The pharmaceutical facility in Eberbach, Germany, is a large softgel development and manufacturing facility with a capacity of 12.8 billion capsules per year. The system handles highly potent hormonal and cytotoxic compounds from multiple formulations from 9 different production lines, comprising up to 177 different APIs, as well as their in-house Research and Development department [ 1 ]. Since many active pharmacological ingredients can be harmful to humans and the aquatic environment, even at very low levels, proper technology has to be applied in order fulfill all current regulations and standards (e.g., biodegradability of at least 60 %). Formerly, wastewater resulting from ...
