German term

Mutterflotte

German to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial pollution
This might be very easy but I can't find the English term.
Examples:
"Entfernung der PFOS aus Mutterflotte via Adsorberharz XXXX"
PFOS > type of pollutant
"Bevor der Adsorber mit Mutterflotte beschickt wird ...."
"Abwasser: Mutterflotte xxx 500"

TIA for any suggestions.

Thank you Bernd. I was thinking along the lines of 'cultivation' and could not find anything. Your answer makes complete sense.
