Yara France
Saint-Nazaire Montoir
In August 2020, the company Yara in France commissioned a pilot project to verify the treatment of the company’s effluents, which originated from its production system and were causing a significant environmental problem. Over two years, we successfully treated these effluents, as verified by external companies and confirmed by Yara itself. Additionally, we obtained a construction permit for a commercial phase, which was ultimately halted due to the company’s discontinuation of activities, despite having successfully met all objectives.
From an environmental impact perspective, achieving the pilot's objectives meant that 300 m³ of wastewater per day could be treated viably, staying below the limits set by the relevant authorities and thereby preventing large-scale pollution. Furthermore, this scale would result in the capture of hundreds of tons of CO₂. On the economic side, studies conducted by accredited and independent organizations confirmed the suitability of the obtained biomass as a biostimulant.
We are treating wasterwaters charged in Nitrogen and Phosphorus thank to microalgae-based cleantech. We are producing microalgae biomass. The cultivation of microalgal biomass in flat photobioreactors is a technology that maximizes the yield of these cultures while simultaneously addressing environmental issues, namely: water pollution and CO₂ capture. Additionally, the biomass can be used as a biostimulant and animal nutrition. Our solution adapts the production model to any of these purposes. We therefore contribute to the preservation of water resources and biodiversity (WATER, AIR, SOIL & COASTS) through a sustainable, circular and regenerative business model.
