2021 predictions: Pharma Effluent Treatment

Pharmaceutical wastewater treatment expert WEHRLE from Germany predicts a good year 2021 for its business: “In the past years we have shown how effectively and reliably wastewater from drugs production can be treated – with compact treatment plants that eliminate and adsorb Trace Organic Contaminants respectively Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients efficiently at low operation costs. At the moment we see three development vectors that influencing our business of effluent treatment in the pharma industry:

Treatment of liquid manure and digestate

With the change of the fertilizer regulation, the spreading and use of agricultural fertilizers is further limited. Farmers and biogas plant operators are often left with only costly temporary storage and expensive external disposal since the processes currently available on the market do not meet the requirements and involve high operating costs.

Pioneering intelligent technologies for wastewater treatment

Environmentalists have been crying hoarse for long over the potential risks of pharmaceutical pollution. With water playing an integral part in the pharmaceutical manufacturing lifecycle, active pharmaceutical ingredients in wastewater, when discharged to the environment, may lead to the creation of multi-resistant germs in rivers and lakes. Treating pharmaceutical wastewater proves to be a challenge, and pharma producers are under the radar to contribute to improved water stewardship and take concrete measures to eliminate contaminants from their production wastewater. Against this backdrop, the German-based WEHRLE-WERK, with profound expertise in treating complex wastewater from the production of pharmaceutical drugs, can help pharmaceutical companies achieve this reliably and cost-effectively.

Conversion of an SBR into an MBR

In some cases, the installed SBR process does not suffice to achieve the required treatment objectives. There is a variety of possible reasons: changes in the characteristics of the actual wastewater compared to the ones considered in the design (concentrations, flow rate), modification of the discharge requirements, incorrect process design, etc.

New purification system for existing leachate treatment plant in England

Make new from old – WEHRLE integrates a new leachate treatment plant in an existing system with beneficial advantages for the operator.

The landfill of Marston Vale, a small town near Bedford, treats approximately 450 m³ of leachate per day, consisting of the leachate produced on the landfill itself as well as on many other landfills, disposed of by tankers every day.

Elimination of pesticides from wastewater

Pesticides have - naturally - a direct impact on ecosystems. This impact is increasingly considered as a critical factor in many countries, because pesticides act not very specific and are often persistent. Moreover, they are transferred from agricultural areas by the water path to other natural areas, where they continue having an impact. Increasingly, pesticides are also found in drinking water and pose a health risk for the general public.
