This is the slide deck for the PSCI sponsored webinar on how to manage APIs in manufacturing effluent (Part 3) which took place on 25th October 2016. The webinar looked at advanced technologies to reduce API loss with guest speakers from the Temple University WET Centre and AECOM.

This is the slide deck for the PSCI sponsored webinar on how to manage APIs in manufacturing effluent (Part 2) which took place on 15th June 2016. The webinar provided step-by-step guidance on this ‘spotlight’ issue for our industry and covered the following topics:

• estimating actual API losses from the manufacturing process (PEC)
• establishing the acceptable discharge concentration (PNEC)
• making low capital investment housekeeping steps to reduce the loss of APIs

This is the slide deck for the PSCI sponsored webinar on how to manage APIs in manufacturing effluent which took place on 27th January 2016. The webinar provided step-by-step guidance on this ‘spotlight’ issue for our industry and covered the following topics:

• Why is managing active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) in manufacturing effluent important?
• What is the industry doing to improve public perceptions?
• Understanding where you stand at the moment through the maturity ladder concept.
• Establishing and calculating API discharge concentration called the Predicted-No-Effect-Concentration (PNEC).
• Simple steps to reducing API process losses to waste water and what to do when the PNEC is exceeded.
• How to advance your program to the next level.

Abstract: This Caldwell et al. study describes guidance intended to assist pharmaceutical manufacturers in assessing, mitigating, and managing the potential environmental impacts of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in wastewater from manufacturing operations, including those from external suppliers.
