The invention relates to an apparatus and process useful for the biological transformation of waste materials into ecologically desirable materials. A meta system reactor is disclosed comprising three primary zones which are cyclically and dynamically connected by a circulating fluid. In the process of the invention, each of a bioreactor zone, solids ecoreactor zone and georeactor zone further comprise secondary subsystems and are cyclically connected by a series of recycle flows and organism movements to bioconvert the contained materials. The converted materials produced can be desirable and ecologically beneficial end products comprising gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor; a biologically active and highly beneficial humus material; and clean water which may be passed through a final wetlands polishing and biomonitoring system before discharge into a natural receiving water.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention comprises an apparatus, hereinafter referred to as a meta system reactor (MSR), which is operative with or without the process of the invention, to achieve biological transformation of waste materials into ecologically desirable materials.
The MSR comprises three primary subsystems or zones which are cyclically and dynamically connected by a circulating fluid communication/transport medium.
A bioreactor zone contains at least one microbial environment together with a microbial biomass; a solids ecoreactor zone contains a wetlands environment comprising plants, animals and microorganisms adequate to capture solids from the bioreactor zone; and, a georeactor zone comprises a porus mixture of sand, gravel, or other inert material with a complex flora and fauna of living organisms.
In the process of the invention, each of the bioreactor zone, solids ecoreactor zone, and georeactor zone further comprise secondary subsystems which are cyclically connected by a series of recycle flows and organism movements to bioconvert the contained materials.
The converted materials produced by the MSR can be desirable and ecologically beneficial end products comprising gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor; a biologically active and highly beneficial humus material; and clean water which may be passed through a final wetlands polishing and biomonitoring system before discharge into a natural receiving water.
The MSR is operated by controlling recycle flows, organism movements, and growth through an operational environment which promotes the creative enhancement of biological diversity and capability, the rational optimizing of bioconversion functionality, and the maintenance of covariance in terms of all informational, material, and chemical exchanges between or among the various subsystems within the MSR as a whole.
