Arsenic treatment in the Atacama Desert

Arsenic treatment in the Atacama Desert

Micr’Eau, holder of a €621,000 FASEP project co-financed by DG Treasury in Chile, is currently on a mission to the Salar de Atacama to install two drinking water treatment units eliminating arsenic. These stations located in Toconao and Socaire will discharge 400 and 200m3/d respectively and will be able to treat up to 250 ppb of arsenic.

Terzeo: a first in arsenic decontamination on polluted soils

Terzeo: a first in arsenic decontamination on polluted soils

Micr’Eau, with its experience in arsenic treatment by adsorption filtration, has just signed a contract to clean up arsenic-contaminated soils with Terzeo (a subsidiary of the Clamens construction and waste group).

This ambitious project should make it possible to clean up an industrial zone in Ile de France and to continue the treatment of arsenic in a second phase concerning the industrial effluents of the same customer.

Micr’Eau wins a 600,000 euro call for projects as part of the Fasep launched by dg Trésor. It includes the establishment of two potabilisation stations (arsenic adsorption filtration) and a reprocessing unit for arsenated waste located in the Baqudano area near the mining sites; This project represents 400 engineer days and will be carried out jointly by Micreau and its subsidiary AEC in Chile. The beneficiary AMRA (association of municipalities of the Antofagasta region, 700,000 people) will bring its know-how in infrastructure management to accompany Micr’Eau in its planned completion over 2021 (12 months)
