling the conditioned effluent to contact (A) with anaerobic acidogenic microorganisms;    (2) the treatment (III) of (A) comprising contacting (A) with anaerobic acidogenic microorganisms to convert at least a portion of (A) to produce a first clear decant comprising organic acids and a first (B), returning at least a portion of first (B) to contact (A) with anaerobic acidogenic microorganisms, contacting the first clear decant with anaerobic methanogenic microorganisms to convert at least a portion of the organic acids to gaseous carbon compounds and produce a second clear decant and a second (B), returning at least a portion of the second (B) to contact the first clear decant with anaerobic methanogenic microorganisms, subjecting at least a portion of first (B) and a portion of the second (B) to electrolysis to produce a conditioned effluent and returning the conditioned effluent to contact anaerobic acidogenic microorganisms to control the system net growth rate;    (3) the treatment (IV) of (A) comprising digesting (A) in the presence of microorganisms to convert at least a portion of (A) to produce a clear decant and (B), producing an oxidizing agent by subjecting an aqueous feed stream containing an oxidizing agent precursor to electrolysis to produce a stream of oxidizing agent, partially oxidizing at least a portion of (b) with the stream of oxidizing agent to produce a conditioned effluent and returning the conditioned effluent for digestion; and    (4) the treatment (V) of (A) comprising digesting (A) under anaerobic conditions to convert at least a portion of (A) to produce a clear decant and (B), returning at least a first portion of (B) for digestion to control the system net growth rate, producing an oxidizing agent by electrolysis of an aqueous feed stream, partially oxidizing at least a second portion of (B) with the oxidizing agent to produce a conditioned effluent and returning the conditioned effluent for digestion.
