Our mobile solutions for hydrocarbon solvent treatment and recovery

Macro Porous Polymer Extraction/Sorption or MPPE/S technology offers an innovative and comprehensive solution for treating and recovering hydrocarbon solvents from pharmaceutical wastewater streams, addressing the complex needs of modern drug manufacturing facilities.

This highly efficient process can remove a wide range of solvents, including non-polar types like toluene and chlorinated solvents, with remarkable removal efficiencies of up to 99,99%. Such high performance ensures that even trace amounts of solvents can be effectively eliminated, meeting the most stringent regulatory requirements and environmental standards.

The MPPE/S system's versatility in handling diverse solvents makes it particularly valuable for pharmaceutical manufacturers dealing with multiple product lines or varying production processes. Whether it's batch production of different drugs or continuous manufacturing processes, MPPE can adapt to changing wastewater compositions, providing consistent performance across different operational scenarios.

Moreover, the technology not only ensures compliance with stringent environmental regulations but also enables solvent recovery. This dual functionality potentially transforms a waste management challenge into a resource recovery opportunity, aligning with circular economy principles and potentially offering cost savings through solvent reuse or resale.
With its compact design and small footprint, the MPPE system can be easily integrated into existing pharmaceutical facilities, minimizing disruption to ongoing operations. Its low energy consumption, particularly when compared to traditional steam stripping methods, contributes to reduced operational costs and a lower carbon footprint.
