The dehydration roller 330 rotates in an opposite direction to a rotational direction of the absorption roller 320 to dehydrate moisture absorbed by the absorption roller 320. The water obtained from the dehydration process naturally moves downward by gravity. According to the structure described above, since the moisture content of the foreign substances becomes lower than the reference value by using the absorption roller 320, the separated foreign substances can be recycled as resources of good quality.

[0037] The absorption roller 320 has a plurality of protrusions 321 formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof. The protrusion 321 has a cylindrical or protruding shape and a valley 32st2 having a predetermined curve is formed between the protrusions 321.

According to the structure described above, when a certain amount of foreign substances is accumulated in the foreign substance receiving unit 340, the foreign substance receiving unit 340 is pulled out by sliding it, and then the accumulated foreign substances can be easily discharged. Since the discharged foreign substances are in a state in which moisture has been removed, the discharged foreign substances can be recycled as resources of good quality.

[0040] According to the structure described above, the dehydration liquid flowing into the filtration tank 100 is in a state in which large solids and non-decomposable substances are removed. In this case, the multi-structure filtration device can further maximize water treatment efficiency by separating and removing dead microorganisms and large, old microorganisms in death phase from the dehydration liquid, returning only active microorganisms to the washing tank, and cultivating them.
