Description

 The invention relates generally to a device and method for washing parts, and more specifically, to a device and method for washing parts using biological “treatment”.

 Washing plants are designed to clean items contaminated with organic waste. These common washing facilities traditionally use chlorinated solvents, white spirit solvents, other organic solvents, aqueous detergents, or surfactant mixtures for cleaning liquids. Although these fluids can be effective in cleaning parts, there are many drawbacks that limit their use for washing parts. In particular, chlorinated solvents, white spirit solvents, and terpene solvents are currently classified by government regulatory agencies as hazardous materials due to their low flash point and potential health hazards. Due to this classification, these solvents require use, handling and disposal in accordance with a number of official instructions. For example, the removal of mineral spirits based on white spirit can be an expensive undertaking, and it is usually achieved in special rather hazardous waste recycling plants for recycling. In addition, mineral spirits based on mineral spirits that are not properly stored can cause a fire on the workshop floor and cause dermatitis and respiratory infections in workers.

 When the fluids used in traditional washing plants are contaminated with organic waste products, filters can be used to remove debris from the cleaning fluid. However, after the filters are saturated with organic waste products, they can no longer clean the fluid, and need to be replaced. Replacing filters in traditional washing plants can be difficult due to a number of circumstances and may take quite a while. Moreover, filters, after they have absorbed organic products, often become hazardous materials and therefore need to be disposed of according to official instructions.

 Most of the traditionally used washing plants also use electronic components to control various operations. However, due to the fact that electronic components, as a rule, are integral with traditional washing installations, failure of a component usually requires the intervention of a qualified specialist to resolve the problem. As a result of this, the user has to wait for the repair to be completed and to pay the costs associated with calling a specialist, including the time to determine the malfunction, repair and inspection of the equipment. When replacing the components of traditional washing installations, the specialist needs time to troubleshoot, remove the components and disconnect the leads to the circuits, install spare parts, followed by assembling and checking the system. However, if the components of the device cannot be installed, then the entire device needs to be replaced.

 Other devices are available for flushing certain automotive parts. For example, a special installation for washing the brakes is known in order to reduce the dispersion of asbestos and other fibers in the air by wetting the brakes with a cleaning fluid, followed by collecting and filtering the drips. However, such a device is usually bulky, expensive and is mainly used for brakes. Alternative disposable aerosol cans for cleaning the brakes can cause dangerous environmental pollution. In particular, the air inside the workshops can become contaminated after the fibers enter the atmosphere in streams of cleaning fluid.

 Therefore, in this industry, there is a need to create a device and method that would flush objects contaminated with organic matter and reduce the environmental problems associated with chlorinated solvents and white spirits used as cleaning liquids. It would be desirable to provide a device and method using a washing liquid and a biological agent instead of white spirit solvents and chlorinated solvents. It would also be advantageous to create an installation for washing parts, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to operate and efficient to use.

 In light of what is described above, the present invention relates to a device and method for washing parts contaminated with organic matter. The device provides environmental safety and reduces the problems associated with the use of cleaning fluids, such as white spirits. The invention also reduces the production of hazardous industrial wastes due to biodegradable organic matter. Easy access to device components is provided, which makes it easy to repair and replace components. In addition, the device controller is made in a modular form, which also provides easy replacement of parts.

 One embodiment of the invention relates to a closed system for cleaning automotive parts, equipment parts, and machine parts contaminated with organic matter. The system includes a cleaning fluid with a surfactant that removes organic matter from parts, as well as many living microorganisms that biologically destroy the organic matter in the fluid. The result is a composition of a cleaning fluid with a surfactant, microorganisms and organic matter, while the specified cleaning fluid with a surfactant activates and nourishes microorganisms that biologically destroy and remove organic matter from the filter bag into a container. The tank has a thermostatic heating element attached to it to heat the cleaning fluid, while the specified tank contains a cleaning fluid with a surfactant, microorganisms and organic matter and adaptive connecting elements to create a recirculation biological destruction system with the reforming of the cleaning fluid with surface -active substance without contamination with organic matter and nutrition of biologically destructive microorganisms in a separate area, p We use the specified cleaning fluid with a surfactant and the microorganisms used for recycling to further clean the parts.

 Microorganisms are selected from the group consisting of the genus Bacillus, Micrococcus, Acinetobacter, Rhizopum, Arthrobacter, Alcaligenes, Aeromonas, Beirjerinckie, Mucor, Aspergillus, Geotrichum Rhodococcus, Nocardia grapefruit, Whitefruit and Whitefruit.

