Abstract
A process for purifying water, wherein the water, which is polluted by a mixture of halogenated compounds, preferably halogenated hydrocarbons, is passed through at least two reactors (treatment stages) packed with a porous material populated by one or more microorganisms, one of the reactors being operated under anaerobic conditions and being followed by an aerobically operated reactor; in this way, almost complete elimination of the halogenated compounds, preferably halogenated hydrocarbons, is achieved.
