The activities
of this department deal with
the study of technico-economic
industrial processes for the
recovery of materials and energy.
Activities related to the treatment
of waste materials look at
comparisons of different types
of treatment in function of
the dispersion and nature of
the deposits to be treated,
integrating the issues of residues
and their impact on the environment.
Special attention is given
to thermal treatments using
thermolysis. The appropriateness
of the type of treatment in
relation to the installation
capacity is studied, taking
account of the deposits and
industrial capacities in place.
Synergistic possibilities in
the treatment of various types
of waste are examined in function
of local situations.
Two types
of research missions are conducted.
The first, at industrial level,
are missions where we evaluate
the most suitable technologies
in function of the recovery
of materials and energy from
various waste products We accompany
those working in industry in
the evaluation of the compatibility
of using products derived from
the treatment of waste in their
various manufacturing or production
procedures. We undertake scientific
coordination of trials that
we recommend carrying out on
industrial waste products.
We offer aid in the establishment
of specifications for invitations
to tender.
The second type of mission takes place at community level,
where we evaluate and characterise
waste deposits (their nature
and dispersion). We examine
potential channels of elimination,
taking account of local industry
and their potential and of their
interest in developing sub-products
coming from the various waste
treatment processes. We participate
in the study of the choice of
technologies in function of
the deposits to be treated (household
waste, banal municipal and industrial
waste.
