PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING WATER

摘要

A method of treating water containing a chlorinated organic compound, comprising the steps of passing microbes from a separation bath to a decomposition bath and supplying an energy source to the microbes separated in the decomposition bath. A water treating apparatus having an arrangement capable of passing water to be treated through baths in the order of the separation bath, the decomposition bath and a regeneration bath. It is possible to reduce losses due to the discharge of the energy source, such as methane or propane, from the separation bath. A water treating apparatus having a decomposition bath and a separation bath and capable of culturing microbes in the decomposition bath. Since no regeneration bath is needed, the entire size of the apparatus can be reduced.
