PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURING

The wastewater generated in the pharmaceutical industry consists of high concentration of organic matter, microbial toxicants, high salt concentration and non-biodegradable compounds. Trace amounts of suspended solids and dissolved organic matter are not destroyed even after secondary treatment, so advanced treatment is important to improve the quality of wastewater generated in the pharmaceutical industry.

New treatment technologies can successfully remove various and challenging pollutants from wastewater. As the world grapples with shrinking water supplies, advanced treatment will become critical to recovering water resources for both potable and non-potable uses.
