Remove the most resistant pharmaceutical compounds and micropollutants with Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD) electrode technology. A powerful electrochemical solution for points where standard AOP falls short.
The Problem
Some pharmaceutical compounds and highly resistant micropollutants show strong resistance even to standard ozone and AOP combinations. These compounds can pass through treatment and reach the environment or reuse water.
Some pharmaceutical and industrial chemicals withstand even standard AOP.
Micropollutants can be at ng/L levels where standard methods may be ineffective.
Standard AOP usually depends on chemicals like H₂O₂ that must be continuously supplied.
Micropollutant discharge audits for pharmaceutical facilities are tightening.
System Concept
OCS-PHARMA PURE is a four-stage system that works via direct electrochemical oxidation on BDD electrodes.
The target pharmaceutical compounds and their concentrations are analyzed.
Electrode surface area and power supply are sized by wastewater flow and pollutant load.
BDD electrodes generate hydroxyl radicals and other strong oxidants directly from electric current — with no need for continuous chemical feed.
The removal rate of target compounds is continuously monitored and reported.
Solution Areas
Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) removal at drug manufacturing facilities.
Powerful oxidation that doesn't depend on chemical feed.
Environments needing precise, low-concentration pollutant removal.
Compliance with the strictest reuse criteria.

FAQ
BDD electrodes generate hydroxyl radicals directly from electric current without needing a chemical feed like ozone or H₂O₂. This removes the problem of continuous chemical supply.
It is effective on antibiotic residues, hormone compounds and many active pharmaceutical ingredients resistant to standard ozonation/AOP. A compound-specific assessment is made after a site analysis.
Yes — it's usually integrated as a polishing stage after biological treatment.
As a direct electrochemical process, energy consumption varies by flow and pollutant load; a precise figure is provided after a site analysis.
Under correct operating conditions they have a long service life; electrode performance is monitored within the periodic maintenance program.
