Abstract
The treatment medium comprises 5 cm cubes of soft, open-cell foam. The container basket is made from plastic mesh, arranged as a cylinder, 80 cm diameter, 100 cm high. The blocks are packed semi-tightly into the basket. The dirty water to be treated is sprinkled onto the foam from above. The container supports the saturated foam blocks in the air, and air circulates freely through the mesh. The container and blocks may be compressed for transport. A separate sub-container holds the top-most blocks, for easy replacement. Cleaned water drains out underneath the baskets. The baskets stand up on their own, and there is free service-access to the baskets during operation, for service.
