Method for treating sewage and sewage treatment system in combined sewer systems

摘要

The present invention has an object of providing a sewage treatment method and a sewage treatment system in a combined sewer system which can safely treat sewage, and in a combined sewer system where wastewater and rainwater collected flow together as the sewage in a single pipe, the sewage is electrochemically treated, i.e., electrolytically treated by use of electrodes for electrolysis to produce hypohalogenous acid, ozone or activated oxygen in the sewage. The thus produced hypohalogenous acid, ozone or activated oxygen can treat contaminants such as organic substances and coliforms present in the sewage.
