Do you have a chemical waste stream currently sitting in drums or totes waiting to be picked up for landfill disposal? If so, solvent recycling is a better way to handle this waste stream, not only for your bottom line but also for the environment.
Our line of solvent recycling equipment provides the ideal solution to reclaim and recover your waste solvents through a controlled and self-sustaining solvent distillation process. With our solvent recycling systems, you will be able to separate pure solvent from grease and other stubborn contaminants with optimal efficiency, safety, and consistent quality. Depending on the components included in the substance, you should expect recovery rates yielding from 95% to 99.9%.
Solvents as cleaners
Hydrocarbon solvents are very efficient degreasing agents used to clean metal surfaces. However, using them on a regular basis can become costly and put operators at risk when it comes to handling drums full of waste or pure solvents. Used and contaminated solvents are a serious environmental problem if they are not disposed of properly. The disposal of contaminated solvents can be outsourced to waste contracting service companies, but this requires time, internal resources, and lots of EPA paperwork.
Benefits of Onsite Solvent Recycling
Our line of solvent recyclers provides an environmentally friendly solution for solvent recovery from industrial cleaning processes.
The main benefit of recycling your own solvents in-house is savings! By recycling your own solvents, you can save on both new solvent purchases and disposable waste solvent fees. Simply put, the machine pays for itself in only a few months.
Furthermore, our solvent recycling systems can be connected to your cleaning equipment and set to work in a fully automated process. This eliminates the need to move hazardous waste in your shop and expose your employees to hazardous solvent fumes.
Benefits of solvent recyclers
- Reduce the cost of your new solvent purchases by up to 90%
- Reduce your waste solvents disposal costs by up to 95%
