Healthcare facilities generate wastewater containing pathogens, pharmaceuticals, and hazardous chemicals. Learn about treatment solutions that ensure infection control and environmental safety.

Hospital Wastewater Characteristics

• Pathogens: Bacteria, viruses, parasites
• Pharmaceuticals: Antibiotics, hormones, cytostatics
• Disinfectants: Chlorine, aldehydes
• Heavy metals: Mercury, silver from diagnostics
• Radioactive: From imaging departments

Treatment Objectives

• Pathogen inactivation (99.99% removal)
• Pharmaceutical compound removal
• Chemical oxygen demand reduction
• Compliance with discharge standards

Treatment Technologies

Disinfection

• UV irradiation – effective for pathogens
• Chlorination – broad-spectrum
• Ozonation – advanced oxidation
• Combined systems for redundancy

Biological Treatment

• Membrane bioreactor (MBR) – excellent removal
• Sequencing batch reactor (SBR)
• Moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR)

Advanced Treatment

• Activated carbon for pharmaceuticals
• Advanced oxidation for resistant compounds
• Membrane filtration for polishing

Special Considerations

• Isolation ward drainage – separate pre-treatment
• Laboratory waste – chemical inactivation
• Pharmacy waste – secure handling
