Description

CIS Alpha(r) offers a sustainable, high-performance solution for industrial effluent treatment, addressing rising water scarcity and strict environmental regulations. Piloted at Smurfit Kappa's Biganos site, the system combines natural zeolites and advanced microfiltration to purify wastewater from pulp and paper processes. Key features include efficient contaminant capture via zeolites, fine particle and microorganism removal through microfiltration, and a modular design enabling scalable deployment across various industrial sectors.applications. 

Impact & Result

Achieved 97% reduction in COD, BOD5, TSS, nitrogen, heavy metals, and colloids, enabling safe water reuse. Saved €231,682/year by cutting treatment costs and freshwater intake. Reused 675,000 m³/year of purified water, reducing environmental impact and operating expenses while supporting circular water management.

Solution Spotlight

SOLeHo offers solutions that meet the requirements of national and European legislation. - Reference: Environmental and health standards for: recovery of water for industrial activities and human consumption, discharge into the natural environment, recycling (capture of heavy metals and chemical derivatives). - CLEAR IMPACT STATION (CIS) is a nomadic connected station, water treatment, and aims to set up, consolidate and capitalize (Blue DATA), which has been done thanks to university work (with conditions at low scale), in particular to develop a solution for the transition to the next stages of the industrial project. The data modeling (Blue Data) of this pilot will make it possible to size the development of the pre-industrial then industrial phase of the solution. CIS will pave the way for the development of structured industrial offers, allowing to measure the environmental impact and which will lead to offers and services to the commercial industry.
