Novel approaches and solutions to key wastewater issues affecting the pharmaceutical industry
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in pharmaceutical wastes can have harmful effects on human health and aquatic life. Endocrine disrupters from medicines have been detected in drinking water and surface water, adversely affecting water quality.
With tightening requirements from the Water Framework Directive, the Environment Agency, and other bodies - companies need to address and adhere to guidelines on their water usage and disposal. This webinar will discuss regulatory considerations, the most effective and environmentally friendly ways to decontaminate wastewater, and how you can ensure your wastewater meets GMP requirements in order to be reused or released into the environment.
If you are dealing with toxic contaminants in medical waste or need to reach No Observed Effect Levels (NOELs) in medical wastewater, Arvia's Organics Destruction Cell (ODC) technology should be considered as a cost-effective viable solution, as it offers a significantly lower operating cost to current market alternatives. The benefits of utilising Arvia's new technology which provides the first in situ combination of adsorption and advanced oxidation techniques (bringing in the benefits of both methods) will be explained. Founding Director Dr Nigel Brown will reveal the latest case studies to show how Arvia Technology destroys difficult chemicals and pollutants such as triclosan, metaldehyde and steroids found in pharmaceutical and other waste.
Areas where Arvia's technology can be deployed include end of pipe, cleaning in process, raw water and water re-use. The technology is also highly effective in dealing with specific pollutants and stable or hard-to-treat contaminants, even at trace ppb (parts per billion) levels.
Find out everything you need to know about this new development in waste water treatment technology.
