It depends. Its a few days at least. We use bacteria at our sewage treatment plant to eat the sludge. Sludege is what you are saying, right? All of the raw sewage goes though filters then the sledge that collects is eaten up by living bacteria. If your talking about the RidX for septic tanks it will take a few days to multiply and eat sludge in the botton of the tank.
What else can I help you with?
Why is stirofoam non degreatable?
Styrofoam is non-biodegradable because it is made up of long-lasting synthetic polymers that do not easily break down in the environment. These polymers are resistant to bacteria and other natural processes that typically break down organic materials. This causes styrofoam to persist in the environment for hundreds of years, contributing to environmental pollution.
Why can't you compost meat?
Meat should not be composted because it can attract pests and create unpleasant odors. Additionally, meat takes a long time to break down in a compost pile and can introduce harmful bacteria into the soil.

How long does it take for Bacteria to grow on bread?
Bacteria can start to grow on bread within a few hours to a few days, depending on factors such as temperature, moisture, and the type of bacteria present. Storing bread in a cool, dry place can help slow down bacterial growth.
Does bacteria decompose living things?
- Saprobic bacteria invade every inch of the dead body, and begin eating and digesting its tissues. There are many types of bacteria that live inside the body. These bacteria are the first to begin the process of decomposition after an organism dies. The initial bacteria start physical breakdown of muscles. They tear apart the muscle tissue into individual protein strands. More saprobic bacteria soon move in to help break down the organic matter. Because there are so many bacteria in the soil, decomposition occurs more rapidly after a body is buried.- Proteins are broken down by an enzyme called protease that is secreted by fermentative bacteria. This enzyme separates proteins (polypeptides) into amino acids (peptides). It accomplishes this through a process known as hydrolysis. In hydrolysis, a water molecule is inserted between the two amino acids that are bonded together. This breaks the bond between them by capping the free reactive ends with the H and the OH. The protein, therefore, is broken down from long chains into its individual molecules, amino acids.- In the next step, a new group of bacteria called acetogens take over. These bacteria decompose amino acids into acetic acid, hydrogen gas, nitrogen gas, and carbon dioxide gas. To do this, they need oxygen which they obtain from O2 dissolved in the body's fluids or bound in the body's structure.
How long do septic system chlorine tablets last?
Why on earth would you put chlorine into a septic system? The idea is to allow bacteria to break down the waste and liquefy it. If you kill all the bacteria, you have turned the septic system into a sewage storage pit. Plan on pumping it out, a lot.
