The Enerplage® process
The Enerplage process is an optimization of the Ecoplage® drainage technology, which allows sea water valuation.
Indeed, the sea water coming from the drains is perfectly filtered by the sand and can be used for:
- Supplying swimming pools or water basins
- Reoxygenation of eutrophised lagoons or swamps
- Thalassotherapy
- Fish farming or shellfish aquaculture
- Production of fresh water or drinkable water
- Production of heat and/or cold
The Enerplage® system was tested in 2013 on the beach of St Gilles Croix-de-Vie (85).
Then, the following systems have been using seawater from drainage :
- At Boulogne sur Mer (62), the drained water feeds the basins of the central Nausicaa Sea...
- At La Baule-Escoublac (44), the drained water is used to supply the basins and the heat pump of the Aquabaule auqatique centre.
- At St Jean-de-Luz (64), the drained water will feed the thalassotherapy and heat pumps
The Enerplage® system was experimented on St Gilles Croix-de-Vie beach in 2013.
