Solvent recovery

Distillation separates the volatile solvent from less volatile impurities. The vapors are cooled and condensed, while the residue remains in the vessel. The program includes the Standard, Professional and Industrial series.

From contaminated solvent to distiller selection

Which inputs determine selection?

Specify the solvent or mixture, attach its safety data sheet and describe contamination and daily volume. Nominal boiler volume alone does not define daily throughput: composition, cycle time and residue handling also matter.

Is the distillate always suitable for reuse?

Recovery separates solvent from contamination by distillation. Suitability for your process must be checked against the composition and required quality. Recovery yield and savings cannot be specified without data on the actual solvent.

Charge

The contaminated solvent is filled into the vessel. The composition of the mixture and the properties of the residue determine the suitable design and processing conditions.
