Record 2 2015-03-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Wastewater Treatment
DEF

Advanced anaerobic digester in which the cells form flocs which are kept in suspension in the lower part of the reaction tank in the form of a bed.

OBS

The system is used with a liquid feed for waste material in solution. The feed stream is introduced at the base of the fermenter so that it passes slowly up through the bed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement des eaux usées
DEF

Type de digesteur en continu dans lequel la biomasse méthanique est maintenue dans le digesteur grâce à des caractéristiques exceptionnelles de floculation et à une grande vitesse de sédimentation.

Record 3 2012-06-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pest Control Equipment
  • Mechanical Construction
CONT

When pesticides in the form of solutions or emulsions are being sprayed, the return flow from the bypass pressure regulator usually is sufficient to mix the contents of the tank.... Hydraulic agitation will, if properly used, keep wettable powders in suspension. Do not depend on the return flow from the bypass pressure regulator. Connect the agitator line to the pressure side of the pump.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériel de protection des végétaux
  • Construction mécanique
CONT

Lorsqu'on pulvérise des antiparasitaires sous forme de solutions ou d'émulsions, le reflux du régulateur de pression à dérivation suffit généralement pour effectuer le mélange dans le réservoir [...] L'agitation hydraulique, utilisée de la façon appropriée, maintient les poudres mouillables en suspension. Il ne faut pas compter sur le reflux du régulateur de pression à dérivation. Le circuit d'agitation doit être relié au circuit de refoulement de la pompe, et non pas au circuit de dérivation du régulateur de pression.

Record 4 2010-10-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Destructive and Non-destructive Tests (Mat.)
  • Inspection for Defects (Materials Engineering)
  • Magnetic Materials and Ferromagnetism
CONT

The "wet" or liquid method employs a suspension of magnetic particles in light oil, carbon tetrachloride, or similar medium... The liquid may be directed in a jet from a hose over the component or the component may simply be placed in the tank. For this purpose the ferrous particles are usually provided as a paste of black and red tinge, the black used for ordinary surfaces, the red for dark surfaces.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Contrôle destructif et non destructif (Matér.)
  • Détection des défauts des matériaux
  • Matériaux magnétiques et ferromagnétisme
CONT

Pour que la détection [des solutions de continuité] soit rapide, il faut assurer aux particules ferromagnétiques la plus grande mobilité possible. À cet effet, on les met en suspension [...] dans un liquide approprié. Le [...] procédé [est] dit à la liqueur magnétique [...] Il existe trois techniques d'emploi de la liqueur magnétique : par immersion, par arrosage, et par application au pinceau.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
  • Soil Mechanics (Engineering)
CONT

Filter Fabric Soil Retention Test.... a laboratory test to evaluate the ability of filter fabrics to act as silt curtains or fences. The test apparatus consists of two plastic tanks... with one end of each tank being open and capable of holding the fabric to be tested in a fixed and vertical position. One tank is filled with water and given a dry weight of soil from the site of the proposed construction. After a prescribed mixing procedure the soil-water suspension is allowed to pass through the fabric separating the two tanks. Hydrometer analyses are used to evaluate the weight of soil in each tank and thereby the percent of soil passing the fabric. Head differentials allow for calculation of the velocities involved for repeated trials.
