Success Explorer

A journey into the heart of advances in research

Veolia’s Research and Development constantly contributes to inventing innovative solutions desired by individuals, municipalities and companies. The Success Explorer initiative focuses on the concrete results of this research, which has mobilized Veolia’s internal resources and partners.

In light of the major modern-day challenges, Veolia’s R&D teams are permanently mobilized in order to contribute to the major advances in environmental services; this is what Success Explorer intends to illustrate.

The Success Explorer initiative highlights five achievements managed by Veolia’s R&D on its own or as part of fruitful external partnerships, in the domain of new technologies, original services and performance improvement.

By pointing out the challenges encountered and presenting in a clear light the methods used and above all the actual results obtained, Success Explorer takes you on a tour of Veolia’s Research and Development success stories.

For universal access purposes, Success Explorer is embodied by an “exploratory shuttle” presenting these innovations in a simple and fun manner alongside short videos of researchers.

Metal recovery

Zinc and nickel are given a new lease of life after being extracted from very heterogeneous industrial wastewater and waste. It is possible and economically viable to recover them.

Microbus

Veolia’s Research has embarked on a major challenge: help bridge the gap between cars and buses to let the city breathe.

Coliplage® process

Bathing water quality can now be evaluated in real time with a fluorescent reagent, whose analysis time has been reduced to just one hour compared with the previous 36 hours!

Athos™ process

With this process, local authorities, regardless of their size, can now treat the sludge generated by its wastewater treatment plants on an industrial scale while respecting the environment.

Gas sensor

Natural gas, a source of energy with a bright future, is still difficult to use. The gas sensor adapts to the variations in the composition of this source of energy in real time, thereby combining energy efficiency and a reduction in pollutant emissions.
