Abstract

Transportable liquid waste treatment apparatus is adapted for movement from place to place and for temporary or permanent connection to a sewage system, or the like, for the treatment of sewage and other liquid waste. The basis apparatus has transportable means for converting and separating solids from the liquid waste and for irradiating the remaining fluid with a gamma radiation source prior to discharging the irradiated effluent.

Claims

3. The apparatus in accordance with claim 2, including filter means connected between said separation means and said irradiator means and adapted to filter the effluent leaving said separation means.

4. The apparatus according to claim 3, in which said filter means has backwashing means adapted to connect a waterline thereto for backwashing the filter elements.

5. The apparatus according to claim 4, including pump means located in said input means for pumping said liquid waste to said treatment plant.

6. The waste treatment plant in accordance with claim 5 in which said plant is located in railroad cars for transportation over railroad tracks.

7. The apparatus in accordance with claim 5, in which said output means is connected to an irrigation system.
