L'écumeur crée la plus grande surface de contact possible entre l'eau de l'aquarium et l'air par la production de milliers de petites bulles dans un petit volume, les surfactants (ou composés tensio-actifs) sont attirés vers ces bulles qui remontent à la surface. Le nombre important de bulles, ainsi que la concentration en composés organiques, finit par former une mousse (écume) d'une teinte pouvant varier du brun vers le jaune. Cette écume est poussée continuellement vers le haut de la colonne d'écumage et finit par déborder dans le collecteur où les bulles éclatent et libèrent le liquide chargé de polluants qu'elles avaient entraînés. 4, record 2, French, - %C3%A9cumeur%20de%20prot%C3%A9ine

RAGA January 1981, 61. Track Circuit Conductor Retainer Clip : Bootleg and crossbonds often become damaged due to the track circuit conductor becoming dislodged from the rail and moving into the path of passing trains. To prevent this, a retaining clip has been developed which holds the track circuit conductor against the contour of the rail. Called a track circuit retainer, the clip will fit most sizes of rail and will accommodate either 4-76 mm bare or insulated strand, or 7-94 mm bare bond strand. It can be used with welded and plug bonds attached to the rail heads or webs. The clip comprises two strips of metal joined by two semi-circular holders through which the conductor passes. The clip is located under the rail and bent round to the opposite side, so that there is a holder above and below the rail bottom, so keeping the conductor in place. 1, record 5, English, - track%20circuit%20retainer
