Abstract:
A method of treating waste water passed through a conduit system comprising at least one conduit extending from at least one entry point to a discharge point and including at least one quiescent zone where water is at least temporarily slowed in its displacement towards the discharge point, the method including introducing an inoculum into the system at at least one primary inoculation site for facilitating its entry into the quiescent zone where it incubates and forms an inoculum culture that influences the type and quantity of certain microorganism populations in the system both within the quiescent zone and downstream thereof, the inoculum culture encouraging micro-organisms that assist with the break down or degradation of organic compounds within the system and retarding micro-organisms that tend to form undesirable compounds from the organic compounds in the system.
