LOW OXYGEN ORGANIC WASTE BIOCONVERSION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention is directed to a substantially odorless biological treatment process for solid and liquid organic wastes for converting organic waste into a beneficial humus material comprising; collecting organic waste; combining said organic waste with an aquous or water containing flowable stream thereby creating a combined waste stream; treating said combined waste stream in an aqueous environment containing 1013 or more biological microorganisms with an average doubling time of less time than 30 days to promote the growth of microbial populations thereby subjecting the organic waste to biological conversion and treatment; monitoring the amount of dissolved oxygen in said aqueous environment; maintaining less than 2.0mg/1 of dissolved oxygen in said aqueous environment via an aeration means to promote the growth of microorganisms using facultative pathways; and separating solids from the aqueous environment for the recovery of an organic humus material. The present invention also provides for a novel nutrient rich humus material produced from the biological treatment process. The bioconversion process of the present invention results from low oxygen concentrations and high quantities of microorganisms in a diverse microbial community.
