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.
Who are we?