 Microorganisms are attached to a filter bag having a solid support.

 Another embodiment of the invention relates to an apparatus for cleaning parts contaminated with organic and particulate matter. The installation includes a first mechanical component and a second mechanical component. The first mechanical component is used to clean parts through the interaction of parts with a liquid with a surfactant, while the second mechanical component is used to biologically destroy the organic substance removed from the parts in the liquid, which provides nutrition and activation of biologically destructive microorganisms. The first mechanical component communicates with the second mechanical component so that the fluid is recycled between the first and second mechanical components. In a preferred embodiment, the second mechanical component is a collection tank, which may contain many living microorganisms for the biological destruction of organic matter.

 In one embodiment of the invention, the installation includes a first chamber for washing parts with a washing liquid and a second chamber for biological destruction of organic matter. The circulation mechanism circulates the washing liquid between the first and second chambers of the substance with the formation of circulation in a closed cycle. The installation contains a porous medium for trapping particulate matter, which includes a filter.

 The second mechanical component is controlled from the point of view of environmental conditions to create the optimal regime for nutrition and activation of biologically destructive microorganisms. The controller, which is available in the device, is in communication with the circulation mechanism. The controller is modular and contains a housing with an upper part and a lower part; a sensor connected to the upper part of the housing; a heating element connected to the lower part of the housing; and a liquid level detector connected to said bottom.

 The installation has a heating element for heating the washing liquid to the desired temperature.

 The first component contains a sensor for determining the level of flushing fluid in this component. The installation also contains a sensor for monitoring the liquid level in the second component. The circulation mechanism of the installation is activated when a movement of the washing liquid is detected, and there is a switching device for actuating the circulation mechanism. The installation may include a second circulation mechanism for circulating the flushing fluid in the first component.

 A third component may be provided in the installation for receiving parts to be flushed, while the third component is capable of being located within the first component.

 Another embodiment of the invention relates to a portable stand-alone installation for washing parts. The installation includes a housing with an upper part and a lower part. The first chamber containing a drain hole is formed in the upper part of the housing and is used to clean parts due to their interaction with the flushing fluid. The second chamber is formed in the lower part of the housing and is used for biological destruction of the organic matter located in the washing liquid, which provides nutrition and activation of biologically destructive microorganisms, while the second chamber communicates with the first chamber.

 A circulation mechanism circulates the flushing fluid between the first and second chambers.

 The portable stand-alone installation has a modular controller connected by electrical communication with a circulation mechanism.

 In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, a method for washing parts. This method consists in placing the product in the first chamber, circulating the washing liquid from the second chamber in the first chamber for washing the surfaces of the product in contact with the liquid, passing the washing liquid through a porous medium, which allows the particle to be drawn out of the washing liquid and, in addition, acting in as a carrier providing contact of microorganisms with the washing liquid, draining the washing liquid into the second chamber, removing organic matter Islands in the washing liquid, wherein the step of removing the organic matter from the liquid comprises a biological degradation of organic matter, and recycle the washing liquid from the second chamber into the first chamber. Preferably, the organic substance is biodegradable. The method includes the stage of monitoring the state of the fluid from the point of view of environmental conditions to create the optimal mode for nutrition and activation of biologically destructive microorganisms.

 In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, a set of washing plants is proposed, with the help of which metal and plastic parts are cleaned of organic matter. The kit includes a container with a liquid with surfactants, which is suitable for cleaning parts, and a filter bag having a solid carrier in order to hold microorganisms that biologically destroy organic matter. Special adaptive connecting elements create a recirculating system of biological destruction, while the cleaning liquid cleans the parts and in a separate place feeds biologically destructive organisms.

 In the description, a modular controller is presented in detail, which, as mentioned earlier, includes a housing with an upper part and a lower part. The sensor is connected to the upper part of the housing, while the heating element is connected to the lower part. At least one fluid level detector communicates with the controller, and the latter is driven by an electrical power source.

 These and other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after reading and understanding the following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the invention together with the accompanying drawings.

