Abstract
The invention relates to a method for treating an aqueous flow colonised by cells by applying a pulsed electric field, in which a colonised aqueous flow is subjected to an electric field of an intensity of 1 to 30 kV/cm, and to its application to destroying protozoa, in particular free living amoebas. It also concerns a method for destroying protozoa.
