Each in 3 different areas: hospital waters, municipal waters and mineral waters. In total about thirty tons of media GEH (iron oxide) and Actiguard (activated alumina) delivered this summer.
Micreau, thanks to the support of the “Find an Expert” service of the CNRS, has signed a technical cooperation agreement with the Institute of Chemistry of Clermont-Ferrand, a research laboratory of the CNRS and the University Clermont Auvergne and Sigma Clermont, to characterize the adsorption power of filter media applied in the elimination of arsenic.
With a very important tooling and a strong competence in the field of adsorbent media, this laboratory should allow Micreau to strengthen its technological knowledge in this market segment applied to drinking water but also to industrial and mining effluents.
To learn more about this collaboration, watch the joint video between the leader of Micreau and Mr. Claude Forano, professor at the University clermont Auvergne, which was presented on June 25, 2021 by the team of the “Find an Expert” service of the CNRS as part of the event “Connexion Days” organized by the LAB’O village by CA , crédit Agricole Centre Loire, the technopole and the metropolis of Orléans.
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.