Detailed Description of Preferred Options
A preferred embodiment of the invention is shown with reference to the drawings and, more specifically, to FIG. 1. A washer 10 is shown for washing parts, including automotive, industrial and military parts, such as nuts, bolts, valves, pistons, carburetors, transmission parts, and the like, which are contaminated with organic and particulate matter. The washing machine 10 is preferably made of plastic. In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the washer 10 is made of low pressure polyethylene (high density). One of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the washer 10 can also be made of various materials, including other plastics (for example, polyvinyl chloride or polypropylene), as well as stainless steel, fiberglass, and so on, within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

 In a preferred embodiment, the washer 10 typically comprises a first chamber 20, such as a sink or bowl, and a second chamber 80, such as a tub or box. The first chamber 20 includes side walls 32 that extend down to a bottom panel 22 having an opening 24 for draining the flushing fluid 82, as shown in FIG. 2. The side walls 32 and the lower panel 22 of the first chamber 20 define a cavity 26 for washing parts. The upper side 28 and lower side 30 preferably surround the cavity 26, and overflow vents 34 are formed in the side walls 32 between the upper side 28 and the lower side 30, as shown in FIG. 4.

 In FIG. 3 and 4, it is shown that the auxiliary bottom member 36, the porous medium 38 and the support grid 40 are preferably located within the first chamber 20. The support grid 40 is preferably rectangular in shape and is located on the bottom panel 22 of the first chamber 20. The support grid 40 is used to support the porous Wednesday 38.

 A porous medium, such as a filter, rests on the lower side 30 and the support grid 40. The porous medium 38 may function to mechanically draw the particulate matter from the washing liquid 82 and act as a carrier so as to bring the microorganism into contact with the washing liquid 82, as will be described below. Preferably, the porous medium 38 has fixed dimensions between about 10 and 25 microns and does not have an affinity for hydrocarbons, such as polyester. One of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the porous medium 38 can be made from a variety of materials, such as cotton, cellulose, polyolefin fibers, polyester fibers, fiberglass, or the like, within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

 The auxiliary lower element 36 is preferably located above the porous medium 38 on the upper board 28 so that the auxiliary lower element 36 separates the cavity 26. The auxiliary lower element 36 is able to support a number of parts to be cleaned. The auxiliary lower element 36 provides easy access to the porous medium 38 by allowing the user to simply lift the auxiliary lower element 36 above the cavity 26, which makes it possible to “expose” the porous medium 38. In addition, the auxiliary lower element 36 is in contact with the side walls 32 the first chamber 20. Auxiliary lower element 36 includes a drain hole 42, which may be closed or contain a tensioner (not shown).

 In a preferred embodiment, the first chamber 20 has an outer flange 44 that extends around its periphery, and a rear flap 46 that extends upward from the rear of the outer flange 44. The first chamber 20 also includes a flexible tube 48 that extends from the rear of the outer bead 44 and ends in the shape of a nozzle 50. As one skilled in the art will recognize, the size and shape of the first chamber 20 may vary within the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, the side walls 32, the lower panel 22, the upper side 28, the lower side 30, the outer side 44 and the rear flap 46 can be made in the form of a single molded part.

 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a signaling device may be used to indicate when the first chamber 20 is full of flushing liquid 82. Preferably, the temperature sensor 81 can be used to detect heat emanating from the flushing liquid when its level rises to a certain point in the first chamber 20. A person skilled in the art will understand that others can be used to determine when the first chamber 20 is full with flushing fluid 82. troystva. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the rocker arm 140 containing the spoon-shaped end can be mounted on a hinge or axis 144. The rocker arm 140 is located below the overflow hole 146 of the first chamber 20 and contacts the switch 142. The spoon-shaped end has a small hole in the lower part so that the collected liquid drips out way down. However, when the liquid fills the spoon-shaped end faster than the liquid can leak through a small hole, the beam 140 rotates on the axis due to the mass of the fluid and drives the switch 142, which in turn activates a light alarm or buzzer.

 In FIG. 2 shows that the second chamber 80 of the washing installation 10 comprises an upper end 84 and a lower end 86. The second chamber 80 includes side walls 88 and a bottom 90, which together define a cavity 92 between them. The second chamber 80 may also comprise handles (not shown) at each end for lifting the washing system 10. The second chamber 80 may be made of polyolefin plastic, preferably polyethylene.

 As shown in FIG. 3, the first compartment 20 can be mounted or secured to the upper end 84 of the second chamber 80. The average person skilled in the art will understand that the installation of the first chamber 20 with the second chamber 80, as well as the size and shape of the chambers can be changed within the essence and scope of the proposed inventions. For example, the second chamber 80 can remain stationary, while the first chamber 20 can be moved to the desired working area, as shown in FIG. 1 and 3. In addition, the washing unit 10 can be used with condensed water from the second chamber 80 as a source of clean distilled washing water to rinse the parts in the first chamber 20.

