NXO ENGINEERING

The NXO Engineering company

NXO ENGINEERING is a start-up founded in 2016 by César NARVAEZ, Process Engineering Engineer, weaving roots in the Montpellier agglomeration (COURNONSEC). It is dedicated to the technical and commercial development of innovative and automated processes in the field of water. For each of our applications, our added value is based on the development of disruptive technologies as well as the improvement of standardized techniques in terms of efficiency and energy costs.

The NXO Engineering offer

The company specializes in water treatment and operates in different areas:

– Waste water management,

– Potabilization,

– Aquaculture (especially seaweed farming)

– Nxo’s strength today rests on a multidisciplinary team that combines its experience in the fields of hydraulics, mechatronics, electrical engineering, civil engineering and IT. Integrating these skills into the very heart of Nxo-Engineering allows us to be the go-to provider for reliable, compact and automated energy-efficient solutions.

– Our passion drives us to find new alternatives to face global challenges (global warming, circular economy and sustainable development) while innovating in the field of wastewater management and reuse. The implementation of our procedures is the result of our research and development and engineering activities.

– Aware of our role in improving the profitability of our customers, the Nxo team is committed to fulfilling their most ambitious objectives. For Nxo-Engineering, it is by targeting the impossible that companies and people surpass themselves.

– NXO now has an ambitious objective: the marketing of the first energy-positive carbon neutral wastewater treatment plant in France called VOLTA (Valorization of wastewater by light energy and micro-algal technologies).

-VOLTA, NXO patented technology and winner of the 2021 “I-NOV” competition sponsored by ADEME and BPI, relies on the tandem of micro-algae and bacteria to remedy carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus pollution. It is made up of photo bioreactors with very low power consumption.

NXO Engineering advantages

> NXO: scientific sharing

NXo has set up numerous partnerships with public operators (CNRS / IFREMER / INRA ..). This iterative approach aims on the one hand to arouse emulation around the micro algae theme linked to sanitation and on the other hand to give us the technical and institutional legitimacy essential for the recognition of VOLTA’s amenities.

This participatory research led to a first success. VOLTA is the winner of the national “I-NOV” competition sponsored by ADEME and BPI as part of the Future Investment Programs.

> Innovative technological choices for a major paradigm shift

The sanitation sector has been based on the same technological bricks since 1914. By making disruptive technological choices, in particular through the use of natural resources (phyto-bioreactors with microalgae, light energy) NXO proposes a major change of paradigm in the sector of sanitation.
