Center Enamel EPC Contractor provides Pharmaceutical Wastewater Treatment Technology to global customers
The pharmaceutical industry operates under the world's most exacting regulatory environment. Its wastewater is notoriously difficult to treat, characterized by high concentrations of highly toxic and non-biodegradable (refractory) organic compounds, concentrated solvents, variable acidity levels, and antibiotic residues. Effectively managing this effluent demands not only the most advanced Pharmaceutical Wastewater Treatment Technology but also a project delivery model that guarantees compliance, minimizes risk, and ensures operational certainty.

Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd (Center Enamel) is the specialized EPC Contractor trusted by global pharmaceutical manufacturers. We provide comprehensive, end-to-end solutions, managing the entire project lifecycle—from detailed process engineering and critical material procurement to guaranteed on-site construction and commissioning. Our single point of responsibility (SPOR) model is essential for navigating the high-stakes, high-complexity requirements of pharmaceutical wastewater treatment.
Our EPC advantage integrates superior containment—including the unmatched chemical resistance of Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks and the specialized application of Stainless Steel Tanks—with multi-stage advanced oxidation and biological processes. This ensures every Pharmaceutical Wastewater Treatment Technology solution is durable, high-performing, and rigorously compliant.
The EPC Contractor Mandate in Pharmaceutical Wastewater
For pharmaceutical companies, the stakes of wastewater compliance are existential. Any failure can lead to massive fines, facility shutdown, and profound reputational damage. This necessity elevates the role of the EPC Contractor from supplier to strategic risk partner.
1. Single Point of Responsibility (SPOR) for High-Stakes Projects
Guaranteed Compliance: As the single EPC Contractor, Center Enamel contractually guarantees that the final system will meet all specific discharge limits, which often involves the removal of trace active ingredients and refractory organics.
Risk and Cost Certainty: We provide a comprehensive, fixed-price contract, eliminating the risk of scope creep, inter-vendor disputes, and delays that are catastrophic in a regulated industry. This speed and certainty are vital for maintaining drug production schedules.
Integrated System Design: Our in-house engineers ensure all complex stages—from neutralization and biological detoxification to tertiary membrane filtration—are perfectly integrated, leveraging materials (like GFS) specifically chosen for their resistance to pharmaceutical chemicals.
2. Navigating Technological Complexity
Pharmaceutical Wastewater Treatment Technology requires a multi-barrier approach due to its toxicity and concentration. Our EPC expertise encompasses:
Pre-treatment Detoxification: Designing robust systems to manage shock loads of concentrated solvents or highly alkaline/acidic waste streams.
Advanced Biological Processes: Integrating specialized biological cultures that can withstand toxicity, often requiring precise control within durable containment.
Tertiary Polishing: Incorporating advanced oxidation and membrane technologies for the final removal of non-biodegradable compounds.
Tailored Containment: Center Enamel's Multi-Material Solution
The extremely corrosive nature of pharmaceutical waste necessitates a precise selection of containment materials. Center Enamel’s EPC delivery ensures the use of the optimal material for each hazardous process stage.
1. Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) for Corrosive and Biological Reactors
GFS tanks are the essential foundation for processes involving extreme chemical stress, high temperatures, or concentrated biological activity:
Pre-treatment and Neutralization: GFS provides the highest chemical resistance to the extreme acidity level fluctuations and concentrated chemical inputs used in detoxification stages, ensuring the structural integrity of the vessels over long operating periods.
Biological Reactors: Even after neutralization, pharmaceutical wastewater contains toxic compounds. GFS offers a smooth, chemically inert surface that supports sensitive biological biofilms while protecting the vessel from residual chemical attack and corrosion.
Sludge Digestion: For stabilizing sludge that may contain heavy metals or residual refractory organics, GFS provides the ultimate barrier against chemical leaching and internal corrosion.
2. Stainless Steel Tanks for High-Purity and Specific Chemical Storage
In pharmaceutical environments, Stainless Steel Tanks are often specified by our EPC Contractor team for their hygiene and specific chemical compatibility:
High-Purity Water Storage: For storing processed water used in cooling, boiler feed, or non-critical drug manufacturing processes, stainless steel ensures a hygienic, non-reactive environment.
Specific Chemical Storage: For storing certain chemical reagents or concentrated treatment solutions, stainless steel may be required to prevent contamination or specific reactions, complementing the broader GFS structures.
3. Epoxy Coated Steel Tanks for Supportive Infrastructure
For non-critical storage, utility water, or lower corrosion risk areas, Epoxy Coated Steel Tanks are utilized for their rapid construction and cost-effectiveness, optimizing the total project investment.
Advanced Applications for Process Safety and Resource Management
Center Enamel integrates advanced cover technologies and recovery components within our containment systems to maximize safety, minimize emissions, and optimize resource use, all under the EPC Contractor umbrella.
1. Emission Control and Water Protection with Aluminum Dome Roofs
In pharmaceutical settings, controlling volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and protecting treated water purity is mandatory.
VOC and Odor Containment: Aluminum Dome Roofs provide a secure, gas-tight cover over equalization basins or pre-treatment tanks, effectively sealing in hazardous or odorous vapors for controlled venting or scrubbing, protecting site workers and the surrounding environment.
Clean Water Integrity: For storage tanks holding recycled process water or clean effluent, the aluminum roof acts as an essential barrier against airborne contamination, preserving the high purity required for reuse within the regulated facility.
Durability and Maintenance: Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum, these roofs are maintenance-free, a key factor in regulated and high-utilization pharmaceutical sites.
2. Biogas and High-Organic Waste Management
Where pharmaceutical production waste includes high-strength organic solvents or fermentation residues, anaerobic digestion is utilized for detoxification and energy recovery.
Secure Gas Containment: The Double Membrane Roof is seamlessly integrated atop GFS digesters. It provides a flexible, gas-tight volume for the safe storage of biogas, transforming organic waste into a supplementary energy source while ensuring hazardous gases are contained.
Detoxification: Anaerobic treatment serves a dual purpose, reducing the high organic load while often initiating the breakdown of complex solvent structures.
3. Advanced Oxidation and Polishing
Our EPC designs prioritize the final polishing stages to eliminate refractory organics and antibiotic residues. This often involves:
Membrane Bioreactors (MBR): Contained within GFS tanks, MBRs achieve high effluent quality, preparing the stream for subsequent tertiary treatment.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Advanced Oxidation: These physical-chemical processes are integrated to ensure the final effluent meets global benchmarks for toxicity and trace compound removal.
