How can increasing regulatory requirements, sustainability goals, and technological innovations in pharmaceutical water treatment be successfully integrated? The answer to this question is provided by the Pharma Water Summit, which EnviroFALK PharmaWaterSystems is hosting on October 15, 2026, at the DECHEMA-Haus in Frankfurt am Main.

With this new event format, EnviroFALK is creating a forum for the first time where experts from the pharmaceutical industry, science, engineering, and regulatory environments can examine current challenges and future issues in pharmaceutical water treatment from different perspectives. The goal is to initiate interdisciplinary discussions and generate new impulses on how regulatory requirements can be practically implemented. Another focus is on the question of what potential data-driven decisions offer for pharmaceutical water treatment and where their limits lie in assessing microbiological risks.

The topics at the center are those that significantly shape the pharmaceutical industry today and in the future: GMP compliance, cold WFI, digitalization, online monitoring, biofilms, energy efficiency, as well as water recycling and reuse. The speakers will discuss the impact of regulatory requirements on operational practice, examine systemic risks in pharmaceutical water systems, and evaluate the potential of modern technologies regarding safety, sustainability, and economic efficiency. The constant focus is on the question of which solutions are sustainable, resilient, and practical in the long term under GMP conditions.

"The future of pharmaceutical water treatment is not shaped solely by technologies. What is crucial is the interplay of innovation, regulatory requirements, practical operational experience, and scientific insights. Our Pharma Water Summit creates a framework in which these aspects are interconnected and further developed," explains Ulrich Träger, Managing Director of EnviroFALK PharmaWaterSystems.

Among the speakers are renowned industry experts such as Fritz Röder (Merck Healthcare KGaA), Jochen Schmidt-Nawrot (CRB Group GmbH), Prof. Dr. Hans-Curt Flemming, Niclas Pörtner (EnviroChemie), Sandro Bauer (ifm), as well as other specialists from industry, science, and plant engineering.

In addition to technical presentations, the event offers space for discussions, networking, and direct exchange with experts. Participation is free of charge and is aimed at professionals and managers from production, engineering, quality assurance, quality control, validation, microbiology, and process management in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences industries.
