Storm water remediatory bioconversion system

A process for the bioconversion of soluble and suspended organics from storm water runoff, consisting essentially of:

• introducing an aqueous storm water runoff stream comprising insoluble debris, inorganic materials and an aqueous component comprising suspended potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen values containing materials and soluble potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen values containing materials, into a bioreactor having an aerobic zone and an anaerobic zone;
• settling inorganic materials and insoluble debris in a generally anaerobic zone of said bioreactor;
• treating said aqueous component of said stream with a metallic salt to form a precipitable phosphorus complex and having suspended phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen containing materials within said aqueous component;
• conditioning, within said aerobic zone, said treated aqueous component in which a precipitable phosphorus complex has been formed to enhance the formation of facultative bacteria therein;
• forming, within said aerobic and anaerobic zones, a biomass containing enhanced facultative bacteria sufficient to actively bioconvert soluble phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen materials contained within said aqueous component;
• transporting said aqueous component containing enhanced facultative bacteria, bioconverted phosphorus, complexed and precipitable phosphorus, suspended phosphorus, suspended potassium and nitrogen materials, precipitatable potassium and nitrogen containing materials and bioconverted potassium and nitrogen materials to an ecoreactor;
• bioconverting said transported aqueous component and precipitating a beneficial humus material containing complexed and bioconverted phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen containing organics;
• and,
• recovering or discharging water from said ecoreactor, said water containing phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen values in an amount reduced from the values introduced to said bioreactor.
