Recycling of solvent mixtures from manufacturing processes

The recovery of solvents from mixtures is part of many chemical manufacturing processes. Depending on the process or the size of the operation, enormous quantities come together. These mixtures are often disposed of after the process, although they could be purified and reused by means of an evaporator.

For example, the materials research center at a university in southern Germany*, which deals with basic and contract research of new materials, recycles. With the Hei-VAP Industrial - Performance Plus Package, solvent mixtures are efficiently recovered for reuse. Since then there has been almost no need to purchase new solvents and disposal costs have been reduced considerably.
