Challenges and stakes of R&D

The research projects :

 

Optimisation of reed bed filters yields (especially on total nitrogen and phosphorus) through special projects

SLASORB ( http://www.smn.fr/z-ener/slasorb/ ) or ( http://www.afoco.org/img/fichiers/file/ARCELOR%20MITTAL%20(SUITE).pdf ), in cooperation with the Nantes School of Mining (Ecole des Mines de Nantes) is a EUROPEAN research project on wastewater treatment using steel slag for phosphorus removal. It is being funded by the European Commission’s Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS).

• Compact solutions : Bi-filtre planté®, Biho-filtre® -system stacking a primary vertical freely drained filter on a water-saturated secondary filter so as to improve the overall performance of nitrogen treatment (denitrification), Combipur®.
• SEGTEUP project(treatment of rainwater and overflow from storm spillways in cooperation with CEMAGREF (website ANR SEGTEUP).(see ANR SEGTEUP web site).
• Adaptation of the solutions to tropical climates (West Indies, sub-Saharan countries…)
