Durante il normale funzionamento degli impianti, per un semplice meccanismo di erosione, la corrente gassosa durante il transito sul catalizzatore trascina della polvere di quest’ultimo nelle apparecchiature e valle, disperdendo piccole quantità di polvere di catalizzatore lungo le apparecchiature di processo.

downstream
Explanation:
yes, it does mean downstream - "a valle" and "a monte" are common terms in manufacture and engineering.

You're right, I hadn't noticed - I think it's a typo and should say "le apparecchiature a valle", not "e valle". That's how I actually read it!

Notes to answerer
Asker: My doubt came from the fact that it doesn't say "a valle" though, just "valle". Do you think it is valid anyway? I can't find any other meanings that would fit... Thanks!

Asker: I was wondering exactly the same thing. Thanks!
