The result is a rising curtain of bubbles which produces an upswelling on the water surface above the tubing. The upswelling produces a raised surface behind which the oil can be trapped. ...

Barrage à bulles d'air. [...] Le principe du procédé comprend une canalisation, équipée de gicleurs, immergée sur les fonds. En lui envoyant de l'air comprimé en quantité et en pression suffisantes, il se produit, un bourrelet continu dont le volume correspond à celui des bulles d'air ascendantes qui se dégagent à chaque gicleur. L'eau qui s'écoule de part et d'autre de ce bourrelet, a une vitesse proportionnelle à sa hauteur. Le courant ainsi produit est utilisé pour s'opposer à l'expansion d'une nappe d'hydrocarbures. 1, record 1, French, - barrage%20%C3%A0%20bulles%20d%27air
