Page 64 and 65 of the June 2011 Popular Science Magazine has a spread on an inventor's "new device" which macerates sewerage and then injects it into the exhaust of a running engine to get rid of it. The article runs on about all the possible uses, including RV's.
It was not only used on GMC's of the 70's era but the Thermosan system did just that. Wasn't Matt Colie the last engineer on that project? I think I remember his saying that.
Little new under the sun.

Sounds like a macerator running at a reduced flow rate and then injecting
waste into the exhaust. Is this a viable option?

That's how the US Navy does it when they're in ports that don't have a CHT
transfer setup. (Watch out for falling ash.)

So, is that on a very basic level how it works?

I misled.
The navy pumps the effluent under pressure into a burner. The nozzle that
the effluent is injected out of is next to an air jet and the sort of
vaporized mixture is sprayed out over burners using JP5 for fuel.
The Thermosan unit just pumped it into a hot exhaust system. Great for
tailgaiters when the system wasn't working correctly.
