The project



Watch our video explaining the goal of our project !


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.
