En find e 1ere centrifugation SB7, 2 débourbages succesifs en solution sulfate 190g/L sont effectués afin de récupérer tout le précipité.
I have checked the other listings in the Kudoz glossaries, but I'm not sure if they fit this context. I would appreciate any thoughts on using "decantation" here. Thanks!

decanting
There must be a more technical term. The meaning is there. In wine making the word débourbage is kept

: Yes. Very likely. I was just about to post the same answer :) // I believe this is the term used in wine making, based on a few references that I found...

: you decant the supernatant but not the precipitate/no need to be rude - I have made a suggestion/"so what do you suggest then?" in any language is not a particularly polite response to a peer comment in my view

To Dispurse
In your context, you are speaking of a chemical reaction. Hence the "centrifugation" (in french; meaning "to separate")
In in the second half of the sentence, it is saying: "2 débourbages succesifs en solution sulfate 190g/L sont effectués afin de récupérer tout le précipité."
Which may translate (if I'm correct): "Two dispurse sucessively in sulfate solution. 190g / L are made to recover all the precipitate."

settling
Seems that in the wine making context, debourbage is the process of clarification by settling...
So if your question is about a pharmaceutical process, then my educated guess would be that you would take the supernatant after centrifugation, combine it with the sulfate solution to help precipitate out any additional solids that need to "settle" out of the supernatant.
But I would want to know if your document is concerned with capturing the supernatant or the precipitate to be really sure!
