Helping you manage hospital water and wastewater

Read our latest Solution Flyer to find out how we can assist you with developing cost-effective ways to manage and treat your hospital water and wastewater.

Hospital wastewater contains a complex mixture of active pharmaceutical ingredients and microorganisms that can harm aquatic environments. Often, local wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are ill-equipped to handle this wastewater. Because of this, it is essential that hospitals treat their wastewater before discharging it.

In addition, pathogens such as Legionella, norovirus and cryptosporidium in potable water can pose a risk to the health of hospital patients. As such, it is vital that hospitals keep their potable water supply safe.

To help you protect both your patients’ health and the environment, we can assist you with:

• identifying critical pathogens in your potable water network, ensuring consistent high-quality potable water
• setting up a management plan for your hospital that specifies the actions needed to minimise health risks
• determining the best way to manage your hospital wastewater
• performing an environmental risk assessment of your hospital’s pharmaceutical contribution to the local WWTP and water area using our PHARMACEUTICALS tool
• satisfying local water emissions regulations

In addition, we can help you improve the design of your water and wastewater systems. Whether a hospital is under construction or being renovated, we can help you:

• integrate water quality measures into your distribution network design to ensure consistently high water quality
• integrate optimal wastewater treatment into hospital construction plans
• get water authority permission to discharge treated wastewater into the local water area
• plan and identifying possibilities for reusing treated wastewater
