ETP For Biomedical/Pharmaceutical Waste Industries
In pharmaceutical and biomedical manufacturing, water is a critical resource utilized extensively at multiple stages of production. As a result, the generated wastewater and effluent are not only abundant but also hazardous, containing a complex mix of organic compounds, chemicals, solids, and biological contaminants. Proper treatment is essential before discharging into the environment.
At Hydro Water Industries, we provide cutting-edge Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) tailored for pharmaceutical and biomedical waste industries. Our solutions are designed to ensure compliance with the latest CPCB/PCB regulations while delivering high-performance, energy-efficient, and cost-effective treatment systems.
Why Choose ETPs for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Industries?
Effluent generated in these sectors often contains:
High COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand)
Sulphates and phosphates
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) and TSS (Total Suspended Solids)
Residual antibiotics, hormones, solvents, and pathogens
Oils, greases, and potentially hazardous organics
Conventional treatment methods often fail to meet the required discharge norms for these complex effluents. That’s where Hydro Water Industries’ ETP solutions come in – engineered with a focus on safety, sustainability, and scalability.
Wastewater Characteristics – Before and After Treatment
| SN | Parameter | Before Treatment | After Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Temperature | 25°C – 35°C | ≤ 5°C above ambient |
| 2 | Colour | Light yellowish | Colourless |
| 3 | Odour | Present (mild) | None |
| 4 | pH | Variable | 6.5 to 8 |
| 5 | TSS | Present | Within prescribed limits |
| 6 | Oil and Grease | Present | Removed |
| 7 | BOD | Present | Reduced as per PCB norms |
| 8 | COD | Present | ≤ 150 mg/l |
Note: As BOD is distributed evenly in daily discharge, separate BOD removal is typically not required.
ETP Treatment Flow Process
Preliminary Treatment & Equalization
Wastewater from all departments is collected and homogenized in an underground equalization tank
Bar screen removes larger solids
Oil and grease trap eliminates floating contaminants
Air agitation ensures uniform mixing
Chemical Treatment & Coagulation
Effluent is transferred to a flash mixer where coagulants are dosed
Dosing is automated via precision dosing pumps
Air agitation in dosing tanks enhances mixing efficiency
Coagulated water flows into a clari-flocculator
Clarification & Sludge Separation
Flocculants promote settling of impurities into sludge
Tube settler with inclined PVC TubePac media ensures high-efficiency solid-liquid separation
Sludge is directed to sludge drying beds or a filter press
Dewatered sludge cakes are sent to PCB-approved disposal sites
Filtration and Disinfection
Treated water is stored in a treated water holding tank (TWHT)
Water passes through a Dual Media Filter (DMF) to remove TSS
Further treated in Activated Carbon Filter (ACF) to eliminate color, odor, and organic traces
Optional chlorine dosing for microbial safety
Reuse or Disposal
Treated water can be reused in non-critical operations or discharged for horticultural applications
