Three turnkey projects for arsenic treatment

Micr’Eau continues to expand in the arsenic treatment sector

This spring, we commissioned several arsenic treatment systems using adsorption filtration in the private sector in France, including the Nutribio plant for industrial water production in Montauban; as well as in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region with a domestic unit near Lyon and a final treatment system at a mountain restaurant in Valmorel.

Three turnkey projects featuring compact units ranging from 3 to 16 m³/h, designed and built by our teams.

Micr’eau and Aguas Antofagasta : a promising partnership for arsenic treatment and drinking water in Chile

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.
