The SVP/R3 process generating system involves the same reaction as the R2 process. Steam is the stripping medium and the diluent for the ClO2 produced. A heat exchanger provides the heat to evaporate water and crystallize the sodium sulphate which is filtered off and sent to the recovery system. The unused acid plus residual chlorate and chloride are returned to the generator. 1, record 2, English, - SVP%2FR%2D3%20process

Un échangeur de chaleur procure l'énergie pour évaporer l'eau et cristalliser le sulfate de sodium qui est filtré et envoyé au système de récupération.

À un arrêt du jeu, lorsque le spectacle se fait moche, ou après une série de jeux à l'emporte-pièce, l'envie de stimuler les joueurs se fait sentir parmi la foule. Les spectateurs d'une section se lèvent alors, bras dans les airs, puis se rassoient au moment même où ceux de la section à leur gauche se lèvent à leur tour, bras dans les airs. Le mouvement se continue et fait le de l'amphithéâtre, 1, 2, 3 fois. Après les sons en crescendo d'instruments de toutes sortes, les cris scandés invoquant le nom du club ou celui d'un joueur, et les invitations à manifester, gestuelles de la part de la mascotte du club ou sonores, de celle de l'organiste de la maison, ce jeu de la foule est le dernier cri des encouragements qu'un club local puisse recevoir (surtout populaire aux matches de hockey, de baseball et de football). 1, record 5, French, - vague

Les territoires dits "déstructurés" sont ceux où de nombreuses activités autres qu'agricoles sont menées. Ils ne jouiraient pas, en quelque sorte, d'une "structure" agricole homogène. En raison de ce fait, il est difficile de les considérer comme des territoires agricoles et de leur conserver la catégorie de zonage correspondante. L'adjectif "déstructuré" semble bel et bien être le terme consacré. Les explications nous ont été fournies par M. Jean-Luc Hénault, de la Commission de protection du territoire agricole du Québec. 2, record 6, French, - territoire%20d%C3%A9structur%C3%A9
