In March 2025, the Micr’Eau group won the world’s largest arsenic services contract (2 Meuros) with the Sacyr Agua group. 240 tonnes of GEH filter media delivered and 12 sites monitored over three years around Santiago de Chile.
After the multi-year contract obtained 4 months ago with the Esval concessionaire, Micr’Eau confirms its position as Chilean leader in the sector.
From June 3 to 6, 2024, Micr’eau will be proud to take part in EXPONOR in Antofagasta, a key event for the mining and energy sectors. This event is organized by the Antofagasta Industrial Association (AIA), a Chilean benchmark with 80 years’ experience, which plans to bring together over 700 exhibitors and 41,000 visitors. Micr’eau will be taking advantage of the show to present its innovative technology solutions in wastewater treatment, biogas and renewable energies. In particular, Micr’eau’s green hydrogen offering will be in the spotlight, with references such as Thytan and Boxhy.
Micr’eau has just completed a detailed feasibility study to install an adsorption filtration finishing treatment in the world’s largest arsenic treatment plant. The plant is located in Salar de Carmen in Chile, close to the lithium production sites of SQM (Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile) and Albemarle.
These technical services commissioned by Aguas Antofagasta, the water concession holder in Chile’s second region and a subsidiary of the Colombian group EPM (Empresas Públicas de Medellín), should result in a drinking water treatment plant that will be operational in the coming months.
As part of its arsenic treatment needs, Micr’Eau Chile imports and stocks several dozen tons of GEH filter media in Santiago and northern Chile to serve its mining and water concession customers.
This GEH product is required for the treatment of arsenic-contaminated drinking water, but also for industrial water and contaminated soil.
Micr’Eau has been a leader in these sectors in France and Chile for over a decade.
ABM (Andes Bio Medio) wins a technical expertise contract with the Canadian mining group Teck in Chile on the Quebrada Blanca 2 site
On this copper mine where the largest mining investment in South America of the decade was made ($ 5 billion) to extract and produce copper at 4500m altitude, the Canadian group Teck has entrusted an expertise on water to ABM our subsidiary services in Chile to determine the best possible maintenance on its drinking water units (150 m3 / h including iron / manganese treatment, arsenic treatment and reverse osmosis followed by remineralization).
Thanks to our geographical location in the north of the country (Antofagasta region), ABM is ideally placed to serve its mining customers (Lithium, Copper). Above is the mining camp of its Chilean partner Cobre y Metales from where ABM operates.
