Pharmaceutical manufacturing requires highly reliable, high-capacity water treatment infrastructure to support critical production demands, maintain product quality, and ensure strict regulatory compliance.

Discover how Veolia supported a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer with a modern, high-recovery water purification solution designed to support production growth with zero disruption to live operations.

Key Manufacturing Challenges

The client required a complete replacement of their ageing, undersised water treatment infrastructure with modern, higher-capacity technology while maintaining continuous operations.

Key requirements included:

  • Production Growth Support: Replace ageing, undersized equipment with modern, higher-capacity technology to support planned production growth.
  • Tight Shutdown Window: Complete decommissioning, installation, commissioning, and qualification within a tight 2-week summer shutdown window.
  • Zero Disruption: Ensure absolutely zero disruption to live pharmaceutical manufacturing operations during the transition.
  • Environmental Compliance: Meet tight wastewater discharge limits with sustainable, high-recovery, and zero-discharge capabilities.
  • Compendial Standards: Meet the stringent quality demands of a full compendial water system.

Veolia Solutions

Veolia designed and implemented a full offsite-built skidded system comprising a pretreatment skid and a Terion RO CEDI skid to minimise onsite installation time. The high-recovery, zero-discharge system delivers sustainable performance, while a comprehensive 5-year service contract with 24/7 availability and onsite certified engineers ensures long-term operational reliability.
