De-silting is a stage in the treatment of drinking water supplies containing particularly large quantities of suspended solids. It is a pre-clarification process designed to eliminate fine sand and silt. ... The average efficiency of de-silting equipment is between 65 and 80%. During periods of high turbidity, it may be necessary to add chemicals to increase efficiency which may then reach 75 to 98%. 1, record 1, English, - de%2Dsilting%20equipment

Le débourbage est un opération effectuée sur des eaux particulièrement chargées destinées à la consommation. C'est une prédécantation ayant pour but d'éliminer les sables fins et les limons. [...] Le rendement d'un débourbeur est de 65 à 80 % en moyenne. En période de haute turbidité, une adjonction de réactifs peut être nécessaire pour augmenter l'efficacité; le rendement peut alors atteindre 75 à 98 %. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9bourbeur
