Abstract
Pharmaceutical plants manufacture biological products, medicinal chemicals, botanical products, and other pharmaceutical products. EPA identified 466 operating facilities involved in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. Most of the pharmaceutical industry is located in the eastern half of the United States. The most prevalent manufacturing operation in the industry is the formulating, mixing, and compounding operation; batch-type production is the most common type of manufacturing technique for this industry. The wastewaters produced and discharged by the pharmaceutical industry are very diverse. Plant size, products, processes, and materials to which wastewater is exposed vary greatly. Additionally, the ratio of finished product to the quantity of raw materials, solvents, and other processing materials is generally very low.
