Le temps de séjour réel de la boue (ou son âge) est la base essentielle de dimensionnement. Plus le temps de séjour est élevé, plus le pourcentage de réduction des matières volatiles l'est aussi [...] on adopte le plus souvent dans les climats tempérés un temps de stabilisation de 10 jours. [...] On notera bien que l'influence de la température n'est pas négligeable [...] 1, record 2, French, - temps%20de%20s%C3%A9jour%20de%20la%20boue
