pompe à émulsion d’air : Une telle pompe se compose essentiellement d’une conduite dont l’extrémité inférieure est immergée dans un réservoir, et d’une autre conduite introduisant de l’air comprimé à proximité de l’extrémité immergée de la première conduite. L’air comprimé qui se mélange au liquide dans la conduite immergée forme un ensemble plus léger que le liquide, il se crée donc une poussée ascendante sur le fluide ainsi allégé. 4, record 1, French, - pompe%20%C3%A0%20%C3%A9mulsion%20d%27air

An airlift pump is a pump that has low suction and moderate discharge of liquid and entrained solids. The pump injects compressed air at the bottom of the discharge pipe which is immersed in the liquid. The compressed air mixes with the liquid causing the air-water mixture to be less dense than the rest of the liquid around it and therefore is displaced upwards through the discharge pipe by the surrounding liquid of higher density. 3, record 3, English, - airlift%20pump

Surge-blocks, swabs, or plungers are disc shaped devices made to fit tightly within the well. Their edges are usually fitted with rubber or leather rings to make a tight seal against the well casing. Pipe sections are then attached to the surge-block to lower it into the well, above the well screen, and about 15 feet below the water level. The assembly is then repeatedly lifted up and down. The up and down action of the surge-block creates suction and compression strokes that force water in and out of the well through the screened interval, gravel pack, and aquifer. It works like a plunger in the way that it removes small obstructions and sediments from the well. The surge-block is slowly lowered each time resistance begins to decrease. 2, record 5, English, - surge%20block
