Environmental Management at Leo Pharma: Insights from 22 Years of Experience

This presentation by Benny W. Jakobsen, a biologist with 22 years in environmental protection, focuses on Leo Pharma, a pharmaceutical plant in Ballerup, Denmark. Established in 1948, Leo Pharma is responsible for 120,000 m³ of wastewater yearly and employs 1,400 people across several facilities. The talk covers essential topics like hazardous chemical handling, cleaner technologies, and daily control processes to mitigate environmental impact. Jakobsen emphasizes the importance of regulatory compliance and waste reduction strategies vital for sustainable operations.

  1. Presentation Benny W. Jakobsen Biologist 22 years of experience in environmentel protection Tools: Danish legislation and local rules Case: Leo Pharma, a pharmaceutical plant in Ballerup

  2. Waste water – Municipality of Ballerup 20 companies with environmental approval 80 companies with other regulation 80 companies regulated by branch Xxxx companies with other impact ≈ 2500 companies ≈ 38.000 jobs ≈ 5 mill m3 waste water

  3. Case – Leo Pharma • Leo Pharma, a pharmaceutical plant in Ballerup • Established 1948 – still developint / growth • 1400 jobs, > 25 different buildings • 120.000 m3 waste water / year • 5 major sites with very poluted waste water • Intense use of technics and hazardius chemicals • Environmental approvement (part 5) in 1995 • Special waste water approval since (part 4) in 1988

  4. Chemical zyntese - headlines • 17 productions ≈ 74 m3 pr. day • - 4 productions  production stop • 13 productions was given chemical survey • - 3 productions  chemical waste • 10 productions was given waste water approval • - 1 production missed ecotox  chemical waste • 9 productions was critical ABC-evaluated • - 2 productions  production stop • 7 productions was given new ABC – lab. Tests • - 2 productions  production stop • ONLY 5 of 17 productions was given w.w. permit

  5. Main topics in daily control • Cleaner technology ≈ BAT • Hazardious chemicals  special treatment • Other reduction of waste water volume • Reducing waste water inhibitation • Reducing specific chemicals

  6. Starting survey • At the fence or inside the factory? • Descriebe main production facillities • Look at all production lines • Look at all machinery and pipelines etc. • Look at all operating units • Look at all chemicals used in the produktion kg/hour • Look at all chemical emission to air, water, ground and product • Look at alle activities to reduce waste.

  7. Back in the office • Focus on processes where there are emission or waste • Focus on detected major use of hazardius chemicals • Classified the chemicals in use • In Denmark we use: • A class chemicals: Not alloved in waste water • B class chemicals: Limited emission to waste vater • C class chemicals: Degradebel in recipient. • This classification is based on fx. Toxicologi or degradability

  8. Regulations in a waste water permit There will normaly be demands to: • Limit to the volume • Some technical demands • Chemical limitations to specific chemicals • Self-messurament and analyses • Statistical acceptence • Report and data-presentation
