What is Solvent Recycling?

Solvent Recycling utilizes a distillation unit to separate a process solvent from its contaminant for reuse.  This process consists of heating the mixture until the solvent reaches its vaporization point.  Once the solvent vaporizes, it enters a condenser unit where it is cooled back into liquid form leaving the contaminant behind.  The volume of usable solvent from the waste solvent mixture will normally approach 99.9% and reach purity levels equal to virgin product.

Why Use Waste Solvent Recycling?

Waste solvent recycling with one of our solvent stills provides many benefits, such as:

• Savings on new solvent purchasing, and waste solvent disposal.
• Lower EPA generator status, meaning less paperwork and fees.
• Reduced onsite hazardous waste storage.
• Increased productivity of solvent cleaning operation.
• Lower labor costs associated with storage and transport of solvent waste.

Using a solvent reclaimer allows companies to do right by the environment while reducing costs.
