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?

Thirteen students from INSA Lyon and ENS Lyon (two french schools) supervised by several researchers and PhD students. Thirteen students ultra motivated for this unique experience. Thirteen students crazy enough to spend their summer in the labs and think that they will go to Boston. Until meeting us in Amsterdam (or maybe in Boston :) ), we invite you to discover the team members, our schools, our city and our funny photos in the About Us section/a>.
