Water treatment in the pharmaceutical industry: challenges and solutions
For the pharmaceutical and drug industries, the major environmental challenges are manifold: eco-design of products, close links between health and the environment, and drug residues in wastewater. With over 250 references in industrial water treatment, Ovive has been helping manufacturers manage their effluents since 1999. Our solutions and treatment systems are designed to meet the stringent requirements of this dynamic sector.
Guaranteeing the quality and compliance of pharmaceutical wastewater
Quality and compliance are crucial to the pharmaceutical industry. It guarantees environmental protection and public health, while contributing to economic performance and corporate image. Water treatment systems must be robust and reliable to ensure the high water quality essential to pharmaceutical production applications. The pharmaceutical industry is subject to strict regulations on wastewater quality and compliance.
These regulations are designed to protect the environment and public health.
Water safety and high water quality are essential to the production processes of the pharmaceutical and drug industries.
Pharmaceutical industrial water management must be based on robust, reliable solutions that ensure environmental and health compliance.
Our water treatment systems guarantee compliance with the most stringent regulatory requirements.
Treating effluents specific to the pharmaceutical industry
The loss of active ingredients during washing or production batch operations has a major financial impact on a production site. Recovery of these molecules can be achieved through wastewater treatment. In this constantly innovating sector, every stage in the manufacture of a drug substance is likely to generate polluted water. Our filtration and osmosis technologies are specially designed to eliminate contaminants specific to the pharmaceutical industry.
Organic synthesis of active ingredient precursors, microbiological cultures and industrial fermentation, extraction of plant and animal tissues, and various formulations (syrups, pastes, powders, capsules, granules, freeze-dried products) generate specific effluents.
These effluents have specific characteristics: active ingredients, micropollutants, dissolved pollution and organic pollution.
The management of industrial water in the pharmaceutical industry requires a solution that is specific to the production site, resilient and operational.
Our treatment systems reduce costs by recovering and reusing resources.

Reusing wastewater: towards a sustainable pharmaceutical industry
The pharmaceutical industry is increasingly committed to sustainable development. Wastewater treatment helps protect the environment from pollutants. In an effort to be more economical, manufacturers are striving to reduce their water consumption. The reuse of wastewater (REUT) makes it possible to reclaim water for other applications, such as irrigation, boiler or cooling water, dilution or cleaning, thus reducing water withdrawals. Our water purification and reuse technologies offer effective solutions for achieving these objectives.
Reusing water and reducing water withdrawals can generate significant savings for pharmaceutical companies and increase their resilience in the face of drought episodes.
Our filtration, osmosis and injection systems guarantee optimal water purification, meeting the most stringent quality requirements.
The management of industrial water in the pharmaceuticals sector includes an approach that reduces resources and costs, and enhances production resilience.
