HPNow, a leading provider of sustainable water treatment solutions, announced that its innovative GOgen® system has been successfully implemented at Teva Pharmaceuticals’ Kfar Saba manufacturing site in Israel. GOgen® is being used to effectively control hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in discharge water, ensuring compliance with local regulations while promoting environmental sustainability and employee safety.
Teva’s Challenge
As a global leader in the pharmaceutical industry, Teva Pharmaceuticals is committed to the highest standards of environmental responsibility. Their Kfar Saba production plant generates discharge water that occasionally contains H2S. Teva sought a solution that could effectively remove H2S from the water while meeting their strict environmental and safety guidelines.
GOgen® Delivers a Green Solution
HPNow’s GOgen® system provided Teva with a safe, sustainable, and cost-effective solution for H2S oxidation. GOgen® generates an on-site green oxidant that effectively removes H2S from the discharge water, leaving behind clean, odor-free water. This eliminates the need for traditional chemical treatments, reducing the risk of chemical spills and exposure for employees and the environment.
Environmental and Safety Benefits
- Reduced Chemical Footprint: GOgen® eliminates the need for chemical inputs, resulting in zero chemical discharge and reduced CO2 emissions associated with chemical production and transportation.
- Enhanced Safety: By eliminating the use of hazardous chemicals, GOgen® significantly reduces the risk of chemical spills and exposure, creating a safer workplace.
- Sustainable Operations: GOgen®’s green technology aligns with Teva’s commitment to environmental sustainability, contributing to cleaner water discharge and supporting local biodiversity.
Operational Efficiency
The fully automated GOgen® system operates seamlessly without manual intervention, freeing up valuable manpower and resources. This automated solution also reduces the need for risk assessments and associated administrative tasks.
“GOgen® by HPNow provides us with a cost-effective, easy to install and operate technology-solution to secure discharge limits. The GOgen solution aligns very well with Teva’s sustainability goals,” said Gaash Bartal, Sr. Director Environmental, Sustainability and Green Technologies, Teva Pharmaceuticals.
