Efficient local solutions for the management and recovery of polluted excavated material
Discover the Valorterre Occitanie platform in Bessens
Located in the Tarn-et-Garonne department (82), the Bessens biocenter is a biological treatment platform for polluted soil.
With a surface area of 1.6 ha, the biocenter offers a treatment capacity of 50,000 t/year. Ideally located near the main roads linking Toulouse to Montauban, the facility provides treatment solutions for the entire Midi-Pyrénées region.
The Bessens biocenter takes in charge materials polluted with biodegradable organic compounds such as fuel oil, crude oil, diesel, kerosene. Once recovered, the soil is reused for example as fill material or in landscaping projects.
expertises
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 a biopile or biotank. 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:

- Traceability of materials (BSD, weighing, register…)
- Autonomous weighing on site by weighbridge with follow-up software for the traceability of the receptions
