CONT

The harmful effects caused by the presence of detergents in water are: higher phosphate content due to the combination of polyphosphates with surfactants, leading to the eutrophication of lakes and the growth of plankton in rivers; in some countries, a large proportion of polyphosphates is replaced by NTA (nitrilo-triacetic acid) ...

CONT

Les nuisances créées par la présence des détergents dans l'eau sont : l'augmentation de la teneur en phosphates provenant des polyphosphates combinés aux agents de surface, qui facilite l'eutrophisation des lacs et le développement planctonique dans les rivières; dans certains pays, une grande partie des polyphosphates est remplacée par le N.T.A.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Marine Biology
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
CONT

The first problem that arises with this type of filter, which is generally washed by water and air, is the need to ensure uniform distribution of the flow to be filtered; this is done by passing the water through orifices or nozzles not liable to become clogged by the impurities and the plankton growth in the raw water.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biologie marine
  • Traitement des eaux
CONT

Le premier problème que crée ce type de filtre, généralement lavé à l'eau et à l'air, est l'équirépartition du débit à filtrer à travers des orifices ou des buselures non susceptibles de se boucher sous l'effet des impuretés et des proliférations planctoniques de l'eau brute.
