Discover the Valorterre Grand-Est platform in Talange
Located in the Moselle department (57), the Talange biocenter is a biological treatment platform for polluted soil.
The biocenter covers 7,000 m2 and has a treatment capacity of 30,000 t/year and a transit capacity of 14,000 t/year. It favors river transport thanks to its equipment of a quay edge allowing it to load barges directly.
The Talange biocenter takes in charge materials polluted with biodegradable organic compounds such as fuel oil, crude oil, diesel, kerosene. The recovered soils are reused for example as backfill or in landscaping projects.
expertises
With its expertise in the management of impacted materials, our team receives, controls, analyzes and sorts the excavated material. This characterization makes it possible to determine the path of the soil within the platform and to carry out the appropriate management according to the type of pollutant and the concentrations.
Non-impacted materials, or those that cannot be treated on site, are grouped together and directed to external ad hoc channels (recovery and/or treatment).
Biological degradation (with or without stimulation) is achieved by conditioning and placing the excavated soil in biopiles and biotanks. The control of chemical, physical and biological parameters creates a favorable environment for the development of micro-organisms that will eliminate the organic pollutants
Taking charge of the complete cycle of treatment of polluted materials until their final recovery, our teams ensure their traceability in the greatest respect of the regulatory and environmental requirements:
