Micr’Eau has started a GEH media change project in Quilicura, one of Chile’s largest drinking water stations (540m3/h) treating arsenic.
This project is established for 3 years and concerns 5 adsorption filtration treatment plants in the capital operated by Aguas Andinas: Quilicura antigua y nueva, San Antonio, Lampa, lo Pinto.
With the support of its Chilean mining services partner, Cobre Y metales (80 people), Micr’Eau and its subsidiary AEC will have to manage the change of more than 300 T of GEH-type adsorbant media saturated with arsenic during drinking water filtration. This new mega-reference is in addition to the 80 installations already followed by the group around the world.
The project will be to build two arsenic processing units and a saturated media regeneration centre to serve industrial and municipal customers in northern Chile.
This signing ceremony was held at the French Ambassador’s house in Santiago in the presence of the Economic Mission and the elected representatives of the Northern Region as well as the President of the Micr’Eau group Pascal Guasp
