English

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

The removal of all the carbon dioxide produces what is known as unstable water, which means it is supersaturated with calcium bicarbonate and thus precipitation of calcium carbonate beyond the neutralizing filter can easily occur.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement des eaux
CONT

Le fait de débarrasser l'eau de tout le gaz carbonique produit une eau instable, c'est-à-dire sursaturée de bicarbonate de calcium, ce qui fait que la précipitation de carbonate de calcium peut facilement se poursuivre en aval du filtre neutralisant.
