Additional workshops

 Blending workshop: It is used for adjusting the end products, products that come from physically or chemically activated carbon, to the required capacity and composition.
 Conditioning workshop: It is used to for conditioning the end products either in sacks on pallets, in flexible or rigid containers (GRVS), or in bulk.
 Ateliers de filés
- Filés standards : Cet atelier permet le façonnage de poudre de charbon non activé, en granulés. Ces derniers sont ensuite activés dans un four d’activation de l’unité physique.
- Filés agglomérés : Cet atelier permet le façonnage des poudres de charbon activé, en granulé par addition de liants.
 Atelier d’imprégnation : Il permet d’effectuer sur des granulés-filés un dépôt de produit chimique adapté aux diverses applications désirées.
Le charbon imprégné est ensuite traité dans un four tournant chauffé au gaz naturel.
 Atelier de lavage de charbon actif : Cet atelier a pour objectif de diminuer les cendres totales par attaque acide des poudres de charbon activé à la vapeur. Cet atelier est constitué essentiellement de filtres et d’un four séchoir.

Carbon fibre processes
Explanation:
Looking at the posted text as a whole we seem to be describing different processes. Now we have "atelier" as "workshop", but when I was with an engineering company (in the UK), we used to talk about the rivetting "shop", the gear "shop", the fettling "shop", etc., i.e., the places where the processes were carried out. So if the emphasis is on a series of places, a UK context might use "shop" as the place for each of the processes to be carried out.

However, in this case it seems that we are focussing on a series of processes as such. So for each of these in the text, from "Blending" downwards, where we are describing the PROCESS rather than the place, would we not use the form "Blending Process: the process of combining [is "adjusting" right?] active carbon end products to make up the required capacity and composition".

Following this logic, for the next item you would use "conditioning process" - and then we come to the subject term of this query "Ateliers de filés". Here I suggest you could use "Carbon fibre processes" (plural) with the sub-headings "Standard fibres - this process generates non-active carbon powder in granules, and these are then rendered active in an oven..." and "Fibres in briquette form - this process generates active carbon powder in the form of granules by adding binders."

And then you'd go on to "Impregnation process", and "Active carbon washing process" etc.

Anyway, that's what I think. I hope it helps.
