During the last 20 years Veolia Water has been working on developments in four main areas:
Areas of development
Treatment methods
Actiflo™ Treatment process
80s
- water treatment process (drinking water) - ACTIFLO TM ;
- wastewater treatment process (by biological filtration) - BIOSTYR TM.
90s
- a flameless biosolid combustion process - ATHOS TM ;
- a biological deodorization process - ALIZAIR TM ;
- a biological treatment of wastewater (using immersed membranes) - BIOSEP TM ;
- a stabilization and sterilization process for the treatment of biosolids - SAPHYR TM.
Operating Software
90s
- remote management system of facilities - LERNE
- simulation tool to optimize the use of ozone - SIMOZONE.
1995
- a software solution integrating a quality module with hydraulic modeling of an urban drainage network - HYDROWORKS-DM became INFOWORKS-CS (in co-development with Wallingford Software).
1996
- software for managing the risks of industrial pollution - ACTIPOL.
