Abstract:
A method of treating waste water comprising:collecting waste water using a reticulation system terminating in at least one treatment plant, at least one discharge site, or combinations thereof; inoculating an inoculum of selected microorganisms into the waste water using at least one primary, at least one secondary, and at least one tertiary inoculation site prior to the treatment plant in the waste water reticulation system or discharge site; 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 and wherein the tertiary site further inoculates with the inoculum of selected microorganisms at a site where nearly all of the waste water effluent in the reticulation system is treated.
