Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating the liquid part from the suspended matter in a sludge supplied in a continuous flow at a flow rate of QEB=V/hour. The flow is divided into at least two partial flows which are sprayed on top of one another into a sealed chamber of volume v<V/20, simultaneously injecting air therein at a flow rate d, said chamber being kept under overpressure conditions. The suspended matter of the thus treated flow is then left to decant in a collection container, with the cake or solid part falling to the bottom and separating from the liquid part which is continuously discharged.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for purifying liquid effluents, in which water is separated from substances by performing, in a single vertical enclosure (3), a vertical bubbling in the effluents fed at a flow rate d. The enclosure has a free surface and includes at least two compartments (4, 5, 6, 7) communicating together for enabling a circulation between the compartments successively from the top to the bottom and from the bottom to the top between the lower portion thereof and a medium level at a flow rate D at least three times higher than the flow rate d. The supernatant phase is continuously discharged and a hydraulic or gaseous chemical oxidation of said effluents is simultaneously carried out in the same enclosure, the chemical oxidation rate and the bubble flow rate and size being selected in order to progressively obtain a separation of the solid/liquid and liquid/liquid phases at the surface of the enclosure for obtaining a COD below a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for scrubbing liquid effluents laden with dissolved or undissolved organic and/or inorganic substances and continuously fed at a flow rate Df. After a preliminary effluent-floating operation if required, the method comprises carrying out at least one treatment cycle, the treatment cycle including a first step in which the effluents are subjected to an electrolytic treatment by circulation in a first compartment while generating a very strong turbulence, followed by a second step in which the undissolved elements contained in the effluents are agglomerated by coagulation/flocculation before circulating the effluents in a second free surface compartment, with the scraping of the sludge carried out at the upper portion, while bubbling and maintaining a reduced turbulence in said second compartment.
