The BIOLIFTTM process uses the technique of fixed bacteria on a fluidized bed. The purifying biomass is caught on grains of sand which are maintained in fluidization by an upward air flow. The reactor is situated downstream of an activated sludge tank and ensures nitrification of the effluent. At its outlet a recirculation loop channels some of the mixed liquor back to the activated sludge tank-head where the nitrates are broken down into gaseous nitrogen(denitrification). The remaining mixed liquor is channelled towards the clarification stage where the purified water is separated from the sludge. 2, record 1, English, - fixed%20bacterium

[...] OTV met en œuvre des réacteurs biologiques à bactéries fixées dans un grand nombre de ses stations d'épuration. Après BIOCARBONE et BIOSTYR, un réacteur biologique «nouvelle génération» appelé BIOLIFT, vient d'être mis au point pour la nitrification des eaux usées. BIOLIFT utilise la technique des bactéries fixées sur un lit fluidisé. Les bactéries nitrifiantes sont fixées sur un matériau particulaire dense, tel que du sable. La circulation de l'eau, générée par une colonne d'air lift, maintient le matériau en suspension. 3, record 1, French, - bact%C3%A9rie%20fix%C3%A9e

Following boiling, the spent hops and coagulated protein "trub" are removed by straining through "hop jack". In breweries that use pelleted hops instead of hop flakes the hop jack is by-passed. The hot wort is allowed to settle in a hot wort tank to remove the remaining trub. The hot wort is then cooled to about 10 degrees C by passage through a plate cooler. 2, record 3, English, - coagulated%20protein

Après la cuisson, on enlève la drêche de houblon et les protéines coagulées (cassure) en filtrant le moût dans un panier à houblon. Dans les brasseries qui se servent de granulés de houblon plutôt que de flocons de houblon, le passage dans le panier à houblon n'est pas nécessaire. On pompe le moût chaud dans un réservoir où se produit le dépôt du reste de la cassure. Puis, on refroidit le moût vers 10 degrés C environ en le faisant passer dans un réfrigérant à plateaux. 2, record 3, French, - prot%C3%A9ine%20coagul%C3%A9e
