Clément Roche

Title: Clément Roche: Inventor in Biological Wastewater Treatment

Introduction

Clément Roche is an inventor associated with Saint-André-en-Vivarais, France. His patent work addresses biomass densification in the biological treatment of raw influent, with a focus on controlling the microbiome and promoting dense biomass aggregates.

Latest Patents

Roche is associated with 1 patent: “Method and Installation for Controlled Microbiome Shift for Biomass Densification in a Biological Treatment of a Raw Influent.” The invention describes a treatment process that uses suspended biomass and activated sludge, separates the sludge to produce effluent and return activated sludge, and extracts waste activated sludge from selected streams. It also applies density-based selection to generate dense biomass aggregates, such as aerobic granular sludge or biofilm. These aggregates are produced or sustained using at least part of the raw influent and returned to the biological treatment process, resulting in densified biomass.

Career Highlights

The supplied career information lists Suez International and Newport Corporation among the companies Roche worked with. His patent reflects an interest in biological treatment processes and methods for improving biomass density.

Collaborations

Roche’s listed coworkers include Sylvain Donnaz and Sudhir N. Murthy. The patent’s described approach combines biological treatment, sludge separation, density-based selection, and the generation or reuse of dense biomass aggregates.

Conclusion

Clément Roche’s patent focuses on controlled biomass densification as a way to advance biological treatment of raw influent.
