Pharmaceutical Industry
The pharmaceutical industry produces a large amount of wastewater during drug manufacturing, chemical synthesis, and fermentation. This wastewater contains organic compounds, high TDS, solvents, and pharmaceutical residues, making treatment a big challenge. SEDL offers a simple and effective solution with our MVR-based Low-Temperature Evaporation (LTE) system. Our technology provides a direct, chemical-free process that recovers clean water with low TDS. With a compact, automated, and energy-efficient design, we help pharmaceutical industries achieve Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) while reducing environmental impact and meeting regulations.
Effluent Generation in the Pharmaceutical Industry & Its Challenges
Pharmaceutical plants generate wastewater at different stages of production. Some common challenges include
High Organic Content
Wastewater contains pharmaceutical residues, solvents, and chemicals that can harm water bodies if untreated.
Complex Chemical Composition
Antibiotics, hormones, and other substances make conventional treatment difficult.
High TDS and COD Levels
The presence of dissolved solids and organic matter makes disposal challenging.
Toxicity & Antibiotic Resistance
If discharged untreated, wastewater can harm aquatic life and lead to antibiotic resistance.
Strict Regulations
Industries must follow strict environmental laws, making ZLD an important solution.
