Apparatus for wastewater treatment and a plant equipped with such an apparatus

An apparatus for treating wastewater comprising:

• a treatment tank having a first edge region and a second edge region opposite the first edge region;
• a feed line configured to provide the wastewater to the treatment tank;
• a movable wastewater distributor connected to an end of the feed line and configured to distribute the wastewater in the treatment tank, wherein the wastewater distributor includes a plurality of outlet openings and is moveable within the treatment tank;
• and
• a traction mechanism configured to move the wastewater distributor in a reversing manner between the first and second opposite edge regions of the treatment tank, wherein the feed line is elastically deformable so as to allow a movement of the wastewater distributor in a direction of back and forth movement.
