Referring to FIG. 1, the fluid purification apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a purification unit 110 and an air supply unit 130.

The purifying unit 110 includes a purifying space 105 for purifying a fluid. For example, the purification unit 110 extends perpendicularly to one side of the septic tank 101 storing the flowing fluid and the inside of the septic tank 101 and the fluid flowing into the septic tank 101 flows downward to the purification space. The partition wall 103 is guided so as to flow upward from the inside 101.

In addition, the partition 103 may be spaced apart from the bottom of the septic tank 101 and connected to the sidewall of the septic tank 101.
