An apparatus for treating waste water comprises a mixing chamber including mixing members therein for mixing waste water and treatment chemicals therein and a separating chamber at the outlet of the mixing chamber for separating the flocculated contaminants and to provide a supply of clarified water. In a preferred embodiment, the chemicals are injected at sequential locations along an injection tube for sequential mixing of the chemicals with one another in the injection tube prior to the chemicals being injected and mixed into the mixing chamber for mixing with the waste water.

1. An apparatus for treating waste water, the apparatus comprising: a mixing tube arranged for receiving the waste water therethrough from an inlet to an outlet;a plurality of injection members, each arranged for injecting a selected quantity of a selected treatment chemical for mixing with the waste water in the mixing tube for causing flocculation of contaminants in the waste water;a plurality of mixing members supported in the mixing tube and arranged for mixing the treatment chemicals into the waste water in the mixing tube;a separating chamber connected to the outlet of the mixing tube so as to be arranged for receiving the waste water and the treatment chemicals mixed therein and being arranged for separating the flocculated contaminants to supply clarified water at an outlet of the separating chamber;an injection tube including a carrier fluid received therein and being in communication with the mixing tube upstream from the mixing members;the injection members being supported at spaced positions along the injection tube in communication therewith so as to be adapted to sequentially inject the treatment chemicals into the carrier fluid in the injection tube prior to communication with the wastewater in the mixing tube; anda plurality of auxiliary mixing members supported in the injection tube and adapted to sequentially mix the treatment chemicals injected by the injection members in the carrier fluid prior to mixing with the waste water in the mixing tube. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the treatment chemicals injected into the injection tube are arranged to be continuously mixed between the injection members and the mixing tube. 3. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the treatment chemicals are arranged to be mixed at spaced apart intervals along the injection tube prior to communication with the mixing tube. 4. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the treatment chemicals are injected into the injection tube in a continuous flow in which the treatment chemicals are continuously mixed between the injection members and the mixing tube. 5. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the plurality of auxiliary mixing members in the injection tube and the mixing members in the mixing tube are arranged to be commonly driven. 6. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the injection members are arranged to inject the treatment chemicals at a peripheral wall of the injection tube. 7. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the mixing members are arranged to mix the treatment chemicals with the waste water continuously along a full length of the mixing tube between communication with the injection tube and the outlet of the mixing tube. 8. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the mixing members are arranged to mix the treatment chemicals with the waste water at spaced apart intervals along a length of the mixing tube between communication with the injection tube and the outlet of the mixing tube.
