Multiple Alternatives

 

The pharmaceutical industry requires several different kinds of high quality water for product manufacturing, including product addition and dilution and equipment wash down and rinsing.

  • In some cases, one ton of drug can requires 1 ton of water for product addition alone (eye drops).
  • Process water needs can represent up to 60% of the total cost of utilities.
  • 1 ton of active ingredient may require up to 800m3 of water for production and cleaning.

Furthermore, the pharmaceutical industry is facing more and more stringent regulations for their effluent waste water. These wastes are highly charged with TOC, COD, BOD, suspended matters or solvents.

  • 1 ton of active ingredient may generate up to 80 tons of potentially hazardous waste (solvents, BOD, endocrine disruptors...).
