Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021160644A1] Method and apparatus for biologically treating wastewater using a bioreactor (4) comprising a bed (12) of chemically inert aggregate in which emerged macrophytes (13) are rooted, characterised in that it comprises: - a preliminary dilution step consisting in diluting the water to be treated according to a dilution ratio between 8 and 50 and preferably between 10 and 20, - organising the supply to the bio-reactor (4) with, and the emptying of the bio-reactor of, water thus diluted according to tidal cycles lasting less than two hours, preferably less than one hour, during each of which at least one portion of the bed (12) of chemically inert aggregate is dewatered and then submerged by the water so as to provide, in the bed (12) of chemically inert aggregate, successive periods of aeration and non-aeration, - a step of evacuating the treated water, the preliminary dilution step consisting in diluting the water to be treated with water originating at least partially from the method.