 In FIG. 3 and 4, the washing installation 10 includes a modular controller 100, which is preferably mounted or secured to the second chamber 80 with two clamps 118. The modular controller 100 has an upper part 102 and a lower part 104. The modular controller 100 preferably passes through an opening 106 into the second chamber 80 and fits snugly to the second chamber 80 using a disk feeder 108. The average person skilled in the art will understand that the modular controller 100 can be modified within the essence and scope of the proposed image eteniya. For example, the modular controller can be located completely outside the second chamber 80. Thus, if the modular controller 100 is located outside the tank, the heating element can transfer heat through the side surface or the bottom of the second chamber 80, and the temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the flushing liquid 82 through the walls or the bottom of the second chamber 80. With this configuration, the heating element may be a flat cushion, and the liquid level sensor can determine the mass of the flushing liquid 82 by measuring rhenium fluid forces on the tank bottom.

 The module controller 100 also includes a heating element 110, a thermostat 111, and a high limit protection thermostat 112 (see FIG. 6), which are connected to the bottom 104 of the module controller 100. A liquid level sensor 116, such as a float switch having a float equipped with a switch and the over temperature protection thermostat 114 can also be attached to the bottom 104 of the modular controller 100 in order to control the level of flushing fluid 82 and limit the temperature of the casing of the heating element 110.

The thermostat 111 cycles the power to the heating element 110 to heat the flushing fluid 82 to a desired temperature. The wash liquid 82 preferably maintains a temperature range that maintains the environment for the microorganisms used within the washing system 10. Preferably, the wash liquid is heated to a temperature of from about 105 to 115 ^° F (40.56 to 46.31 ^° C). When the thermostat 111 determines that the temperature of the flushing fluid 82 in the second chamber 80 is lower than the desired temperature, the heating element 110 is turned on, and when the thermostat 111 determines that the temperature of the flushing fluid 82 in the second chamber 80 is equal to or higher than the desired temperature, the heating element 110 is turned off.

The high limit protection thermostat 112 turns off the heating element 110 if the thermostat 111 is not turned on and the fluid temperature reaches a value of about 135 ^° F (about 57.22 ^° C). The over temperature protection thermostat 114 cuts off the power supplied to the heating element 110 if the sheath temperature of the heating element 110 reaches 170 ^° F Fahrenheit (76.67 ^° C). The heating element 110 is also controlled by a level switch 117 of the liquid level sensor 116. When the level switch 117 detects a low level of flushing fluid 82, the level switch 117 disables the heating element 110 and drives an audible alarm.

 In FIG. 6, the audible alarm device 150 is electrically connected to a high limit protection thermostat 112, an over temperature protection thermostat 114, and a level switch 117 so as to energize the audible alarm if any of these elements are in the open state, and the thermostat 111 is in closed. During normal operation, the audible warning device 150 also indicates that more flushing fluid 82 is needed. The continued operation of the audible warning device 150 after restoring the required fluid level indicates a malfunction of thermostats or system elements and may lead to the replacement of the modular controller 100.

 In a preferred embodiment, the modular controller 100 is electrically connected to a circulation mechanism 124, such as a pump or column type air pump. The circulation mechanism 124 is inserted in the receiving container 126 of the modular controller 100 and is located in the second chamber 80. The circulation mechanism 124 also includes a pipe 129 for pumping liquid, such as a pipe or conduit, which passes into the first chamber 20. The circulation mechanism 124 is preferably actuated, when fluid movement is detected in the first chamber 20, or when a brush 123 is used. In order to determine the motion of the fluid in the first chamber 20, the first chamber 20 and the second chamber 80 have an opening on one of its sides, which allows the motion detection device 128 to detect fluid movement. This motion detection device 128 is integral with a clock switch (not shown). For example, the circulation mechanism 124 will automatically shut off after the motion detection device 128 has not detected any activity in the first chamber 20 for about 4 minutes.

