System and method for continually growing high populations of active and adapted facultative anaerobes using organic wastes containing indigenous microbiology

A method for producing active- and source water-adapted facultative anaerobes in a vessel defining a volume for containing liquid, the method comprising:

• seeding, in the vessel, a heel starter culture including facultative anaerobes in culture media in a heel starter amount to settle on a base of the vessel;
• receiving, in the vessel, source water including food source for the facultative anaerobes;
• directing the source water towards the base of the vessel;
• growing the starter culture under anaerobic conditions for a growth period sufficient to induce growth of the facultative anaerobes into a cannibalistic state;
• filling the vessel with the source water to produce a mixture including the source water and facultative anaerobes until the volume of the mixture is at or slightly below an operating volume of the vessel;
• outflowing the mixture out of the vessel through an outflow port emplaced at a height above the base until the volume of the mixture is decreased to a heel volume that is determined by the height of the outflow port above the base;
• introducing an amount of spore state culture including facultative anaerobes into the mixture at the heel volume;
• and
• harvesting the outflowed mixture for the active- and source water-adapted facultative anaerobes.
