Apparatus for reducing organic content of brine comprising a means for subjecting a brine solution to at least two purification treatment means selected from electrochemical treatment, chlorinolysis or other chemical oxidation treatment, carbon adsorption, extraction, biological treatment and crystallizing treatment. The organic content of purified brine is sufficiently low to enable reuse of the purified brine.
