The project



Watch our video explaining the goal of our project !






A project anchored at the heart of current concerns



Environment and risks prevention issues are a major stake in our society. The Rhône-Alpes region has understood that very early, especially through the importance of its chemical and nuclear activities.

Industrial wastewater treatment permits their reuse in industrial use and improve their quality, enabling compliance with discharge standards. Various processes are currently implemented to clear the wastewater from its contaminants (e.g. biological, membrane liquid-solid separation, physical, chemical and thermal processes). One of them is bioremediation.

It embraces processes that use microorganism metabolism to remove pollutants from a contaminated environment. This rather new approach, the less expensive to put in place, is especially interesting in the treatment of poorly contaminated effluents.
