POLLUTION CONTROL
Alembic considers the protection of the environment as direct responsibility and all
processes and technologies incorporate this feature. A clean and a green environment is
an absolute necessity and Alembic ensures this by using state-of-the-art Effluent
Treatment Plant for all the waste generated. Its sprawling green campus houses a large
percentage of employees.

Environment

(1) The immediate surroundings shall be free from refuse, rubbish, overgrown vegetation,
and waste materials, to prevent harborage of rodents, insects, and other vermin.

(2) A suitable drainage system shall be provided which will allow rapid drainage of all
water from plant buildings and driveways including surface water around the plant and
on the premises and all such water shall be disposed of in such a manner as to prevent an
environmental or health hazard.

Industry Description and Practices

The drug industry involves manufacturing of drugs such as antibiotics, antibacterials,

herbals and nutraceuticals.

Pollution Prevention and Control

Good pollution prevention practices in the drug industry include:
a. Reduction of product losses by better production control.
b. Use of disposable packaging (or bulk dispensing of milk) instead of bottles where
feasible.
c. Optimization of use of water and cleaning chemicals; recirculation of cooling waters.
d. Segregation of effluents from sanitary installations, processing, and cooling
(including condensation) systems; this facilitates recycling of wastewater.
e. Use of condensates instead of fresh water for cleaning.
f. Use of high-pressure nozzles to minimize water usage.

Treatment Technologies
Pretreatment of effluents consists of screening, flow equalization, neutralization, and air
flotation; it is normally followed by biological treatment. If space is available, land
treatment or pond systems are potential treatment methods. Other possible biological
treatment systems include trickling filters, rotating biological contactors, and activated
sludge treatment. Pretreated dairy effluents can be discharged to a municipal sewerage
system, if capacity exists, with the approval of the relevant authority. Odor control by
ventilation and scrubbing may be required.
Monitoring and Reporting:-
Monitoring of the final effluent for the parameters listed above should be carried out at
least once per month or more frequently if the flows vary significantly. Monitoring data
should be analyzed and reviewed at regular intervals and compared with the operating
standards so that any necessary corrective actions can be taken. Records of monitoring
results should be kept in an acceptable format. The results should be reported to the
responsible authorities and relevant parties, as required.

Effluent Treatment Plant –

This plant is helpful in reducing operating costs and environmental pollution.

Most companies operate effluent treatment plants to reduce the potential for pollution of
receiving waters and to comply with discharge consent conditions. Effective management
and control of the processes used for effluent treatment will help you to:

 Reduce your operating costs and thus increase profits.

 Achieve more effective compliance with legislation.
 Improve your company's public image.
Pollution Prevention and Control

Every effort should be made to replace highly toxic and persistent ingredients with
degradable and less toxic ones.
Recommended pollution prevention measures are as follows:
a. Meter and control the quantities of active ingredients to minimize wastage.
b. Reuse by-products from the process as raw materials or as raw material substitutes in
other processes.
c. Recover solvents used in the process by distillation or other methods.
d. Give preference to the use of nonhalogenated solvents.
e. Use automated filling to minimize spillage.
f. Use “closed” feed systems into batch reactors.
g. Use equipment wash down waters and other process waters (such as leakages from
pump seals) as makeup solutions for subsequent batches.
h. Recirculate cooling water.
i. Use dedicated dust collectors to recycle recovered materials.
j. Vent equipment through a vapor recovery system.
k. Use loss-free vacuum pumps.
l. Return toxic materials packaging to the supplier for reuse, or incinerate/destroy it in
an environmentally acceptable manner.
m. Minimize storage time of off-specification products through regular reprocessing.
n. Find productive uses for off-specification products to avoid disposal problems.
o. Minimize raw material and product inventory to avoid degradation and wastage.
p. Use high-pressure hoses for equipment cleaning to reduce wastewater.
q. Provide storm water drainage and avoid contamination of storm water from process
areas.

Pollution Reduction Targets

Implementation of cleaner production processes and pollution prevention measures can
yield both economic and environmental benefits. Specific reduction targets for the
different processes have not been determined. In the absence of specific pollution
reduction targets, new plants should always achieve better than the industry averages
quoted in the section on Waste Characteristics. Vapor recovery systems should be
installed to control air emissions. Wastewaters and treated effluents should be recycled to
the extent feasible
 7. QUALITY CONTROL

Quality control (QC) is a procedure or set of procedures intended to ensure that a

manufactured product or performed service adheres to a defined set of quality criteria or
meets the requirements of the client or customer.

The quality control unit is defined as the Lab where testing of sample is done. The dairy
Quality Control Unit was established in 1908. Alembic have a modern, fully-equipped
laboratory. They conduct tests including biological, chemical, physical, labeling,
packaging, organic and inorganic contamination for drugs and Services are used by drug
manufacturers, associations, government and non government institutions.
