Reduce The Cost Of Waste Solvents
Solvents are a crucial component of many industries and industrial processes, from manufacturing to paint application. These processes require clean, contaminant free, high quality solvent but solvent it will become degraded and contaminated over time needing to be replaced.
The very nature of solvent creates 2 costs - Purchasing and Disposal.
Disposal is an expensive cost as waste solvents are classified as hazardous due to several key properties:
-
Flammability: Many solvents have low flash points, making them highly flammable and a fire risk.
-
Toxicity: Solvents can be harmful to human health, especially if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin.
-
Narcotic Effects: Solvent vapors can have a narcotic effect, leading to dizziness, headaches, or loss of coordination.
The cost of disposal is an expense that can be overcome by the use of a solvent recycler.
Solvent recyclers are used to recover and recycle waste solvents through a process called distillation. Solvent distillers are a sustainable and cost-effective solution for managing waste solvents while reducing environmental impact.
How Solvent Distillers Work
- Loading: Waste solvent is added to the distiller.
- Heating: The solvent is heated in a closed system to its boiling point, converting it into vapor.
- Condensation: The vapor is cooled and condensed back into a liquid, leaving behind impurities like oils, dirt, or other contaminants.
- Collection: The purified solvent is collected in a separate container for reuse, while the residue is treated or disposed of.
The Benefits Of Using Solvent Recyclers
- Cost Savings: Decrease waste costs as well as the need to purchase new solvents.
- Efficiency: Recovers a high percentage (often 80-95%) of usable solvent.
- Sustainable: Reduces your environmental impact by reusing solvent and minimises your hazardous waste creation.
Solvent distillers - provide the solution for any business using solvent to recycle the waste product.
The waste solvent is processed to separate a clean reusable product from the contaminants contained in the waste.
Waste disposal, recycling and re-use of resources are important considerations for any business as they impact directly on business expenses and carbon footprint.
