Its participation in the WFEE will be an occasion for Microhumus Analysis & Consulting to exclusively present a one-of-a-kind technology: the construction of soils in a desert environment using local organic waste. This technique, representing a real opportunity for a zone where the environment is a burning issue, will be presented at the France pavilion. It is backed up by concrete references (ARCELOR MITTAL, Pizzorno Environnement, etc.) for pilot projects implemented in France to construct soils on polluted industrial wasteland.
This technology, exploited exclusively by Microhumus in the Middle East, is based on the analysis of organic products using traditional methods, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and microanalysis by EDX probe, as well as on unique know-how in the construction of soils from waste. The use of TEM makes it possible to characterise local waste deposits and predict the behaviour of these materials in terms of biodegradation and microbial activity. The combination of these analyses with global physicochemical analyses makes it possible to draw up recipes for the soils being constructed, indicate their agronomic potential and predict their development over time. This technique is the result of 10 years of joint research between the INRA (French National Institute of Agronomic Research), TVD and the University of Nancy.
Microhumus Analysis & Consulting is the export division of the independent laboratory Microhumus, well-known for its team of experts and its technology, the only one of its kind in the world. Microhumus specialises in the analysis of composts, soils and organo-mineral products. In Europe, compost and recycling manufacturers are the main beneficiaries of its analysis and consultancy services. Among other things, Microhumus advises its clients on the characterisation of organic waste, the improvement of composting processes and recipes and the enhancement of agronomic quality. Industry leaders and many small firms call upon its expertise, and companies that rely on its technology include Veolia, Norske Skog, K+S (Compo), IFP, Or Brun, Tonusol and Germiflor.
Microhumus is a member of the International Ademe Club and the GISFI (industrial wasteland scientific interest group)
