Skill:
I created SCIRPE Company in 2001. SCIRPE is specialized in wastewater treatment with constructed wetlands. Its main activity is the response to public tenders for the turnkey supply of wastewater treatment plants.
Its turnover is 4 million Euros with a work force of 17 employees.
I developed Several French and European patents:
- Development of a Solar hydraulic flushing in 2003
- Development of the AZOE-N Process in 2006
- Development of the AZOE-P Process in 2011
I implemented a research and development projects in partnership with INSA’s DEEP Laboratory (wastes,water,environment,pollution) in 2010 supporting phD students. The main focus of our research are:
- The behavior of phosphorus retention and the mineralization mechanisms at the top deposit layer of vertical flow constructed Wetlands.
- The mechanisms of nitrogen removal in vertical flow constructed wetlands