 The circulation mechanism 124 can also be manually activated using a switch 130, such as an electric switch or a pneumatic switch, in order to ensure the continuous operation of the circulation mechanism 124, taking into account the stable flow of flushing fluid 82, in order to direct the fluid to the sump or in case of malfunctioning sensors . The average person skilled in the art will understand that the switch can take many forms and represent, for example, a foot switch, within the essence and scope of the invention. In the event of a malfunction of the motion detection sensor 128 and the modular controller switch 130, the circulation mechanism 124 can be included directly in the receiving container, such as the wall tank, before the modular controller 100 is repaired or replaced. Thus, the user is able to flush parts during an emergency. One skilled in the art will appreciate that the washing installation 10 may comprise a plurality of circulation mechanisms within the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, the circulation mechanism can be used in combination with the first chamber 20 to circulate the flushing fluid 82 only in the first chamber 20. In addition, the flow rate of flushing fluid 82 in the first chamber 20 may differ from the flow rate of flushing fluid 82 on the way from the first chamber to the second.

 As shown in FIG. 5, the installation may be provided with a pre-treatment chamber 60 in the form of a tank. The pre-treatment chamber 60 can be used individually in the form of a socking tank or in combination with a washing unit 10. The pre-treatment chamber 60 is preferably molded from a polyolefin plastic, such as polyethylene. A flexible tube 62 made of rubber or plastic is preferably attached through the side 61 of the chamber 60. The tube 62 can be held in place by a clip or latch 44 to prevent the flushing fluid 82 from being drained into the washing unit 10 or the waste tank. The pre-treatment chamber 60 also comprises a pillow of porous medium 66, which preferably interacts with a thermoplastic film bag 68, which may have an elastic band 70 around the perimeter. An elastic bandage 70 is inserted into the groove 72 located in the pre-treatment chamber 60. The base 68 of the porous medium is placed under the pillow of the porous medium 66 to form a reservoir for washing liquid 82. The pillow of the porous medium 66 filters harmful fibrous formations, such as asbestos, from the washing liquid 82 when using it for cleaning automobile brakes. Since the flushing liquid 82 in the pre-treatment chamber 60 can be retained until the final removal of organic matter, the pre-treatment chamber 60 allows you to remove production waste in areas controlled by people, or in a washing unit 10.

The second chamber 80 of the washing installation 10 is preferably filled with washing liquid 82 to separate the organic matter from the objects. Wash fluid 82 is not toxic to microorganisms. Wash liquid 82 is used to separate organic and particulate waste from parts washed in the first chamber 20. Preferably, the wash liquid 82 is a free-flowing aqueous solution having a specific gravity of 1.083, a slightly pleasant odor without a flash point, with a boiling point of 210 ^o F (98.89 ^o C), pH approximately 7, which is infinitely soluble in water. Wash liquid 82 is preferably a mixture of pH-neutral emulsifiers and surfactants that do not contain any volatile organic compounds, phosphates, formaldehyde, biocides or other toxic materials. The emulsifier and surfactants are mixed in liquid form to obtain a cleaner and degreasing agent, which are biodegradable, non-toxic, non-flammable, non-flammable, able to disperse oil. Suitable flushing fluid is supplied by Advanced Bioremediation Systems with the trademark Surfzyme ^™ (Solution No. 5 in Table 1) or the trademark Safeworld Products SW-2.

 In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the biological component is added to the washing liquid 82 to decompose the organic waste in the washing liquid 82. The biological component is preferably in the form of microorganisms that biodegrade the organic compounds, such as hydrocarbons, oils, greases, oil by-products, creolates and other carbon based compositions. Microorganisms usually convert hydrocarbon compounds and chlorinated solvents into elements of water, carbon dioxide and other products of digestion. Microorganisms are preferably non-pathogenic and may include those of the genera Bacillus, Micrococcus, Acinetobacter, Rhodococcus, Nocardia, Pseudomonas, Flavobacterium, Saccharomyces, Candida and White Rot Fungus (white rot of grapes). However, those microorganisms that can destroy other carbon-based compositions, i.e. long-chain polymer compounds found in structural plastics, such as polyolefins, styrenes, neoprene and so on, are unsuitable if the physical structure of the washer or parts to be washed, destroyed by the action of microorganisms. Suitable microorganisms are supplied by ABS Inc., located in Duluth, Georgia, under the number PWM-25, or by Louisiana Remediation under the name LRC-1.

 As shown in the table. 1-3, various combinations of microorganisms capable of dissolving a grease are provided. Individual formulations can be developed using at least one genus from each activity group, including chlorinated organic compounds, depending on the requirements for such activity. A person skilled in the art will understand that there are other suitable microorganisms that are well known and can be used within the scope and spirit of the invention.

