    EnviroChemie tackles combined pharma and biotech wastewater decontamination challenge

    Rossdorf, Germany: EnviroChemie has applied its world-leading expertise in effective water treatment solutions on behalf of a Southeast European biotech and pharma company that needs to purify its wastewater.

    EnviroChemie is planning, building, and commissioning an advanced water treatment plant that will remove all traces of drug active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from the company’s wastewater, making it safe for discharge back into the environment.

    API residue challenge

    Removing trace elements of active ingredients from drug production process water is one of the biggest challenges in modern industrial wastewater treatment. API residues pose a significant danger to humans, animals, and the environment but resist conventional water treatment methods, such as filtering.

    The new pharma water treatment plant employs a combination of technologies to remove all dangerous drug chemical and biologically active elements.

    End-to-end solution

    EnviroChemie Laboratory experts in Rossdorf first determined the optimal process combination for removing all active ingredients (APIs) from the wastewater. The system was then designed and built in close coordination with the customer. The wastewater is treated with an innovative combination of Biomar biological processes, Flomar dissolved air flotation, and chemical-physical treatment steps.

    The resulting plant was commissioned in October 2024 and can continuously process up to 46 cubic meters of wastewater per hour that can now be safely discharged back into the public sewerage system.

    The client company also uses EnviroChemie’s digital service platform WaterExpert™ to manage daily plant operations. WaterExpert™ records data and supports analysis, guides workflows and provides troubleshooting information. The EnviroChemie solution package also includes supply of water chemicals and spare parts, system upkeep, mechanical and electrical maintenance, and regular process and management by results (MBR) checks.
