A method of treating liquid includes the steps of providing a treatment unit that comprises first and second treatment tanks 1, 2 contained within a common structure, placing a flexible bag into the first treatment tank and passing liquid containing some solids into the flexible bag. Liquid in an upper region of the first treatment tank passes into the second treatment tank and flows between a multiplicity of inclined plates 22, wherein solids are separated out and are collected in a bottom region of the second treatment tank. The bag is removed from the first treatment tank with solids retained in the bottom of the bag. In another aspect, a method of treating alkaline water additionally comprises the insertion of a gas introduction device 31 into the top of the bag, after the bag has been placed in the first treatment tank, and introducing carbon dioxide into the water through the gas introduction device. Additionally, carbon dioxide is introduced into the water after it has flowed out of the first treatment tank, but before it flows between the multiplicity of inclined plates. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also provided. |
