A total of 200 m2 dedicated to R&D and quality control, including cutting-edge equipment that allows complete control over microorganism growth and biosurfactant production. Our teams work on multiple complex issues, including:

Selecting and producing biosurfactants

• Ongoing research for formula optimization (i.e., discovering even more effective, safe and eco-friendly ingredients)
• Developing cleaning solutions for every possible need
• Biofixation
• Wastewater treatment: processing grease and organic waste matter, reducing nitrogen compounds, controlling levels of H2S, etc.
• Biodegradation of hard-to-break down compounds: hydrocarbons, PCB, phenols, etc.

We also devote significant resources to foundational research. Today’s discovery is the basis for tomorrow’s environmentally-friendly, safer, higher-performing and lower-cost products and solutions.

Research is fundamental to our contribution to a more sustainable, ‘ecologically correct’ world. It requires painstaking and broad-based efforts..

Our research partnerships bolster our work: we have developed significant and long-lasting scientific partnerships with world-renowned research centers. These include:

• The CNRS, the French National Center for Scientific Research
• The IRD, the French Research Institute for Development
• The AMU, Aix-Marseille University
• The INRA: French National Agricultural Research Institute

Every market is unique. Our scientific and technical contacts throughout the world ensure that our formulas are appropriate to – and tested for – each market.
