Abstract
An on site bioremediation system that delivers logarithmically growing, active microorganisms from the culture vessel directly to the biodegradable waste to be metabolized is disclosed. The system includes a controller, culture vessel and separate containers of stock microorganisms and nutrient medium. The periodic or continuous addition of stock microorganisms and fresh nutrient media is controlled by a computer. After a particular cell density is reached, the active, logarithmically growing microorganisms flow out of the system to the waste site on a periodic or continuous basis.
