Green development has become the general trend of the industry, and pharmaceutical companies are taking multiple measures to respond

Under the background that the country vigorously promotes green environmental protection and sustainable development, the construction of China's ecological civilization has entered a period of acceleration
.
It is worth noting that the pharmaceutical industry is a fine chemical industry, and it is also a highly polluting industry
.
Due to the large variety of pharmaceutical raw materials, large quantities, and complex ingredients, pharmaceutical companies are prone to produce a large amount of waste water, waste gas, and solid waste pollution during the production process
.
Therefore, in recent years, after the country has reported vigorously rectification of environmental issues, a large number of pharmaceutical companies have been required to restrict production or suspend production for rectification due to non-compliance with environmental protection standards
.
Pharmaceutical equipment (picture source: pharma.
cn) To a large extent, this has actually begun to affect the high-quality development of China's pharmaceutical equipment industry
.
It is understood that in order to take effective treatment and preventive measures against waste water, waste gas, waste residues, etc.
generated in the pharmaceutical process, a large number of pharmaceutical companies have already begun active actions
.
For example, Northeast Pharmaceutical is a domestic enterprise that implemented medical pollution control and comprehensive utilization earlier
.
It has been actively pursuing the path of green, smart and sustainable development, earnestly implementing national and local environmental protection laws and regulations, and continuously improving environmental protection hardware supporting facilities by introducing new environmental protection technologies and technologies
.
It is reported that in recent years, Northeast Pharmaceutical has invested more than 1 billion yuan in the construction of environmental protection projects by taking advantage of the overall relocation.
The application of a number of environmental protection technologies and the construction of environmental protection devices are at the forefront of the industry
.
Since the fourth quarter of last year, with the improvement of national pollution control standards, Northeast Pharmaceutical has invested 340 million yuan on the current environmental protection basis to carry out environmental protection improvement projects covering waste gas, wastewater and comprehensive utilization
.
In addition, Xinhua Pharmaceutical has also invested more than 20 million yuan to build a solid waste incineration energy project on its own
.
It is understood that the project is divided into processes such as feeding, secondary incineration, waste heat utilization, quenching and neutralization, and multi-stage dust removal.
The equipment has a high degree of automation, and the treated flue gas fully meets the relevant national emission standards.

.
From the above, in the context of the country vigorously rectifying environmental pollution and promoting the green development of the industry, pharmaceutical companies are paying more and more attention to environmental protection and pollution prevention and control, and they are also beginning to adopt measures such as wastewater, waste gas, and waste generated in the pharmaceutical process Effective governance and preventive measures, in addition to the direct construction of environmental protection treatment systems, it is worth mentioning that many pharmaceutical companies have chosen to accelerate the upgrade, replace more energy-saving and efficient, environmentally friendly pharmaceutical equipment to promote the "green" development of the pharmaceutical sector
.
The industry predicts that with the continuous deepening of environmental protection in the pharmaceutical industry, the energy-saving, environmentally friendly, cost-reducing and efficiency-increasing pharmaceutical equipment market will usher in a major explosion
.
The author has learned that, in fact, in order to better meet the needs of pharmaceutical companies for "green" development, pharmaceutical equipment companies as a key part of the pharmaceutical field have begun to accelerate the upgrading, innovation, and more energy-saving, efficient, and environmentally friendly pharmaceutical equipment.
To help the pharmaceutical industry achieve green development
.
For example, in order to treat wastewater polluted by the pharmaceutical industry, a company has developed a valve array multi-unit ion exchange system
.
Compared with the traditional equipment, the system can save 50% of energy consumption, and the discharge concentration is high
.
Some companies have proposed a "4+7" integrated water supply solution, which adopts a completely modular design and has made in-depth energy planning implants
.
Among them, the overall recovery rate of the purified water system can reach 92%, and the overall energy consumption is only 50% of the traditional multi-effect distilled water machine
.
In addition, it is also equipped with a waste heat recovery module and a concentrated water recovery module, which can better realize the recycling of energy
.
In addition, some companies have developed a new combined multi-effect distilled water machine that can provide sterile pharmacy, injection, large infusion, and biological pharmacy for the pharmaceutical industry
.
According to reports, this equipment can operate continuously for 240 days, saving 65% comprehensive energy in terms of water saving, industrial steam saving, and reduction of enterprise sewage pressure
.
It is worth mentioning that the technology adopted by this machine can save 21 million tons of standard coal and 340 million tons of drinking water every year.

.
In general, as the country continues to deepen environmental governance, the future environmental storm is expected to intensify in the pharmaceutical industry.
For relevant pharmaceutical companies, it is necessary to attach great importance to pollution problems, including increasing investment in pollution control and introducing environmental protection.
Only by eliminating high-energy-consuming equipment can the requirements of sustainable development be met
.
For pharmaceutical equipment companies, they need to keep a close eye on opportunities, increase investment in innovation, and continue to meet more needs of the company while achieving product upgrades
