Processes and devices for disinfecting and recycling an aqueous effluent

摘要

Disinfection of water draining effluent produced during growth of plants by hydrophonic techniques in pots, is disinfected using the a device and the following process. The effluent is acidic, having a pH of 3-5 and the treatment removes pathogenic organisms, allowing the liquid to be reused on plants and supplies them with nutrients. Water draining from the plants (2) is collected (15) and fed (19) through filter mass of glass wool (18) where disinfection occurs, after which it can be reused.
