Water treatment for Pharma and personal care industries

Your challenges

From start to finish, we have sustainable and innovative water solutions to all your challenges.

Reducing water intake / safe ingredient water: zero consumer health impact

Pharma and cosmetics manufacturers must ensure the highest water purity standards, as water is often a direct ingredient. Any contamination risk can compromise product quality and consumer safety. Simultaneously, reducing water withdrawal from sensitive sources supports sustainability and business continuity.

Reducing discharge cost / meet upcoming regulations

Wastewater from these industries may contain complex organics, solvents, or micro-contaminants. Without proper treatment, discharge fees can be substantial—or regulations may soon require advanced treatment systems, forcing costly upgrades or plant modifications.

Reducing water cost and focus on water stewardship to meet sustainability goals

With rising water tariffs and increasing pressure to demonstrate environmental responsibility, companies face the challenge of reducing water use. Reuse of process water for cleaning, utilities, or even ingredient-grade applications can significantly cut costs and improve ESG performance.

Missed opportunities to get more value out of your wastewater

Pharmaceutical and cosmetic production generates wastewater that can still hold residual energy or valuable compounds. Technologies for heat recovery, biogas generation, or extraction of organics can transform this waste stream into a source of added value, supporting circular economy ambitions

How can the Saur group, together with its entity Nijhuis Saur Industries, meet your needs?

We have decades of experience in meeting USP, PhEur, JP and other global pharmacopeia regulatory requirements for Water for Injection (WFI) applications. We’re also experts with equipment to produce Purified Water (PW) for non-compendial applications.

Our expertise in wastewater come from our extensive list of global installations that are delivering consistent results.
