Abstract:
A vermicomposting system for treating waste water streams that includes a pretreatment stage for converting liquid or semi-liquid organic waste streams into a feedstock for vermicomposting; a vermicomposting digestion stage having populations of worms and beneficial bacteria which consume and break down organic material and nutrients present in the feedstock from the pretreatment stage to create worm castings, vermicompost, and a liquid compost tea that contains plant nutrients, plant growth promoting substances, and beneficial bacteria; and a post-treatment stage in which the liquid compost tea is removed for use as an soil amendment or inoculant, or is further treated in a separate containment tank where nutrients and oxygen levels are controlled to increase specific bacterial and fungal populations.

Claim (Index 15):
A vermicomposting system for converting a waste water stream into worm castings and compost tea, comprising:\n a waste water containment tank to store liquid and semi liquid organic waste streams; a fluid line connecting said waste water containment tank to at least a vermicomposting containment tank; a pump for pumping waste water from said waste water containment tank to said vermicomposting containment tank; an anaerobic vermicomposting tank including an upper composting level and a lower anaerobic digesting level, and a filter screen separating said upper composting level from said lower anaerobic digesting level; a distribution line with terminal outlets for distributing the waste water from said waste water containment tank over said upper composting level; a pH adjustment tank in fluid communication with said lower level and having a pH sensor and pH adjustment means, said buffer tank accepting leachate from said lower level; an aerobic vermicomposting tank in fluid communication with said pH adjustment tank for receiving adjusted leachate from said pH adjustment tank; and a compost tea storage tank in fluid communication with said aerobic vermicomposting tank through a fluid line.
