About Mark

Doctoral Engineer (PhD) with over 10 years of experience in the development of complex industrial systems, I now specialize in water resilience and membrane separation.


I support local authorities, agricultural stakeholders, and industrial players (food processing, viticulture, processing plants) heavily impacted by prefectural water restriction orders (Alert to Crisis levels).

My unique selling proposition: I don't just bring theoretical expertise. > As the founder of the Purus solution, I am capable of conducting water audits and immediately intervening on your site with Purus GO, a cutting-edge "Plug & Play" mobile unit for tubular ultrafiltration.

This demonstrator allows you to test and validate the recycling of your effluents (WWTP or industrial discharge) into "Class A" water directly at your premises, with no infrastructure investment (zero CAPEX).

My areas of intervention:
  • Feasibility studies and water resilience audits (WATER REUSE).
  • Deployment of mobile emergency water treatment units (up to 400 m3/day).
  • Support on regulatory compliance (Decree of 2024-796, 2025-958, 2024-33 and the order of December 18, 2023).
