In purification of a liquid waste, the liquid waste material is introduced into a sedimentation tank, and the relatively heavy material settles within the tank and is converted into a sludge through anaerobic activity. The supernatant foul liquid waste from the sedimentation tank is introduced into a submerged bioaeration-beds tank, and the supernatant foul liquid waste descends to successively flow between a plurality of irrigated sheets positioned in superimposed spaced relation within the bioaeration-beds tank. The liquid waste from the bottom of the bioaeration-beds tank is returned to the upper region thereof by an oxygen-containing medium, and the returned liquid waste and the supernatant foul liquid waste descend together and successively flow between the irrigated sheets, whereby the downwardly flowing foul liquid waste is purified by the activity of aerobic micro-organisms in biomembranes formed on both sides of the irrigated sheets, the purified liquid being recovered from the bioaeration-beds tank. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A process for purification of foul liquid waste material comprising introducing a mixture of human body waste materials and miscellaneous liquid waste material into a sedimentation tank, causing relatively heavy material to settle within the tank and converting said heavy material into a sludge through anaerobic activity, introducing supernatant foul liquid waste from said sedimentation tank into a submerged bioaeration-beds tank, causing said supernatant foul liquid waste to successively flow in one general horizontal direction, then to flow downwardly vertically, and then to flow in an opposite general horizontal direction in serpentine fashion, said alternate horizontal and vertical flow being effected by positioning in said bioaeration-beds tank a plurality of generally horizontally disposed and alternately foreshortened irrigated sheets in superimposed spaced array, returning foul liquid waste from the bottom of the bioaeration-beds tank to the upper region thereof by an oxygen-containing medium, causing said returned foul liquid waste and said supernatant foul liquid waste to flow together and successively flow on and between said horizontally disposed irrigated sheets, whereby the horizontally and downwardly flowing foul liquid waste is purified by the activity of aerobic micro-organisms in biomembranes formed on said generally horizontally disposed irrigated sheets, and recovering purified liquid from said bioaeration-beds tank.
2.
A process according to claim 1, wherein the foul liquid waste returned from the bottom of said bioaeration-beds tank to the upper region thereof is conveyed by compressed air.
3.
A process according to claim 1, wherein oxygen is dissolved in said foul liquid waste at least during the conveyance thereof from the bottom to the upper region of said bioaeration-beds tank.
4.
A process according to claim 1, wherein the purified liquid recovered from said bioaeration-beds tank is thereafter treated in a disinfection tank
