Healthcare
IDRO develops dedicated solutions for the management of wastewater with high biological and chemical risk originating from healthcare facilities such as hospitals, private clinics, and diagnostic centers, where water management cannot be treated as conventional domestic discharge.
In these contexts, the presence of pathogens, hazardous chemical substances (such as solvents), and emerging micropollutants—including pharmaceutical residues—requires the adoption of specific, reliable technologies fully compliant with environmental and health regulations, in line with the latest European directives on micropollutants in urban wastewater.
IDRO solutions are designed to ensure maximum biological and chemical safety prior to discharge into the public sewer system, significantly reducing risks for the environment, healthcare personnel, and the wider community.
Each system operates in a fully automated, controlled, and traceable manner, ensuring operational continuity, ease of management, and seamless integration with existing infrastructures.
Application Areas
The IDRO portfolio covers two key areas:
- Hospital wastewater disinfection systems, particularly for effluents originating from infectious disease wards, microbiological laboratories, and autopsy rooms, characterized by high biological risk;
- Laboratory liquid waste treatment systems, designed for diagnostic and research facilities, where biological risk is combined with significant chemical contamination.
Technologies
IDRO solutions are based on modern and sustainable processes, including:
- Chemical disinfection using organic acids, avoiding the use of chlorine-based products and preventing the formation of potentially carcinogenic organo-halogenated by-products;
- Advanced oxidation processes (Fenton-like), enabling the degradation of refractory chemical compounds and improving biodegradability for subsequent treatment stages;
- Advanced multi-media filtration systems, ensuring the highest effluent quality after treatment.
Design Principles
Each system is developed according to clear and measurable criteria:
- maximum disinfection efficiency and microbial inactivation;
- minimization of environmental impact;
- fully automated operation with PLC control and remote monitoring capability;
- total safety for operators;
- full traceability of treatment cycles and discharge parameters.
With these solutions, IDRO positions itself as a trusted technology partner for healthcare facilities and research centers aiming to address the treatment of hazardous wastewater in a responsible and innovative way—transforming regulatory compliance into a strategic investment in safety, environmental protection, and process quality.
