Margaux LHUISSIER (Bourse CIFRE entreprise CHIMIREC, Co-encadrement : A. KANE, UniLaSalle Rennes - A. AMRANE Université Rennes1- J-L. AUDIC, Université Rennes1, Directrice de thèse : A COUVERT, ENSCR) – projet ECOV (2016-2019)

Ce projet propose la réutilisation d’huiles collectées par une entreprise de collecte et de recyclage d’huiles usagées. L’objectif étant de capter les COV émis sur leur site, tout en prévoyant leur valorisation concomitante.

Le but étant de transformer ce qui était jusqu’ici considéré comme un déchet en une ressource valorisable sur site et à moindre coût. Le projet ECOV s’inscrit dans un contexte de lutte contre la pollution atmosphérique et en particulier dans la limitation des rejets de COV et des molécules odorantes.

En plus des enjeux environnementaux, le projet présente des enjeux économiques liés à une baisse de l’investissement dans le procédé et une diminution du coût de fonctionnement grâce à une régénération de l’absorbant, rejoignant ainsi les grandes préoccupations du développement durable.
