ABSTRACT:
The disclosed invention relates to an apparatus for removing pollutants from various types of wastewater, using biologically active organisms and without using chemicals and without producing large quantities of sludge containing pollutants. The apparatus comprises at least three light-transmitting tanks containing polluted water. The first tank contains photosynthetic bacteria; the second tank contains nonaquatic plants and a support for maintaining the plants at the surface of the water; and the third tank contains fish.
