We offer thorough compliance documentation supporting corporate transparency and regulatory inspections, ensuring robust compliance frameworks.

Documentation and Validation

Essential for maintaining accountability and for use during audits, providing a reliable record of waste treatment and system performance.

Support and Maintenance

Installation and Commissioning

Ensuring that systems come online with comprehensive testing and validation, securing operational readiness and employee training.

Ongoing Support and Training

Our continued support guarantees that systems remain effective, with regular updates and ongoing staff training to adapt to procedural and technological advancements.

Hazardous Waste and Effluent Treatment Plant Systems for the Biopharma Industry

Advanced Effluent Treatment Systems for Biopharmaceutical Facilities

In the biopharmaceutical sector, wastewater isn’t just water—it’s a complex mix of biologically active compounds, solvents, and chemical residues. We engineer effluent treatment systems specifically for these challenges, ensuring the safe and efficient removal of contaminants from production and lab waste streams. Our solutions are designed to comply with the most stringent discharge regulations while maintaining operational integrity under high-demand conditions.

Specialized Treatment for Biowaste and Hazardous Materials

Biopharmaceutical manufacturing and research facilities generate a diverse array of hazardous and biological wastes. These include everything from cytotoxic agents and chemical byproducts to microbiological contaminants. Our solutions are tailored for this complexity. Whether it’s chemical deactivation, thermal treatment, or integrated decontamination technologies, we provide reliable systems that protect both personnel and the environment.

Effluent Decontamination Systems (EDS) for High-Security Labs

When handling infectious agents, genetically modified organisms, or other high-risk substances, safety is non-negotiable. Our Effluent Decontamination Systems are engineered for high-containment settings such as BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs and GMP production suites. Using validated heat, chemical, or hybrid methods, these closed-loop systems effectively neutralize biohazards before discharge, supporting compliance with global biosafety standards.

Modular & Scalable Wastewater Treatment Plants

Every biopharma facility has unique needs—and those needs evolve over time. That’s why our treatment solutions are modular and scalable, allowing for flexible expansion as operations grow. From small-footprint systems ideal for research labs to comprehensive hazardous waste treatment infrastructure for full-scale manufacturing, our designs deliver easy integration, minimal downtime, and long-term performance.

Sustainable by Design, Compliant by Nature

We engineer more than treatment systems—we build long-term compliance into every solution. Our technologies are developed with a thorough understanding of GMP guidelines, EPA regulations, and global environmental standards. Whether you're launching a new facility or upgrading existing systems, our solutions keep you compliant, sustainable, and future-ready.

Diane Williams

“Our busy microbiology lab depends on our Swiftlock autoclave. We’ve had it since 2004 and it’s covered by an annual service contract.

The admin. is really easy and customer services are tremendously helpful. I rang the other day to book a service and the engineer was here within a couple of days. Excellent service!" 

Helen Wheeler

“Manufacturing household names Arm & Hammer, Femfresh and Nair, our microbiology lab is critical to ensuring product quality. And our autoclave is essential to the lab. We’ve had EDS autoclaves for more than 20 years and the equipment is well made and reliable. The Astell team is always available and, if they can, they will tell us how to resolve the issues over the phone, and talk us through the problem, saving time and money."

Samantha Bean

“Having a robust effluent decontamination system is critically important. We invited a number of suppliers to tender for a new system and we were particularly impressed by EDS's professional approach;
They provided lots of information, helped us with planning and generally gave us confidence in their ability to fulfill the contract.

Over twelve months down the line we are more than satisfied with the system and the service that we have received”
