Safely removing medicine residues from wastewater

Solution

First, EnviroChemie’s experts took to their own laboratory to determine the optimum combination of processes for removing the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from the wastewater. A combination of the Biomar® OMB membrane biological process, Flomar® pressure release flotation and physicochemical procedures is used to treat the wastewater.

EnviroChemie worked in close coordination with the customer to design and build the system, which achieves an output of 46 m³/h.

The new wastewater treatment plant has been in operation since October 2024. Thanks to the innovative solution that has been installed here, the treated water can be safely discharged into the public wastewater system.

To operate the plant, the company purchases water treatment products from EnviroChemie that are perfectly tailored to the wastewater treatment process.

Benefits

With the new treatment system, medicine residues are reliably removed from the wastewater, which can then be discharged into the public sewer system. The fully automated and visualised system is easy to use.
