Lake Neuchâtel: a sensitive environment to be preserved

Share:

Neuchâtel Lake (Suisse).

The modernization and upgrading of the Yverdon-les-Bains wastewater treatment plant (Canton of Vaud) by Stereau Suisse teams continues, with the start of equipment assembly and the installation of the 4 CarboPlus® micrograins cells for micropollutant treatment.

At its wastewater treatment plant, the town of Yverdon-les-Bains has chosen to integrate Stereau’s patented CarboPlus® micrograins process, which is unrivalled on the market today.

This regenerable granular activated carbon treatment on a fluidized bed removes a very broad spectrum of micropollutants (pesticides, biocides, detergents, drug residues from domestic and industrial activities), ensuring that the town of Yverdon-les-Bains and the surrounding region benefit from high-quality treated water that protects the aquatic flora and fauna of Lake Neuchâtel over the long term.

By 2040, the Yverdon-les-Bains wastewater treatment plant will be treating water for a population of 70,000.
A fine illustration of Stereau Suisse’s expertise in micropollutant treatment and its commitment to sustainable resource protection throughout the water cycle.

"A veritable biodiversity hotspot, the south shore of Lake Neuchâtel is the largest lake marsh in Switzerland, with vast reedbeds, sedge meadows and ponds, bordered at the back by an alluvial forest and a slope forest. This great diversity of environments has led to the development of exceptional flora and fauna, which must be protected".
