The Site Pilote de Bellecombe (SIPIBEL) was created in 2011 in order to study the characterisation, treatability and impacts of hospital effluents in a urban sewage treatment plant.
Research programs:
1) 2012-2015: IRMISE Arve Aval – French-Swiss program
Focused on the impact of micropollutant discharges from WWTP downstream of the Arve catchment and on the Genevese Aquifer
2) 2014-2018: RILACT SIPIBEL Site Pilote de Bellecombe – Risks and action-levers
Project: “Risks and measures related to pharmaceutical, detergent and biocide discharges in hospital and urban effluents”
3) 2015-2016: MediATeS SIPIBEL Site Pilote de Bellecombe – Territorial coordination
Project: “Awareness of the ‘pharmaceuticals in water’ issue”
- Which levers and which scenarios to reduce pharmaceuticals residues in water cycle?
