CA 2165072

A method is disclosed for removing dissolved oxygen from water containing zebra mussels. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed. Oxygen is removed from water to a level below that which is sufficient to support the survival respiration of the zebra mussels. A flow of water (6) from inlet conduit (3) enters a vacuum chamber (2) which is adapted to maintain an air space (5) above water (6). A vacuum pump (7) maintains a vacuum in air space (5) so as to extract dissolved gases, including oxygen, from water (6). An agitation device (8) and a dissolved oxygen sensor (9) may be included within the vacuum chamber (2). An additional vacuum unit (20) may be used to increase the throughput and discharge rate of water entering and leaving the system.

L'invention concerne une méthode visant à éliminer l'oxygène dissous de l'eau contenant des moules zébrées. Elle vise également un appareil de mise en oeuvre de la méthode. L'oxygène est éliminé de l'eau jusqu'à un niveau inférieur à celui qui est suffisant pour assurer la respiration de survie des moules zébrées. Un écoulement d'eau (6) provenant du conduit d'admission (3) pénètre dans une chambre à dépression (2) conçue pour maintenir un espace d'air (5) au-dessus de l'eau. Une pompe à vide (7) maintient le vide dans l'espace d'air (5) de manière à extraire les gaz dissous, y compris l'oxygène, dans l'eau (6).Un dispositif d'agitation (8) et un capteur d'oxygène dissous (9) peuvent être intégrés dans la chambre à dépression (2). Une unité à dépression supplémentaire (20) peut être utilisée pour augmenter le débit et la vitesse de refoulement de l'eau qui entre dans le système et qui en sort.
