Benefits of technology

[0010] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a composition for cleaning a septic system by being introduced into the septic system through the wastewater disposal plumbing system of a house 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.
[0011] It is another object of the present invention to provide a method of cleaning a septic system servicing a house having a wastewater plumbing system within the house 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.

Problems solved by technology

The clogging up of septic systems and associated drain fields is a problem faced by many homeowners who are not connected to sewer systems.
While the use of a protein enriched cleaning solution could be used by the homeowner to flush out and maintain the system, the periodic and careful application of the correct amount of the cleaning solution imposes a maintenance duty that many homeowners are not ready to shoulder.

Embodiment Construction

[0013] The present invention recognizes that the average American household uses a number of products that literally end up down the drain, and takes advantage of that fact to use these products to introduce into the drain, and hence into a septic system, a protein enriched cleaning solution. According to the present invention, this can be accomplished by adding a fermentation supernatant to a liquid carrier comprising a common household cleaning product in an amount sufficient relative to the total wastewater flow through the septic system to substantially accelerate the natural digestion of biologically available organic compounds present in the septic system by the bacteria resident in the septic system. Because the concentration of the supernatant necessary to adequately perform the cleaning function is dependent on the content of the wastewater, the amount of wastewater produced, and the nature and condition of the soil into which the wastewater will be discharged, it will be r...

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.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 661,254, entitled “Septic System Cleaning,” filed Mar. 10, 2005, which application is hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a composition including the fermentation supernatant from the fermentation of yeast 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. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] A significant number of homes in the United States are not connected to a central sewage disposal and treatment system and rely on local septic systems to treat wa...
