First Claim
1. A process for the biological purification of waste water by the active sludge method, wherein the waste water is contacted with microorganisms in two treatment zones by being alternately introduced into said zones and being treated under alternating anoxic and aerobic conditions, wherein the waste water thus treated is introduced into a clarification zone to separate sludge, at least a part of the separated sludge being recycled and mixed with non-treated waste water, and wherein the waste water following the alternating anoxic and aerobic treatments in the two treatment zones is passed into an additional treatment zone wherein it is solely subjected to an aerobic treatment before it is introduced into the clarification zone.
