Record 2 1981-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Wastewater Treatment

Light floating solids collect on the surface of the primary settling tanks; because upward flow rates are low, any hydrocarbons which may have escaped the preliminary treatment collect there preferentially.

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Traitement des eaux usées
CONT

A la surface des décanteurs primaires se rassemblent les matières flottantes légères; par suite des faibles vitesses ascensionnelles, les hydrocarbures qui auraient traversé le prétraitement s'y rassemblent préférentiellement.
