Location: Al-Hayat Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Company, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Background: Al-Hayat Pharmaceutical is an old manufacturing facility that was built in 1972. This company produces the following range of products: Antibiotics: (syrup & tablet) including Ciprofloxacin (broad-spectrum) Clindamycin (gram-positive) Ampicillin (broad spectrum) Anti-diarrheal product (syrup) a ...
Biomedical liquid waste originating from healthcare facilities, laboratories, and research centers often contains infectious materials that, when discharged without proper treatment, can contribute to the spread of communicable diseases through public sewers. These diseases can affect individuals coming into contact with contaminated water sources ...
Antimicrobial photodynamic treatment (aPDT) may be an alternative to tackle the issue of antimicrobial resistance spread. ...
Hotels and resorts can overcome the challenge of limited fresh water and meet their water needs with desalination and water reuse One of the biggest challenges that hotels and resorts in the Caribbean face is meeting the growing demand for a limited supply of fresh water. Keeping resorts and their guests happy - and their businesses sustainable - will require a creative effort to use water more ...
Of the existing wastewater purification methods, biological purification is often the lowest cost and most feasible. The metabolic process of microorganisms can use certain organic substances in wastewater as a required source of nutrition. Therefore, the use of enzymes in microorganisms can transform organic substances in wastewater into usable ...
Removal of active pharmaceutical ingredients is a key function of an industrial wastewater treatment facility in order to avoid the discharge of these materials into the environment. ...

Wastewater & COVID-19 Connections When the word wastewater crosses your mind, there is probably also a memory of your Mom’s voice telling you – wash your hands! When humans transitioned into community living, keeping your living space separate from your bathroom space was an important rule to learn. We can thank early scientists who were curious about how diseases spread and ...
Among its many applications and due to its strong oxidizing character, it stands out especially for being a compound widely used in water purification in WWTPs (wastewater treatment plants) and as a disinfectant in other applications. ...
Enzyme engineering is a scientific technology that puts enzymes or microbial cells, animal and plant cells, organelles, etc. in a certain biological reaction device, and then use the biocatalytic function of the enzyme to transform the corresponding raw materials into useful substances and apply them to social life with the help of engineering means. It includes the preparation of enzyme ...
SARS-CoV-2 detection workflow in wastewater Monitoring wastewater for SARS-CoV-2 – or Coronavirus as it is more commonly known – can be a valuable data resource for an effective COVID-19 management. However, there are several challenges involved in detecting biological parameters in wastewater. Fortunately, there are also several solutions available to overcome them. Wastewater ...
Overview of pharmaceutical sludge: Pharmaceutical wastewater is a type of organic wastewater with complex components, high biological toxicity, and difficult-to-degrade substances. ...
Hoffmann-La Roche has set up a new facility in Toluca, Mexico for the production of two highly effective cancer treatment drugs. The wastewater generated in this context poses an ecotoxicological risk. ...
But aren’t PPCPs removed at a wastewater treatment plant? Unfortunately, conventional sewage treatment methods cannot thoroughly remove many PPCPs. ...
Project Name Duzce Ortopedik Ozurliiler Okulu Wastewater Treatment Plant Employer Yilmaz insaat A.S. Contractor Enta Muhendislik Antma Taah. ...
Levels of triclosan within the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) ranged between 0.026 and 1.488 ppb. Triclosan concentrations were reduced by the WWTP, but small concentrations enter receiving freshwater bodies. ...
On average, there was about one ARG able to trigger resistance in each bacterial cell examined. ARGs in Wastewater A previous study found bacteria with an ARG tied to severe infections may be spreading through wastewater treatment plants in northern China. ...
After rain events in densely populated areas, combined sewer overflows (CSOs) can have severe health-related effects upon surface water quality, as well as diffuse overland runoff and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). All of these sources emit pathogens and fecal indicator bacteria into the surface water, which the EU Bathing Water Directive addresses by ...
In many coastal watersheds and ecosystems, rivers discharging to estuaries receive waters from domestic wastewater treatment plants resulting in the release and distribution of pharmaceuticals to the marine environment. ...
After excretion, they can enter the environment via wastewater. As a result, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs, the elements of drugs that are responsible for their medicinal effects) have been found in receiving environments across the globe, where they may have toxic effects on aquatic life. ...
In the present study, bioaccumulation of select pharmaceuticals and other contaminants of emerging concern was examined in fish from Buffalo Bayou, a tidally influenced urban ecosystem that receives effluent from a major (∼200 million gallons per day) municipal wastewater treatment plant in Houston, Texas, USA. Using isotope dilution liquid chromatography–tandem ...
