Wastewater containing starches occurs in particular where potatoes are washed, peeled and processed. Potato starch settles in pipelines and within a very short time leads to clogging. With the starch separator the potato starch remains in the separating compartment. The starch foam that is generated is put down by water with an installed spray head. 1, record 3, English, - starch%20separator

Les fécules peuvent être récupérées par un séparateur de fécules, placé directement à la sortie des éplucheuses de pommes de terre. Un système de pulvérisation d'eau rabat les mousses produites par l'éplucheuse, entraînant une inévitable consommation d'eau. C'est de loin la meilleure solution car, compte tenu de la propension de cette substance à colmater les canalisations, l'intérêt de la récupérer à la source est réel. 4, record 3, French, - s%C3%A9parateur%20de%20f%C3%A9cules

... the loss of head is taken as a criterion, and washing is carried out as soon as it reaches a certain limit, incorrectly called maximum clogging. In fact, this loss of head depends on both clogging and flow. This method permits a check to be kept upon the clogging of the filter only if the flow is constant. 1, record 5, English, - maximum%20clogging

[...] on se base sur la perte de charge et on procède au lavage dès qu'elle atteint une certaine limite, improprement appelée encrassement maximal. En réalité, cette perte de charge dépend à la fois de l'encrassement et du débit. Ce moyen ne permet d'apprécier l'encrassement du filtre que si l'on travaille à débit constant. 1, record 5, French, - encrassement%20maximal
