In order to improve the cleaning effect, the condensate water from the exhaust air cleaning unit is supplied to a high performance bioreactor, in which it is brought into contact with atmospheric oxygen and is agitated. The suspension leaving from the bioreactor is caused to flow in a circuit through an ultra-filtration module for purifying the water.
