A method and apparatus is provided for the continuous microbial
remediation of organic wastes in sewers and other waste-laden
environments utilizing in-situ microbial seeding. A bio-reactor
containing inoculated carrier media is suspended within a sewer wet-well
or other similar environment, and is at least partially immersed in the
waste-laden fluid to be treated. Air and nutrients are continuously
supplied to the bio-reactor via conduit from a remote, easily accessible
location. Beneficial microbial populations are permitted to thrive and
spread throughout the waste-laden environment, mineralizing organic
wastes and eventually becoming dominant within the subject environment.
