English

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
  • Wastewater Treatment
CONT

A few centimetres of coarse gravel, no deeper than the head of the nozzles, still further improves the flow of the filtrate and wash-water at floor level between the nozzles; there is therefore no possibility of a stagnant zone where sand, impurities or plankton might accumulate.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)
  • Traitement des eaux
  • Traitement des eaux usées
CONT

Seuls quelques centimètres de gros graviers, sur une hauteur égale à la tête des buselures, améliorent encore l'écoulement de l'eau filtrée et de l'eau de lavage au niveau du plancher entre les buselures; ainsi, il n'existe aucune possibilité de zone morte où pourrait s'agglomérer le sable avec des impuretés ou du plancton.
