TRANSONIC offers On-site recycling system. When approximately
100 Liters of solvent waste is generated per day. The simplest form of
solvent reuse is termed "downgrading," which is the use of a
solvent that has become contaminated through initial use for a second
cleaning process. For example, precision bearings need very high purity
solvents for cleaning. The solvent acquires very little contamination in
usage and can be downgraded or used for less demanding cleaning
operations.
More effort is required to recycle solvent that has become heavily
contaminated and the possibilities for both on-site and off-site
recycling or reclamation need to be explored. In vapor degreasing and
cold cleaning, the soil removed accumulates in the equipment. Eventually
the solvent becomes too contaminated for further use and it must be
reclaimed or disposed of via incineration. For on-site recycling, many
different separation technologies are available. Commonly used
separation technologies for contaminated solvents include gravity
separation, filtration, bath distillation, fractional distillation,
evaporation.
On-site recycling :
A company that used trichloroethylene in degreasing was able to cut its
solvent waste from 20 drums a month to five drums a month a 75 percent
reduction. Virgin solvent consumption was reduced by 15 drums a month.
Formerly, the company removed solvent waste from degreasers into a
storage tank every other day. The stored waste was transferred to drums
for disposal. Now, the solvent waste is pumped into a holding tank;
every two weeks this collected waste is redistilled to recover as much
solvent as possible, leaving only 5 drums per month requiring off-site
disposal.
Extra features of TRANSONIC Distillation/ Recovery Units :
- Proprietary designed water separator encased in cooling jacket
for removal of atmospheric water added during distillation.
- Extra cooling coils for fast distillation of solvent. (Bigger
freeboard Zone)
- In direct heating (Oil bath heating) to avoid excess heating of
solvent which would otherwise disintegrate.
- Effective chilling unit.
- Storage tank. (Optional)
- Air tight lid cover.
- Filter unit (Optional) at input.
- Level indicator.
