This will involve measuring and burning excess biogas (CH4 and CO2) from household waste operated by Veolia at one of the largest landfills in Chile (300 to 400,000 inhabitants near Santiago).

This project will be carried out on the basis of the know-how of our long-standing partner Hofstetter, one of the technological precursors on the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Above 3D view of the future project

As part of the largest biomethane recovery market in France (+€200 million market), Micr’Eau participated this autumn in the installation of 6 Hofstetter flares with a 3600 Nm3/h biogas burning capacity. This delivery of key equipment for the biogas sector designed by the Suez group on behalf of SIAAP on the Achères wastewater treatment plant (8 million equivalent inhabitants) is part of the services provided by our company in France and abroad.

This tender won for 4 years confirms the logic of our company to deploy in the supply, installation and monitoring of flares after the gain of 6 new flares of 3600 Nm3/h awarded by the Suez group in 2019 to the Hofstetter-Micreau group for its Biogas sector on the same site. Achères is as a reminder the largest sewage treatment plant in Europe (8 Million Equivalent Inhabitants)
