System for treating bio-contaminated wastewater and process for decontaminating a wastewater source

A process for decontaminating a wastewater source, comprising the steps of:

• screen filtering the wastewater source producing a filtered wastewater flow;
• directing the filtered wastewater flow into a decontamination unit, wherein the decontamination unit has a rotating shaft extending from a first end of an elongated vessel to the second end thereof, and a plurality of alternately spaced rotating trays and fixed baffles disposed vertically in the elongated vessel between the first end and the second end, the rotating shaft passing through the fixed baffles and fixedly attached to the rotating trays;
• processing the filtered wastewater flow through the decontamination unit, wherein the decontamination unit separates the filtered wastewater flow into a contaminant flow and a decontaminated vapor flow;
• directing the contaminant flow to a contaminant storage vessel for further processing;
• directing the decontaminated vapor flow to a vapor outlet for further processing;
• and
• generating electricity using an electrical generator fixedly attached to a portion of the rotating shaft that protrudes from the elongated vessel.
