Micr’Eau has started a GEH media change project in Quilicura, one of Chile’s largest drinking water stations (540m3/h) treating arsenic.

A mega contract for Micr’Eau in Chile

Micr’Eau wins with its Chilean partner Cobre y Metales the largest contract to change filter media in the world: 17 changes on the Santiago de Chile region with Aguas Andinas.

This project is established for 3 years and concerns 5 adsorption filtration treatment plants in the capital operated by Aguas Andinas: Quilicura antigua y nueva, San Antonio, Lampa, lo Pinto.

With the support of its Chilean mining services partner, Cobre Y metales (80 people), Micr’Eau and its subsidiary AEC will have to manage the change of more than 300 T of GEH-type adsorbant media saturated with arsenic during drinking water filtration. This new mega-reference is in addition to the 80 installations already followed by the group around the world.

Micr’Eau continues its Research and Development efforts by participating with ESCOM (The Higher School of Organic and Mineral Chemistry) of Compiègne in the Bioshell program, to test filter media on a dedicated pilot.
It is also worth noting the recruitment of an alternating engineer from this school, to accompany Micr’Eau in its research and development programs.
