A system and method are provided for aerobic treatment of waste, such as animal
or human waste. The method includes the continual introduction of microalgae. The
high amounts of oxygen produced by the microalgae satisfies the biochemical oxygen
demand in the treatment process and also allows oxidation of undesirable contaminants.
Delivery of the microalgae at a desired rate is achieved by incorporation of a
series of electrical and mechanical devices housed within a greenhouse type structure
which optimizes growth conditions for the microalgae, and also allows the system
to be automated.
