  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
OBS

High hopes were once placed in slow filters as final or polishing purification plant. However, their biological action is not effective in eliminating all micropollutants (phenols, detergents, pesticides); they can, for example, only remove about 50 % of organochlorinated pesticides. Slow filtration is therefore not a satisfactory polishing process.

  • Traitement des eaux
OBS

Certains fondaient de bons espoirs sur les filtres lents comme moyen d'affinage. Mais leur action biologique ne permet pas d'éliminer tous les micropolluants (phénols, détergents, pesticides); ainsi, le rendement d'élimination des pesticides organochlorés n'est que de 50% environ. La filtration lente est donc un procédé d'affinage notoirement insuffisant.
