Pharmaceutical / Chemical

Pharmaceutical, Specialty Chemical, and GMO producers benefit most from total on-site sludge destruction and typically show outstanding investment returns with the AFC process. Waste treatment sludge disposal costs and potential liabilities are highest for these manufacturers. Typically there are high-strength streams in the plant that are perfectly suited to the AFC and offer the highest payback for multiple reasons. Full scale installations are operating and have reduced Owners cost of operations by millions of dollars annually.
