Abstract: A method or process for removing suspended solids from water. The method entails utilizing floating particles that include a flocculant material secured or coated to the floating particles. The floating particles are directed into a lower portion of a treatment zone and as the floating particles with the attached flocculant material move upwardly through the water, suspended solids attach or agglomerate on the floating particles. Once at the surface level of the water being treated, the floating particles can be removed and a cleaning process can be implemented where the suspended solids attached or agglomerated around the floating particles can be removed and the cleaned floating particles can be recycled and used for further water treatment.

Abstract: A method of producing lime water comprising deionising dilution water by membrane filtration, distillation or an ion exchange resin and adding silicate ions to the deionised water. Thereafter, the deionised water treated with the silicate ions is mixed with milk of lime to form lime water. In one embodiment, the milk of lime and dilution water are mixed in a saturator where the silicate ions are introduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of coating the inner wall of a pipe with a protective film, consisting in forming said protective film from at least one latex. The invention also relates to the use of at least one latex in order to form a film that is intended to coat the inner wall of a pipe.
