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.  ### Fill out the form to be contacted by one of our experts ![02\_evaporation-evaled-rv-f-veolia\_](https://info.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/VWT%20ITALY/Landing%20page%20images%20VWT%20Italy/02_evaporation-evaled-rv-f-veolia_.png?width=591&height=326&name=02_evaporation-evaled-rv-f-veolia_.png) ## Discover the Best Option for Your Pharmaceutical Production Facility EVALED vacuum evaporators are **low-energy**, **low-environmental-impact** systems for the treatment of industrial wastewater, with capacities ranging **from 0.1 to 120 tons/day** per unit. They can help **reduce wastewater disposal costs**.

This results in **a high degree of variability in the composition and flow of wastewater**. Thanks to its expertise in designing various types of systems, Veolia Water Technologies 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)   ![EVALED\_Evaporator\_PC\_F\_4-6\_noSq6](https://info.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/EVALED_Evaporator_PC_F_4-6_noSq6.jpg?width=3000&height=1996&name=EVALED_Evaporator_PC_F_4-6_noSq6.jpg)   [CONTACT AN EXPERT](https://info.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/reduction-of-disposal-costs-in-the-pharmaceutical-industry#form-header) ### Vacuum Evaporators for Wastewater from the Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Industries: 6 Key Factors ![03\_Blue - Piping - C](https://info.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/VWT%20ITALY/Landing%20page%20images%20VWT%20Italy/03_Blue%20-%20Piping%20-%20C.png?width=180&height=180&name=03_Blue%20-%20Piping%20-%20C.png) #### Up to 95% reduction in wastewater volume ![04\_Green - Purchasing power - C](https://info.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/VWT%20ITALY/Landing%20page%20images%20VWT%20Italy/04_Green%20-%20Purchasing%20power%20-%20C.png?width=180&height=180&name=04_Green%20-%20Purchasing%20power%20-%20C.png) #### Return on investment within a few months, depending on effluent volume and disposal costs ![05\_Coral - Water recovery - C](https://info.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/VWT%20ITALY/Landing%20page%20images%20VWT%20Italy/05_Coral%20-%20Water%20recovery%20-%20C.png?width=180&height=180&name=05_Coral%20-%20Water%20recovery%20-%20C.png) #### Reuse of the distillate ![06\_Orange - Meter - C\_0](https://info.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/VWT%20ITALY/Landing%20page%20images%20VWT%20Italy/06_Orange%20-%20Meter%20-%20C_0.png?width=180&height=180&name=06_Orange%20-%20Meter%20-%20C_0.png) #### High concentration rate with excellent energy efficiency ![07\_Purple - Ambient Temperature - C\_0](https://info.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/VWT%20ITALY/Landing%20page%20images%20VWT%20Italy/07_Purple%20-%20Ambient%20Temperature%20-%20C_0.png?width=180&height=180&name=07_Purple%20-%20Ambient%20Temperature%20-%20C_0.png) #### Low-temperature evaporation to prevent degradation of organic compounds and avoid corrosion ![08\_Grey - Industrial Sites - C](https://info.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/VWT%20ITALY/Landing%20page%20images%20VWT%20Italy/08_Grey%20-%20Industrial%20Sites%20-%20C.png?width=180&height=180&name=08_Grey%20-%20Industrial%20Sites%20-%20C.png) #### Easy integration into existing processes ## 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.
