<p>PCT No. PCT/NL95/00183 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 13, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 13, 1996 PCT Filed May 24, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/32923 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 7, 1995A method and apparatus for the biochemical purification of a contaminated liquid medium, in which the liquid medium is passed through granular filter material provided in a holder and in which the granular filter material (12) contained in the holder is set in motion, preferably with the aid of an injected gas such as air. Microorganisms and/or an active water for microorganisms can be added to the holder. The filter material may comprise a mixture of lava and sand, for example 28% to 38% sand and 61% to 71% lava. The granule size of the sand is 0.3 to 1.2 mm and the granule size of the lava is 2 to 10 mm. The main flow of the medium to be purified and the injected gas are oppositely directed. To set the filter material in motion, use is made of an inner tube (33) placed in an outer tube (32), gas being blown through the inner tube under the lower end of the inner tube (31) so that gas and filter material drawn in at the lower end of the tubes and medium are transported upward through the inner tube.</p> |
