A study for the supply of 2 gasometers for Suez Benfeld
Micr’Eau, with its nearly 20 years of experience with all the technical solutions developed with the Sattler group in the field of biogas storage, is entrusted by Suez France (Strasbourg agency) with detail studies of the installation of two gasometers on post digesters as part of the contract of work won by this group on behalf of the SDEA.
The objective is to size two stockers with a total volume of nearly 1000 m3 of biogas produced by the methanization of sludge from the treatment of wastewater from the Benfeld desure plant (67).
This study will result in the completion of these biogas storage works from 2021 before being injected into the grid.

Micreau assembles a gasometer for Octeva in Calais
Mounting a Hofstetter torch and a Sattler gasometer for OTV Grand Paris in Bonneuil (95)
Micreau and its construction teams have achieved the feat of mounting in less than a week two major equipment for the future station of Bonneuil in France (SIAAH- 500,000 Eq Habitants):
– A 1500m3 Sattler brand biogas stocker (Germany)
– A 600 Nm3/h Hofstetter capacity flare (Holland)
These two imposing equipments: torch 7m high and gasometer 10m high, will allow the biogas line designed by OTV to ensure storage and security of the process.
The combined amount of this transaction represents an investment of more than 160,000 euros HT.
Recent news on the resumption of biogas sites in France after deconfining:
1/ Micreau has just completed the Kerry project in the PACA region in May for the coverage of a high-rise gasometer on an industrial station operated by SAUR. This project carried out in one week mobilized 5 people from our company to resume operation within 8 days.
2/ Micreau will start the Hofstetter torch and Sattler gasometer installed by its care at the Ginestous/Toulouse treatment plant built by OTV Sud Ouest (Veolia Group) at the beginning of July.
3/ In June we install the Sattler gasometer on the Octeva site (Urbaser group) to store biogas from the methanisation of household waste in the Calais region.
