The mission of this experimental research and development site will be to evaluate the behaviour of water treatment and membrane separation units on real waters of different characteristics, and to develop new water treatment processes and membrane separations. Its ideal location on the edge of Garonne, on the Rouquet site in Agen, between the drinking water treatment plant and the effluent treatment plant, will allow it to access and reuse different water sources of various qualities and at various stages of treatment necessary for testing. This site will offer academic research and industry players a unique field of experimentation in France.
