Claims9
The method for treating sewage treatment systems for elimination of grease, hydrogen sulfide, and sewage odors where said systems contain an adequate source of proxeroninase, comprising the step of:
- (a) adding a commercial source of proxeronine into various grease traps located along the sewage treatment system, the addition of proxeronine to proxeroninase being in a sufficient quantity to yield xeronine which stimulates metabolic function of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria which breaks down grease.
A method for eliminating grease, hydrogen sulfide, and sewage odors from sewage treatment systems containing no adequate source of proxeroninase, comprising the steps of:
- (a) mixing a source of proxeroninase with a source of peroxeronine;
- and
- (b) adding said mixture to a sewage treatment system,
- the proxeroninase and the proxeronine being in a sufficient quantity to yield a sufficient quantity of xeronine to stimulate the metabolism of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria which breaks down grease.
