Wastewater treatment in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical industries
The pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries have the highest standards for product safety and hygiene—and equally strict regulations for the treatment of wastewater generated in these processes. Cleaning processes after the manufacture of medicines, active ingredients, or care products in particular produce wastewater that contains residues of critical substances and must not be discharged directly into the sewage system.
With our atmospheric evaporators , we offer a safe and efficient solution for treating this process water , designed to meet the requirements of sensitive industrial sectors and regulatory discharge limits.
