Method and apparatus for in-situ microbial seeding of wastes

摘要

A method and apparatus is provided for the continuous microbial remediation of organic contaminants typically found in sewerage and other wastes utilizing in-situ microbial seeding. A bio-reactor containing microbially inoculated carrier media is attached to an existing treatment device (e.g. septic tank) providing liquid/solids separation. Air and nutrients are supplied to the bio-reactor, ideally from a remote, easily accessible location. Beneficial microbial populations are permitted to thrive and spread throughout the waste-laden environment, mineralizing such organic wastes.
