NOVELTY - Conversion of organic material into an output product, comprises: introducing inoculant to the material, where the inoculant comprises combination of aerobic micro-organisms, anaerobic micro-organisms and heterotrophic micro-organisms, and including photosynthetic micro-organisms to form inoculated organic material product; forming the material product into at least one heap; covering heap so that a seal is formed around the heap to substantially maintain the level of moisture within heap; and subjecting the material product to continuous fermentation process to form the output product.    USE - The method is useful for conversion of organic material into an output product (claimed) such as organic acids (humic acid).    ADVANTAGE - The method: reduces or eliminates loss of moisture from the heap during continuous fermentation process thus, maintaining heaps are at their desired moisture content throughout the continuous fermentation process without the need to add additional water to the heaps, or with the addition of only relatively small quantities of water; is operated in such a manner that no additional nutrients are added to the inoculated organic material product during the continuous fermentation process, and no balancing of nutrients is required during the continuous fermentation process, thus resulting in nitrogen fixation upon demand and/or the mobilization and sequestration of a majority of (if not all) mineral nutrients; results in the reduction of undesirable or harmful gases in the atmosphere, and capture of at least one gas (including carbon dioxide, and methane) from the atmosphere, where captured gases are used in the formation of carbon-containing substances within the heap, thus resulting in the sequestration of atmospheric carbon; allows for the conversion of a wide variety of different organic material into a useful product, requires minimal infrastructure and labor, can be used at sites with no power and minimal water supply, can operate consistently with seasonally variable feed stocks, does not generate bad odors and effectively manage the issue of pests or vermin, and produces a high quality product with minimal or no physical contamination; and is cost-effective. The micro-organisms in the inoculant may travel through the heaps using water pathways, thus, while the heaps themselves may be static, the circulation of water through the heaps ensures that micro-organisms constantly move throughout the heaps, ensuring that the continuous fermentation process occurs throughout substantially the entire heap. In the method, effective mixing and generalized heating system is generated through the formation of the heaps rather than being concentrated in at least one location within the heap.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Conversion of organic material into an output product, comprises: introducing an inoculant to the organic material, where the inoculant comprises combination of aerobic micro-organisms, anaerobic micro-organisms and heterotrophic micro-organisms, and including photosynthetic micro-organisms to form an inoculated organic material product; forming the inoculated organic material product into at least one heap; covering the heap such that a seal is formed around the heap to substantially maintain the level of moisture within the heap; and subjecting the inoculated organic material product to a continuous fermentation process to form the output product, where the continuous fermentation process simultaneously comprises aerobic, anaerobic and heterotrophic activity.
