Pharmaceutical industry

Pharmaceutical manufacturing involves chemical synthesis, mixing, extraction, and formulation, all of which generate significant water and air pollution due to solvent use, bioactive ingredients, and sterilization processes. Wastewater is produced from cleaning of reactors, floor washings, filtration systems, and reject streams, while air emissions result from drying, heating, and chemical handling

Wastewater from pharma units can have COD levels as high as 20,000 mg/L, BOD up to 8,000 mg/L, TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) exceeding 10,000 mg/L, and traces of antibiotics, hormones, solvents, and heavy metals like chromium and mercury. pH may vary widely. Air pollutants include Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), acid vapors, and toxic fumes from solvents and drug intermediates.

The recommended treatment scheme includes Electrocoagulation to destabilize and remove colloidal and metallic contaminants, followed by Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) such as ozone or Fenton’s reaction to degrade complex pharmaceutical residues. A Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) then ensures removal of biological load and suspended solids. For air treatment, acid gas scrubbers, activated carbon filters, and HEPA units help in removing VOCs, dust, and bioaerosols.
