Abstract
Agricultural and agrofood industries such as the breeding, dairy or sugar industries produce large quantities of effluents. As these waste waters may be important sources of pollution of the environment, notably of natural water resources (Müller and Heil 1998; Martinez and Le Bozec 2000), they cannot be released into the environment without treatment. They must be collected, stored and eventually treated to comply with chemical, physical, and microbial standards before being released into public streams.
