ViewPoint, is a 30-year specialist in video image processing for medical and environmental research. In partnership with INRAE (French Research institute on Agronomy and Environment) ViewPoint has developed ToxMate, an innovative solution to detect harmful substances in water on site and in real time. ToxMate measures the real-time impact of the presence of chemical pollutants on living organisms.
Micropollutants are invisible, but it is has been proven that they can have consequences on our environment and on our human health. While physico-chemical sensors and analysis show their limits to identify the presence of micropollutants (punctual sampling, long analysis times, limitation of the number of targeted molecules, high costs etc …),  biomonitoring appears to be the best way to provide a rapid, reliable, global and continuous response to the detection of emerging contaminants of concern.
 
Implanted on site, ToxMate continuously analyses, by videotracking, the individual behaviour of 3 aquatic invertebrates species. The collected datas are instantly processed and analysed and an alert is triggered within minutes if a pollution is detected.
ToxMate detects chemical substances on raw, drinking or waste water , onsite and 24/7 .
The 3 species of aquatic invertebrates present in the station (gammarus, radix and leeches) react to a wide variety of toxic substances and are considered as the best bio-indicators of the level of water pollution.
Deployed in waste water plants; drinking water plants, alert stations or for reuse applications, ToxMate has already demonstrated it’s sensitivity not only to chemical molecules, but to cocktail and recombination effects as well.
 
ToxMate : a management tool for continuous control of your site
 
– Continuous monitoring of water flow
– Immediate detection at low concentrations  (μg/L to the order of one minute)
– Sensitivity to cocktail effects
– Alert triggered within minutes in case of micropollutants
– notification of plant managers in case of an alert, by sms or email
– Tracking available online via a secure access
– Data restated for immediate understanding
– Historization of data to better understand and manage, understand recurrence factors and classify different types of events.
– A complete support to optimize the contribution of ToxMate on your site.
 
Applications :
– Urban/Industrial wastewater plant upstream to characterize the quality of the incoming water and optimize the process. And/or downstream to detect toxicity risks before discharge into the natural environment.
– Drinking water plant at the end of the treatment to determine its performance, and upstream on incoming raw water.
– Alert station : for continuous analysis of surface waters in rivers, in the upstream of a water intake point.
– REUSE : for continuous analysis of treated waste water in view of their reuse for different purposes, such as agricultural irrigation, street cleaning etc …

For nearly 30 years, DAQUA has specialised in the design and manufacturing of filtration systems for public and industrial water treatment, offering its customers industrial expertise in composite and steel filters, pre-filters and HDPE tanks and equipment, as well as pumps.
Ten thousand filters have been manufactured in our factories and are in operation in installations as diverses as: public and municipal swimming pools, hotels, campsites, leisure parks, health establishments – balneotherapy, thalasso, thermal baths – and industrial installations – aquariums, aquaculture-fish farming, quarries, market gardening and irrigation, drinking water production, etc. – both in France and abroad. This gives DAQUA unrivalled feedback.
Drawing on this expertise, DAQUA offers products that meet the needs of its customers – operators, installers and distributors – and provides a responsive, high-quality maintenance service tailored to the constraints of their operations.
DAQUA listens to its customers and works with them to design and build sustainable installations that preserve the water cycle.

Independent engineering company specialized in the development of innovative robotic products, CT2MC‘s vocation, since its creation in 2012 by Olivier LE MEAUX, is the development and manufacturing of industrial products combining robotics, innovation, composite materials and automation.
 
To limit its impact on the environment, CT2MC strives to advance the state of manufacturing techniques and develops processes and products that are more environmentally friendly. The use of biosourced materials is part of one of these major axes, as is the choice to base production in France to limit consumption and the impact on resources.
CT2MC operates in different areas:
• The manufacturing of robots for pipe inspections especially in  sewerage water background,
• The development, prototyping and manufacturing of robots with composite material integration,
• The manufacturing of several ranges of aquatic drones carrying out environmental monitoring and analysis missions (available for sale or rental):
• The SPYBOAT® range: aerial propulsion drones
• The INN’EAU range: drones with thrust in the water, floats, etc.
• The CAN’EAU range: specific to inspections of confined spaces (pipes, tanks, etc.)
• The inspection services for surface water or confined spaces with the different products in the range.
 
Our innovation and Research and Development capabilities have been rewarded by several prizes from ADEME (French Ecological Transition Agency), such as recently our project to deploy our aquatic drones rewarded by the call for projects “Companies committed to the ecological transition”.
