Revolutionising pharmaceutical water management with mobile water services

In today’s fast-paced pharmaceutical industry, ensuring a steady supply of high-quality water and steam is essential for product quality, regulatory compliance, and smooth operations. Just as important is the management of pharmaceutical wastewater—removing Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and treating or recovering hydrocarbon solvents. Unplanned challenges, changing regulations, and shifting production needs can easily disrupt these critical processes. That’s why Veolia’s innovative mobile water services deliver flexible, reliable solutions for the industry’s biggest water management needs—from purified water production to advanced wastewater treatment and solvent recovery.

Addressing key pharmaceutical water challenges

Pharmaceutical manufacturers face a myriad of water-related challenges. These include:

• Ensuring consistent supply of purified water and water for injection (WFI)
• Maintaining reliable apyrogenic pure steam generation
• Effectively removing APIs from wastewater
• Managing and recovering hydrocarbon solvents
• Adapting to fluctuating production demands and regulatory changes

Our mobile water services is designed to address these challenges head-on, providing rapid, flexible, and compliant solutions that keep pharmaceutical operations running smoothly.

Real-world impact

The power of Veolia's mobile water services has been demonstrated in real-world scenarios across the pharmaceutical industry. For instance, a leading global healthcare company specialising in surgical vision products recently faced a significant challenge during the planned revamp of its existing purified water plant.

To ensure uninterrupted production during this critical upgrade, the company turned to Veolia Water Technologies for a comprehensive solution. This included not only the supply, installation, commissioning, and validation of a new permanent Orion 4000 E system but also a mobile water solution to bridge the gap during the transition.

Veolia's response showcased the flexibility and reliability of our mobile water services: a mobile Orion 6000 E unit was deployed to produce purified water over a 10-week period. This mobile solution ensured continuous production, preventing any losses due to water supply interruptions.
This case demonstrates how Veolia's mobile water services can seamlessly integrate with long-term water management solutions, providing pharmaceutical manufacturers with the flexibility to upgrade their facilities without compromising production continuity or water quality.

By offering both immediate, temporary solutions and long-term, permanent installations, Veolia ensures that pharmaceutical companies can maintain their critical operations while also planning for future needs and regulatory requirements.

Conclusion

In an industry where quality and consistency are paramount, Veolia's mobile water services offer a game-changing approach to pharmaceutical water management. By providing flexible, reliable, and compliant solutions, we enable pharmaceutical manufacturers to focus on what they do best – developing and producing life-saving medications – while we ensure their pure fluids and wastewater needs are met with the highest standards of quality and efficiency.
