French term

Mouilleur

French to English Tech/Engineering Environment & Ecology Sewage treatment
Another term which has cropped up in this list of maintenance equipment and activities for a sewage treatment plant:

Local polymère zone humide
Niv. 28.10
(E27-20) Bâches 1,2 et 3 de maturation des polymères de boues digérées
(E27-25 ; E27-26 ; (E27-27)
3 agitateurs de 50 kg
*Mouilleurs* (boues digérées)

I've found this translated as "damper" but can't find it specifically in connection with sewage treatment. Does anyone know what these are called in this context?

Many thanks.

Wetting cone Having just posted this question, I've now come across the term "cône de mouillage", which appears to be a "wetting cone" according to the following site:

On that basis, I suppose wetting system or device might be appropriate for mouilleur
