The primary objective of a CDF [confined disposal facility] design is to retain as high a percentage of the sediment particles as practical. CDFs basically function as settling basins with solids retention efficiencies greater than 99.9% Excess water is discharged outside the CDF through permeable dikes surrounding it, either over adjustable weirs or through filter cells.

L'objectif premier de la conception d'un CDF [site de mise en dépôt contrôlé] est de retenir le plus grand pourcentage possible de solides. Les CDF sont donc essentiellement des bassins de sédimentation dont l'efficacité de rétention des solides est supérieure à 99,9 p. 100. Le surplus d'eau est évacué à l'extérieur du CDF soit à travers les digues perméables qui le ceinturent, soit par le biais de seuils ou de déversoirs ou encore par l'intermédiaire de cellules filtrantes.

Where high throughout rates must be handled, the limited diameter of the equipment does mean that a rather large number of filters must be employed, which increases the total washing time required for each filtration unit.

Pour les grands débits, [...] cette disposition conduit à l'emploi d'un nombre de filtres assez élevé, ce qui accroît le temps de lavage total de chaque cellule filtrante.
