How to reduce wastewater disposal costs in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry using EVALED® Evaporators

Wastewater disposal is expensive, and it's not uncommon for valuable substances to be discarded along with the wastewater. The new vacuum evaporation technology can concentrate liquids to achieve a dry matter content of up to 5%, effectively producing a solid. This significantly reduces the volume 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 cosmetic production facilities typically manufacture a wide range of products. This results in a high degree of variability in the composition and flow of wastewater. Thanks to our expertise in designing various types of systems, Veolia is able to meet these flexibility requirements to ensure continuous and reliable wastewater treatment:

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

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

In general, the economic efficiency of a plant depends on current disposal costs, which in some cases fluctuate significantly and vary by region. Adding to this, the fact that disposal is often outsourced to external companies, installing an evaporation system can significantly reduce both operational and disposal costs.

For disposal costs around €140/ton, the return on investment is less than 1 year. With higher costs, the payback time drops significantly—many systems pay for themselves within just a few months.
