Ecology is at the heart of our concerns. We have put in place an HR policy that encourages environmentally-friendly working practices, such as telecommuting to reduce travel, the use of green technologies (EKIP meal vouchers), 70% reimbursement of transport costs and ecological awareness programs. Every employee is invited to contribute, in whatever way they can, to our sustainable development mission through internal initiatives and ecological projects.

Centralized water management, introduced in the 19th century, helped to reduce water-borne diseases and achieve economies of scale in the distribution of drinking water. Today, this model is showing its limitations, as it is based on the idea that freshwater is an inexhaustible resource.

Yet the quantity of freshwater available is diminishing, water quality is deteriorating, and consumption continues to rise. What's more, this model fails to differentiate between waters and uses, and consequently leads to costly and ineffective treatment (currently 3 billion euros a year to maintain infrastructures in France).

Rethinking water management is now essential. Thanks to its new approach, InovaYa has chosen to enable decentralized, local management of your water treatment to meet current and future water challenges. It makes it possible to :

- Target a specific water problem and provide a specific treatment without impacting the entire circuit (our units adapt to existing systems and can be used to complement existing treatment plants).

- Avoid the need for kilometers of piping in isolated or remote areas, requiring connection work or network maintenance.

In short, InovaYa stands out for its :

- A comprehensive, tailor-made offer that combines the expertise of a design office with the reliability of a French water treatment unit supplier, to support you from A to Z in your project. This integrated approach guarantees consistency and optimum efficiency throughout the process, from unit design to installation.

A treatment unit is a unit designed to purify, filter, or treat water to specific standards, of a certain quality for a certain use.

A safety unit is a treatment unit that ensures that the water at the point of use is of good quality and safe to health, whether for drinking, hygiene or other essential needs. For example, it is particularly advisable to ensure water safety for fragile populations (infants, hospitalized people, the elderly, etc.) who are more vulnerable to water-borne infections and diseases.

To ensure water safety, InovaYa has developed water safety units that treat water degraded by continuous or occasional external contamination. These units act as a barrier against 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.99% of viruses, organic micropollutants (endocrine disruptors, pesticides, herbicides, drugs, etc.) and dissolved metals.

A pilot unit is used to test and validate a technology on a small scale before deployment. Installed directly on your premises, it enables you to simulate real operating conditions and optimize treatment parameters before industrial development. It is used when you have a specific water problem requiring a tailor-made treatment system to be tested beforehand.

Yes, InovaYa can help and advise you in your search for financing solutions and aid for the purchase of treatment units for your project.

To ensure the regulatory compliance of our treatment units, InovaYa is supported by a Lyon-based law firm specializing in environmental law, which provides a regulatory watch and legal briefs when required.

No, InovaYa specializes in the potabilization of fresh water.

Making water "safe" means guaranteeing that the water at the point of use is of good quality and safe for health, whether for consumption, hygiene or other essential needs. For example, it is particularly advisable to make water safe for fragile populations (infants, hospitalized people, the elderly, etc.) who are more vulnerable to water-borne infections and diseases.

To ensure water safety, InovaYa has developed water safety units to treat network water degraded by continuous or occasional external contamination. These units act as a barrier against 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.99% of viruses, organic micropollutants (endocrine disruptors, pesticides, herbicides) and dissolved metals.

The quality of mains water can deteriorate during transport from the treatment plant to the end consumer.

There are many causes for this: ageing pipes, leaks leading to post-treatment water contamination (e.g. chlordecone), flooding, natural disasters, etc.

The need for remineralization depends on the quality of the raw water prior to treatment. Thanks to ultrafiltration, our water treatment units preserve the minerals naturally present in water and essential to good health.

On the other hand, if the raw water is poorly mineralized, we can add a remineralization module to our units to improve water quality and provide more essential nutrients.

A treatment unit is a system designed to purify, filter or treat water to specific standards, of a certain quality for a certain use. For example, these units can be used to produce drinking water (unYo), treat wastewater or meet specific industrial needs.

