Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial
French term or phrase: déversement en pluie
Treatment of VOCs in an industrial plant.

"Renseignez si le type de chargement des produits dans vos cuves est plutôt par submersion (tube plongeant ou par le bas de la cuve) ou en déversement par le haut (en pluie ou contre la paroi)"

"Selon les modèles d’estimation des émissions dans le secteur de la pétrochimie, il existe un facteur d’émission de vapeur de 2,8 , lié au mode chargement par déversement en pluie."

"De plus des mesures de débit sur des évents ont mis en évidence que pour certains produits (BPC, HPC, BPE) chargés dans une cuve par déversement en pluie et contre la paroi le facteur d’émission gaz par rapport au débit d’alimentation liquide peut atteindre 4."

"En pluie" seems fairly self-explanatory to me: to me it suggests you're pointing a hose up in the air so that the liquid which comes out of it falls into your tank as droplets over quite a wide area. Anyone know different, of if I'm right does anyone know how this might be expressed in this context?

agree  Tony M: Yes, it's not necessarily anything to do with pointing the hose upwards. It just means that in some way it 'rains down', like a shower, and so 'spray' seems to me ideal.

  -> Thank you. Bit like last night`s rain. No hosepipe in sight but plenty of water.

Explanation:
Not sure where you get the "wide area" part from. Sounds like some kind of overflow control rather than primary loading method.

disagree  SafeTex: Overflow control? C'est un méthode du chargement de la cuve
