Abstract:
1. A method of wastewater treatment, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing a first treatment vessel having at least one inlet port for receiving wastewater and at least one outlet port for removing at least partially treated wastewater, b) introducing at least one FABG in the first treatment vessel, the FABG comprising a biological host material supported above an air dispensing manifold in a vertical column like sub-chamber that is positioned for partial isolation any surrounding fluid introduced in the first treatment vessel to generate a continuous supply of facultative aerobic bacteria, c) charging the FABG with bacteria for digesting organic wastes, d) disposing at least one filter media between the first inlet port and the first outlet port for trapping solid waste and supporting bacterial colonies, e) introducing wastewater into the first treatment vessel via the first inlet port, f) aerating the wastewater via the FABG to encourage the growth of the bacteria colonies on the filter media that trap the solid waste wherein substantially all of the organic material in the solid waste is converted to carbon dioxide, with the remaining portion thereof being consumed in enlarging the bacterial colonies.
