La charge de pollution déversée par un établissement industriel peut être assimilée à celles que donnerait une population, dite équivalente, utilisant la même voie d'évacuation. Une telle estimation est fondée sur la connaissance de la demande biochimique d'oxygène de l'effluent industriel D.B.O. 5 (i), d'une part, et de son débit Q, d'autre part. Le nombre équivalent d'habitants correspond à la formule : D.B.O.5 (i)/Q XD.B.O.5(h), où D.B.O. 5(h) est la quantité indiquant la [...] [DBO] correspondant aux eaux usées pour un habitant. 1, record 1, French, - population%20%C3%A9quivalente
