How to reduce wastewater disposal costs in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry using EVALED® evaporators

Wastewater disposal is expensive, and it's not uncommon for valuable substances to be disposed of along with the wastewater. New vacuum evaporation technology can concentrate liquids to a dry matter content of up to 5%, effectively producing a solid. This reduces the amount of waste that needs to be disposed of, and in many cases, the distillate can be reused.

Robust and flexible wastewater treatment plants

Pharmaceutical and cosmetics manufacturing plants commonly produce a wide range of products. This creates a high degree of variability in wastewater composition and flow . Veolia Water Technologies, thanks to its experience in designing various system types, is able to meet these flexibility requirements to ensure continuous and reliable wastewater treatment:

    • Reduction of disposal costs.
    • Separation and potential recovery of by-products: APIs, disinfectants, proteins, glycols, etc.
    • Water recovery for plant needs. 
    • ZLD (Zero Liquid Discharge).

Vacuum evaporation technology - a great alternative: return on investment within a few months

Generally, the economic efficiency of a system depends on current disposal costs, which in some cases are subject to significant fluctuations and vary from region to region. Considering that management is often outsourced to external disposal companies, installing an evaporation system can significantly reduce management and disposal costs . 

For disposal costs of around €140/ton, the payback period is less than a year . With higher costs, the payback period decreases dramatically, so many systems pay for themselves within a few months.
