Ces considérations s'interprètent aisément au moyen des graphiques classiques d'encrassement. 1, record 15, French, - graphique%20d%27encrassement

A few centimetres of coarse gravel, no deeper than the head of the nozzles, still further improves the flow of the filtrate and wash-water at floor level between the nozzles; there is therefore no possibility of a stagnant zone where sand, impurities or plankton might accumulate. 1, record 16, English, - stagnant%20zone

Seuls quelques centimètres de gros graviers, sur une hauteur égale à la tête des buselures, améliorent encore l'écoulement de l'eau filtrée et de l'eau de lavage au niveau du plancher entre les buselures; ainsi, il n'existe aucune possibilité de zone morte où pourrait s'agglomérer le sable avec des impuretés ou du plancton. 1, record 16, French, - zone%20morte

The bed of sand rests on a floor equipped with a very close network of long-stemmed nozzles about 55 per square metre; optimum drainage of the entire surface of the filter bed is thus ensured, and absolutely equal distribution of the filtrate, wash-water and scour air is obtained with a limited head loss. 1, record 17, English, - long%2Dstemmed%20nozzle
