The tablets are probably enzymes, when what you need are the
microorganisms that produced the enzymes. You may need to produce your
own packaged inoculant, but if you succeed you may have a marketable
product. Research is the first step; find out the techniques used in
microbiological laboratories for culturing and preserving the organisms
you need, then see if they all have a common preservation medium.

HI All,
We have been doing our systems start (for small household scale
digesters) with the paunch waste from slaughterhouses, adding 50-100
liters of the waste along with manure and water as an initial charge.
Transporting this waste (wet, heavy, and a bit nasty) is a bit of a
pain. My technicians keeping hinting at better incolculant solutions,
and I would like to see if there is anyone out there making really
effective inoculates (or knows how to make them) that are dry, simple to
apply, but really effective in starting a digester. Efficient and fast
start-up is a really crucial aspect of technology adoptions, and using
effluent from functioning digesters or the paunch waste has produced the
best results for us as far as start-up rates. We have seen a brand of
tablets for septic tanks, but we have not found them to improve start-up
times as compared with straight manure. Thanks in advance.
Saludos,
A
