Methods and systems for growing microbial mass

Abstract

A method of growing a microbial mass includes collecting biowaste from an organism, the biowaste comprising a first amount of water and a first amount of solid-phase; receiving the collected biowaste in a first reactor; treating the collected biowaste in the first reactor using a first set of operating parameters for a first period of time to dissolve at least a part of solid-phase inorganic nutrients into the first amount of water to form a growth media; washing the formed growth media, wherein said washing includes sterilization, separation and cleaning steps; providing the formed growth media to a second reactor including an inoculum of microbial mass; collecting carbon dioxide locally from an atmosphere; collecting a second amount of water present in the atmosphere and splitting the collected second amount of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas; providing the collected carbon dioxide and the split oxygen and hydrogen gas to the second reactor; growing a microbial mass in the second reactor under a second set of operating parameters; and harvesting the grown microbial mass from the second reactor to produce food for consumption by the organism.
