Pharmaceutical wastewater treatment comparison of process scale‐up from bench to full‐scale: A case study

摘要

AbstractWastewater treatability investigations were conduction for a specialty batch pharmaceuticals production facility which typically produces small quantities of numerous chemicals and pharamaceuticals. Production campaigns typically range from two days to four weeks in duration. Due to these production changes, the organic loading and chemical makeup of the wastewater constantly varies, resulting in less than optimum treatment plant performance. In addition, the facility planned to increase production in the future, thereby increasing wastewater flow and organic load.
