An innovative and proven large-scale biofiltration technology
The Proteus™ process is based on an upward-flow filtration system incorporating a patented cross-shaped floating expanded polypropylene media. This unique design optimizes hydraulic and biological exchanges, ensuring high treatment performance in both primary and biological treatment phases. It also provides effective management of stormwater overflows an increasingly critical challenge for local authorities in the face of climate change.
In its various configurations, Proteus™ combines major technical and economic advantages: rapid start-up, simple operation with low maintenance requirements, a compact footprint, and the ability to meet or even exceed the most demanding treatment objectives. With reduced civil engineering requirements, it also enables significant cost savings for project owners.
Deployed since 2002 in over 60 wastewater treatment plants worldwide, the technology has proven effective at sites ranging from 5,000 to more than one million population equivalents. Its efficiency, energy economy, and flexible integration make it particularly well-suited to dense urban environments, constrained sites, and both modernization and expansion projects of existing facilities.
