This section describes tertiary circuit water treatment and associated issues, in particular discharge into the river.
These treatments are of two types and concern the 11 power plants (table 1 ) located on the banks of rivers and with cooling towers, also known as aerorefrigerators, i.e. semi-closed circuits, due to :
