    摘要: An aerobic bio-restoration aqueous system is contained in an artificial ecosystem that treats contaminated water to yield a natural balance or state wherein indigenous flora, fauna, insects and animal life thrive. The system contains a reactor that has exterior walls for enclosing contaminated water. The walls can be solid, but generally contain one or more perforated areas. An important advantage of the present invention is that the perforated areas such as openings, holes, etc., allow the aqueous matter to flow into as well as out of the artificial ecosystem. The ecosystem reactor can be located in a lake, a pond, or other aqueous environments. Water can flow into the artificial ecosystem and be bio-remediated, by utilizing natural flow and/or currents of the aqueous ecosystem. Various types of one or more inert media substrates containing pores that generally contain one or more microorganisms therein serve to bio-remediate various matter contained in the aqueous system such as contaminated water, e.g. industrial contaminates, residential contaminates, commercial contaminates, sewage, or corrosive compounds, and the like as well as bio-sludge. Other matter that can be bio-remediated include algae, food wastes including dissolved sugar sources, fats, grease, oils, and also excrement from animals such as humans, cows, horses, pigs, chickens, and the like as well as various sulfur, nitrogen, phosphates, and carbon compounds. The inert media substrates are generally contained in a perforated bag or pipe. Optionally, an aerator can be utilized to supply air to the artificial ecosystem.
