  • Patent number: 8531303
    Abstract: Method for inspecting, in real time, the quality of water of a drinking water delivery network comprising, on the one hand, on connections for consumers, consumption meters (9a) fitted with remote-reading devices, and, on the other hand, on-line analysers (10a) distributed at supervision points on the network in order to measure at least one parameter of water quality. The meters (9a) are fitted with remote-reading devices and the consumption data of the various meters (9a), and the measurements of the analysers (10a) are transmitted to a programmed computing unit (A) with a kinetic model of decrease of the quality parameter in question; the computing unit (A) permanently updates the hydraulic model according to the consumption data received from the meters (9a, 9b etc.

  • Publication number: 20050258098
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for avoiding irreversible membrane clogging while maximising productivity, whatever the quality of the fluid at the installation intake. It consists in automatically controlling the installation operating parameters by performances induced by the quality of the fluid to be treated, based on predictions concerning the evolution of the membrane clogging carried out by modelling with a neuron network so as to simulate the long term operating conditions of the membrane filtering installation, the model enabling, on the basis of the quality of the in-flowing fluid and on the state of the membranes during a given cycle, to calculate the evolution of the clogging state of said membranes on a time basis, on a specific horizon, said calculation being performed for a simulated in-flowing quality, constant or variable, on said horizon (H) and to control and adjust the installation operating parameters.

  • Publication number: 20030176279
    Abstract: A process for the immobilization of a catalyst, in particular an oxidation or synthesis catalyst, on supports making it possible to bring said catalysts into contact with solutions or liquids being treated, characterized in that the deposition of the catalyst is carried out by:
