Chlorination; water
As far as I know, 'résiduel' is usually an adjective in French. I am not sure whether it is used in the context below to mean 'residual chlorine' or 'chorine residue' - which is slightly different... any ideas?
Les résiduels de chlore au niveau des sorties des sites de productions (Champ captant du nord et usine X sont « globalement » maîtrisés sur la base d’une consigne en chlore de 0.5 - 0.7 mg/L. Bien que s’étant améliorée, suite à la mise en œuvre de chloration complémentaires, la stabilité des résiduels demeure difficile puisque des variabilités de plus de 50 % sont régulièrement constatées. Enfin, de nombreuses erreurs de signal sur les analyseurs liés à des défauts de maintenance ou des travaux (mis en stand-by des analyseurs) sont constatées et rendent difficile l’évaluation de la fiabilité réelle de la chloration.

residual chlorine levels
During treatment, you throw in a certain amount of chlorine per cubic metre of water, but the chlorine undergoes different reactions, degrades, etc., and by the time the water reaches the discharge point, the chlorine content has diminished. That's why you have to keep throwing chlorine into your pool ...

Comment: "Thanks Bourth - this was very helpful and fitted my context perfectly. Whilst the other answer was technically correct, 'residual chlorine levels' sounded much better and it is what I used. I am glad to see that you have not stopped answering my questions. Apparently there have been unfounded rumours circulating about my rates being low (which they are not - they are on a par with many others!) in an attempt to ostracize me, which is in breach of Proz.com rules, not to mention childish. So thank you for not having allowed yourself to become 'infected'. It appears the forums (a.k.a 'fora') might need an extra dose of chlorination to get rid of the germs! "
