Septic system cleaning

Abstract

A composition including the fermentation supernatant from a fermentation of yeast is intended to be conveniently introduced through the wastewater plumbing system of a private home or other facility into a septic system servicing the home or other facility to substantially accelerate the ability of the bacteria resident in the septic system to substantially digest biologically available organic compounds present in the septic system, and methods of accomplishing the same.

1 . A composition for cleaning a septic system by being introduced into the septic system through the wastewater disposal plumbing system of a facility served by the septic system comprising a common household cleaning product carrier liquid, and a protein component from the fermentation of yeast intermixed with the carrier liquid, the protein component being present in an amount sufficient relative to the total wastewater flow through the septic system to substantially accelerate the ability of the bacteria resident in the septic system to digest biologically available organic compounds present in the septic system.  
     
     
         2 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the carrier liquid contains a surface active agent to which the proteins of the protein component of the fermentation supernatant bind.  
     
     
         3 . The composition of  claim 2  wherein the surface active agent is non-ionic, anionic or amphoteric.  
     
     
         4 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the carrier liquid is a detergent.  
     
     
         5 . A composition for cleaning a septic system by being introduced into the septic system through the wastewater disposal plumbing system of a facility served by the septic system comprising a common household cleaning product carrier liquid, and a fermentation supernatant from the fermentation of yeast intermixed with the carrier liquid, the fermentation supernatant being present in an amount sufficient relative to the total wastewater flow through the septic system to substantially accelerate the ability of the bacteria resident in the septic system to digest biologically available organic compounds present in the septic system.  
     
     
         6 . The composition of  claim 5  wherein the carrier liquid contains a surface active agent to which the proteins of the protein component of the fermentation supernatant bind.  
     
     
         7 . The composition of  claim 6  wherein the surface active agent is non-ionic, anionic or amphoteric.  
     
     
         8 . The composition of  claim 5  wherein the carrier liquid is a detergent.  
     
     
         9 . A composition for cleaning a septic system by being introduced into the septic system through the wastewater disposal plumbing system of a facility served by the septic system comprising a common household cleaning product carrier liquid, and a protein enriched cleaning solution containing a protein component from the fermentation of yeast intermixed with the carrier liquid, the protein enriched cleaning solution being present in an amount sufficient relative to the total wastewater flow through the septic system to substantially accelerate the ability of the bacteria resident in the septic system to digest biologically available organic compounds present in the septic system.  
     
     
         10 . The composition of  claim 9  wherein the carrier liquid contains a surface active agent to which the proteins of the protein component of the fermentation supernatant bind.  
     
     
         11 . The composition of  claim 10  wherein the surface active agent is non-ionic, anionic or amphoteric.  
     
     
         12 . The composition of  claim 9  wherein the carrier liquid is a detergent. supernatant bind.  
     
     
         13 . A method of cleaning a septic system servicing a facility having a wastewater plumbing system within the facility discharging into the septic system comprising introducing into the wastewater plumbing system a liquid comprising a common household cleaning product carrier and a protein component from the fermentation of yeast, the protein component being present in an amount sufficient relative to the total wastewater flow through the septic system to substantially accelerate the ability of the bacteria resident in the septic system to digest biologically available organic compounds present in the septic system.  
     
     
         14 . A method of cleaning a septic system servicing a facility having a wastewater plumbing system within the facility discharging into the septic system comprising introducing into the wastewater plumbing system a liquid comprising a common household cleaning product carrier and a fermentation supernatant from the fermentation of yeast, the fermentation supernatant being present in an amount sufficient relative to the total wastewater flow through the septic system to substantially accelerate the ability of the bacteria resident in the septic system to digest biologically available organic compounds present in the septic system.  
     
     
         15 . A method of cleaning a septic system servicing a facility having a wastewater plumbing system within the facility discharging into the septic system comprising introducing into the wastewater plumbing system a liquid comprising a common household cleaning product carrier and a protein enriched cleaning solution containing a protein component from the fermentation of yeast, the protein rich cleaning solution being present in an amount sufficient relative to the total wastewater flow through the septic system to substantially accelerate the ability of the bacteria resident in the septic system to digest biologically available organic compounds present in the septic system.  
     
     
         16 . A composition for treating wastewater in a system comprising a common household cleaning product carrier liquid, and a protein component from the fermentation of yeast intermixed with the carrier liquid, the protein component being present in an amount sufficient relative to the total wastewater in the system to substantially accelerate the ability of the bacteria resident in the system to digest biologically available organic compounds present in the system.
