Being keen to comfort its presence on all continents, SERES environnement decided not to exhibit at Pollutec Lyon this year. The company will however be horoured there on Tuesday, Décember 2^nd, during the ceremony of “Awards for Innovative Techniques for the Environment & Industry-Research Meetings” initiated by POLLUTEC and the ADEME (French Environment & Energy Agency). The prize is remitted by professional magazines, Environnement & Techniques and Hydroplus, and rewards the fruitful collaboration of public research laboratories with the industry, as developped by the Chemistry Laboratory of the CNRS-Provence University, the SEM (Marseilles Water Company) and SERES environnement : a new concept for the continuous analysis of aluminium and iron salts in potable water.
