Abstract
The current invention relates to treatment of waste water and in particular to treatment of sewerage effluent. The current invention broadly resides in a method of treating waste water in a waste water reticulation system including inoculating the waste water with an inoculum of selected microorganisms at a site prior to the treatment plant in the waste water reticulation system or discharge site where there is no treatment plant in the waste water reticulation system; and incubating the waste water inoculated with the selected microorganisms to form a culture that reduces waste in the inoculated waste water.

A method of treating waste water in a waste water reticulation system including
- inoculating the waste water reticulation system with an inoculum of selected microorganisms at one or more sites prior to the treatment plant in the waste water reticulation system or discharge site where there is no treatment plant in the waste water reticulation system;
- and
- incubating the inoculated waste water to substantially reduce waste in the inoculated waste water;
- wherein the frequency of inoculation and the amount of microorganisms in each inoculum maintains a substantially constant and continuous culture in the waste water reticulation system.
A method of treating waste water in the waste water reticulation system including:
- inoculating the waste water with an inoculum of selected microorganisms at a site through which flows between 25% and 75% of the volume of the waste water in the reticulation system;
- and
- incubating the waste water inoculated with the selected microorganisms to form a culture that reduces waste in the inoculated waste water.
