<p>A method and apparatus for the treatment of waste water. The method comprises a primary sedimentation stage, an activation stage comprising high, medium and then low loading rate oxidation stages, a filtering stage and a clarification stage. All of these stages are performed in a single flat-bottomed parallelepipedal basin. The water treatment apparatus comprises a sludge recirculator (23, 24), an aerator (22, 25), a skirt (26), a filter (29) and a horizontal laminar flow clarifier (27). The clarifier is made up of a succession of inclined baffles (27a) joined together in pairs at their upper and lower edges. Sludge aspirator pipes (28) are provided adjacent the bottoms of the inclined baffles.</p> |
