Hi, it's me again! :-)

This translation is really killing me! Chemistry isn't really my line -
well, at least not sewage and pollution control. Along with my computer
science I have a lot of medicine on my time table, but *not* this
stuff! :-)

Anyway, my next little problem is a device that in German is call "air
washer" (there in one word). It's a device that is used to remove paint
(varnish) from the air vented from some place. I don't know how this
works techically, but I do know that water is used in the process.
What's that called in English? Is there a special word or is it just a
water based air cleaner or air purifier? Air washer?

Oh, and while you're at it... :-)

There is something hier about a "circulation cleaning" (literally
translated). Does anyone know what that might be?

Thanks!
Chris

Do a web search in German for:

water purification plants

water purification process

water plant schematic

water plant diagram

That should get you a diagram
of how a water plant operates.

It's a complicated process you
need to understand in your native
language first.

I had to do a web search in English
to find out how complicated it is.

Once you understand it in German
do a web search in English.

Air treatment is called aeration.