 Although the microbes disclosed herein are combined with each other, there is no guarantee of their compatibility. Even species within the same genus may and may not be compatible. There are no hard and fast rules regarding combinations, and most academic work has been carried out in pure culture. Therefore, there are no guidelines in this regard. It is well known that most microbial producers use up to 5 genera and 15 different species only in relation to the decomposition of hydrocarbons. The actual role of each species remains almost uncertain after 20 years of such business activity.

 Microorganisms are preferably added directly to the washing liquid 82 of the washing unit 10 at rest. As the average person skilled in the art will understand, microorganisms can be added to the washing unit 10 using a number of techniques within the essence and scope of the invention. For example, microorganisms can be attached to a porous medium using an attachment enhancing agent, such as 3M Super 77 adhesive, or an encapsulation enhancing agent 84 that is water soluble, followed by the release of said microorganisms when the wash liquid 82 is introduced into the porous medium.

 Microorganisms can be subjected to a preservation technique in an attempt to guarantee their livelihoods in the field and their resistance to environmental conditions. For example, nutritional and buffering components, such as agar, and water-soluble adhesives, such as gum, are preferably mixed with microorganisms in order to stimulate the resistance of microorganisms before mixing the microorganisms with the carrier. The carrier preferably consists of inert and nutritious organic substances that preserve and protect microorganisms during storage and transportation. The person skilled in the art will understand that microorganisms can be used in combination with nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria, phosphate-solubilizing strains of microorganisms, bioemulsifier-producing strains of microorganisms and strains of microorganisms that produce growth factors, such as vitamins B, within the essence and scope of the invention .

 Essential macronutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, can also be combined with a microbial composition or mixed with a surfactant to increase the biological degradation of oils and greases. Similarly, micronutrients can be limited in certain cases when replenishment is required. The figures regarding the need for micronutrients for effective biological oxidation and the beneficial effect of the addition of nutrients depending on the increased percentage of satisfaction of the biochemical oxygen demand are given in table. 2 and 3.

 When using the washer 10, the operator places the item in the first chamber 20. When movement is detected in the first chamber 20, the circulating mechanism 124 circulates the flushing fluid 82 from the second chamber 80 through a pipe 48 and a nozzle 50 or spray nozzles under increased pressure in the first flushing chamber 20 surfaces of an object in contact with the washing liquid 82. The washing liquid 82 is used to separate organic waste from an object in the washing process. The flushing liquid 82, together with organic waste and any small particles washed from the object, flows under the influence of gravity through the drain hole 42 of the auxiliary lower element 36. A tensioner (not shown) will, of course, keep certain objects from passing through the drain hole 42. After that, the washing liquid 82, organic waste and the remaining substance pass into the cavity or hole containing the porous medium 38.

 The porous medium 38 traps the particulate matter and allows the passage of organic impurities and wash liquid 82. Since the porous medium 38 does not collect organic impurities, the latter can be removed as solid waste. If the porous medium 38 contains microorganisms, the flushing liquid 82 carries them away. The entrained microorganisms then pass together with the washing liquid 82 and organic impurities through the support grid 40 into the second chamber 80. If the washing liquid 82 is difficult to pass through in the first chamber 20, the washing liquid 82 can pass through a pair of additional drainage holes 34 made on the rear side of the second chamber 80, as shown in FIG. 4.

 In the second chamber 80, a high percentage of microorganisms and organic impurities tends to accumulate near the surface of the washing liquid 82 so that a large proportion of biological degradation occurs near the surface of the washing liquid 82. This results in the formation of a vapor barrier that seeks to minimize the evaporation of the washing liquid 82. Steam can be condensed, collected and used in a closed-cycle system for flushing. If organic waste accumulates in an increasing volume in the direction of the surface of the washing liquid 82 in the second chamber 80, it may be necessary to replenish the microorganisms. Since the porous medium 38 removes the particulate matter and the microorganisms digest the organic waste, the second chamber 80 usually does not need to be drained. Finally, the flushing liquid 82 recirculates to the first chamber 20. The person skilled in the art will understand that the temperature, pressure or flow rate of flushing liquid 82 in the first chamber 20 may be higher or lower than in the second chamber 80 within the scope and essence of the proposed inventions. In addition, the temperature, pressure or flow rate of flushing fluid 82 in the first chamber 20 may not be optimal for the implementation of biological "treatment".

 Although the present invention has been described in detail by way of illustration and example, various changes and modifications can be made within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.