If you have a specific water problem requiring a tailor-made treatment system to be tested beforehand, we can test and validate a technology on a small scale before deploying it witha pilot unit. Installed directly on your premises, it enables you to simulate real operating conditions and optimize treatment parameters before industrial development.

For further information and personalized support, please contact our team by telephone or fill in the form on our contact page to be contacted.

The duration of the test can vary from several weeks to several months, depending on the specifics of your project, its constraints and the objectives to be achieved. During the audit phase, InovaYa's engineering department will provide you with a provisional schedule.

Tests carried out with a pilot unit can provide concrete proof of the proper operation and compliance of your water.

For example, pilot tests are highly recommended when applying for prefectoral authorization (this is particularly the case for projects involving the reuse of water in industry and buildings).

Here are just a few examples of how a pilot unit can be set up:

- Industrial water reuse

- Potabilization of turbid river water

- Treatment of specific pollution

- Etc...

A pilot unit is used to test and validate a technology on a small scale before its deployment. Installed directly on your site, it enables you to simulate real-life operating conditions and optimize treatment parameters prior to industrial development. It is used when you have a specific water problem requiring a tailor-made treatment system to be tested beforehand.

Once industrialized, it becomes a treatment unit. This is the term used to describe a unit designed to purify, filter or treat water to specific standards, of a certain quality for a certain use.

The unYo® uses advanced ultrafiltration technologies that kill 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.99% of viruses, while preserving natural minerals essential to health and eliminating organic micropollutants such as pesticides and endocrine disruptors (including PFAS). How does it work? Thanks to an ingenious combination of the following technological building blocks:

- A series of media (such as activated carbon, which removes micropollutants, and activated glass, which eliminates suspended solids)

- Followed by mechanical filtration of ultrafiltration membranes at the end of the process to limit bacterial growth.

- Reinforced by low-level chlorination at 0.1 mg in a tank to secure water storage and prevent bacterial growth

Combined with an automated backwashing system to ensure the unit's durability and performance (patented system).

The prerequisites for installing a mobile potabilization unit like the unYo® are as follows:

- Provide an area of around 20m² accessible by truck (or helicopter, plane, barge or pirogue if the unYo® is a non-containerized modular skid).

- A flat, sturdy surface capable of supporting its weight in water (e.g. concrete slab or pad).

- A hydraulic and electrical connection system

- Be close to a source of fresh water, with or without storage

Yes, the unYo® has been developed to meet the need for access to drinking water in isolated areas or in emergency situations. Its containerized form makes it easy to transport and move around.

Filter end-of-life treatment is managed either by a recycling or regeneration process set up by the manufacturer (e.g. activated carbon), or by the collection and treatment of used filters by a specialist company.

Did you know? In most cases, it's chlorine that gives water its taste. Chlorine is a molecule used in water treatment plants to prevent the growth of bacteria during transport to the point of use. aYa does not use chlorine, but attenuates the taste of chlorine without eliminating it, in order to maintain its sanitary properties.

The prerequisites for installing an aYa are as follows:

• Provide a space of about 1m².
• Be close to an electrical outlet
• Have a connection to the drinking water network (EDCH) and a discharge.
• Maintain a minimum pressure of 2 bar

On the other hand, if the raw water is poorly mineralized, we can add a remineralization module to our units to improve water quality and provide more essential nutrients.

Vegetable activated carbon is extracted from coconut shells and mainly adsorbs organic micropollutants such as pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, medicines, endocrine disruptors (including PAFS, estrogens, etc.) and also removes chlorine from water. While mineral activated carbon will also adsorb some organic micropollutants, it specifically targets chlordecone.

The prerequisites for installing a recYf ® are as follows:

• Space required ranges from 3 to 10m² (depending on the shape chosen: skid-mounted, 10-foot container, etc.).
• Be close to an electrical outlet
• Have a connection to the drinking water network (EDCH: Eaux Destinées à la Consommation Humaine - water intended for human consumption) and a discharge system
• Maintain a minimum pressure of 2 bar
