Device for seeding bacterial cultures to systems to assist in biodegrading waste

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The system and device of the present invention consists of a package or sock which is fabricated from a porous material, and which is filled with dried bacterial cultures or microorganisms which are suitable for degrading waste.
In use, the sock is immersed in a waste stream and as sewage flows through the porous sock the dried bacteria are wetted and released into the stream to act on sewage, oil, grease, H.
sub.
2 S, and other organics present in a typical municipal collection system.
In addition to the bacterial culture, the sock may optionally also contain additive materials which function to stimulate growth of the bacteria and enzyme production.
The sock may also be enclosed in a protective outer casing which is provided with openings to allow the waste stream to directly contact the sock.
Alternatively the device may comprise a solid enclosed outer casing which contains the cultures.
In this embodiment the casing would contain one or more openings to allow the bacteria to be released into the waste stream.
