Bioreactor Startup Services
Our team will provide the inoculum (specially cultivated bacteria). You can expect to wait 1 -3 weeks for the inoculum to colonize the inside of the bioreactor "towers". We will make arrangements to provide an external carbon source (required by the bacteria). Normally we use locally available waste water with high levels of organic material but we can also provide waste glycerol, for example, from a local biodiesel refinery. You may use your own source of external carbon, providing that Tailwater can see the material safety data sheet (MSDS) first.
As part of the startup process, we will insure the system is fully integrated into our cloud-based monitoring service. This service tracks the operation of the system 24 hours a day and will alert us or your staff if any additional servicing is required.
