CONT

When flow-rates are relatively low, suspended solids may be trapped by mechanical filters maintained under pressure by pumping. Degrémont and a number of other manufacturers offer a wide range of plant; examples are: cyclone filters with a tangential inlet at the top, a stainless steel cylindrical filter strainer with mesh orifices from several tenths of a millimetre to several millimetres, and manual or automatic washing and solids extraction using raw or filtered water.

OBS

Le tamisage peut être réalisé, pour des débits moins importants, par des filtres mécaniques sous pression alimentés par pompage. Degrémont et plusieurs autres constructeurs disposent d'appareils, conçus suivant différents principes; on citera: les filtres cyclones à entrée tangentielle supérieure, avec tamis filtrant cylindrique en acier inox, à maille comprise entre quelques dizaines de mm et plusieurs mm, à nettoyage et extraction des déchets sous forme manuelle ou automatique, avec lavage à l'eau brute ou à l'eau filtrée.
