摘要

A water treatment apparatus for treating water is provided. The water treatment apparatus comprises a sediment settling system having a first water inlet arranged to receive the water comprising sediment, a water outlet arranged to outlet the water, and an aeration member positioned beneath the water outlet, the aeration member being arranged to provide a bubble curtain across the water outlet; and a flocculation system having a second water inlet arranged to receive water from the water outlet of the sediment settling system, an effluent outlet arranged to outlet an effluent liquid, a flocculating agent dosing member arranged to dose the water with a flocculating agent, and a flocculating agent dispersing member positioned downstream of the flocculating agent dosing member, the flocculating agent dispersing member being arranged to disperse the flocculating agent within the water. The present invention aims to provide a low cost, modular water treatment solution which is easy to maintain and which may be transportable.
