The present invention provides a sewer system having a means to quickly
disinfect rainwater-incorporated sewage and pollutant-incorporated
rainwater, that is, combined sewer overflow (CSO), separated sewer
rainwater overflow and separated sanitary sewer overflow before being
discharged to public water body without passing through a sewage
treatment plant, and a method and an apparatus for disinfecting
rainwater-incorporated sewage and pollutant-incorporated rainwater. One
embodiment of the present invention is a sewer system wherein when sewage
flows into a sewage treatment plant in an amount of not more than the
treatment capacity of the sewage treatment plant, the sewage is subjected
to predetermined treatments in the sewage treatment plant, and then
disinfection with a chlorine-based disinfectant, and thereafter
discharged to public water body, and when sewage containing rainwater in
an amount of more than the treatment capacity of the sewage treatment
plant flows or may flow into the sewage treatment plant by a big
rainfall, the amount of the rainwater-incorporated sewage of more than
the treatment capacity is branched in sewer stormwater overflow removing
facilities of a sewer, then disinfected with a bromine-based
disinfectant, and thereafter discharged to public water body while the
rainwater-incorporated sewage in an amount within the treatment capacity
of the sewage treatment plant is subjected to predetermined treatments in
the sewage treatment plant, then disinfected with a chlorine-based
disinfectant, and thereafter discharged to public water body.
