Automated Recycling Process: With Minimal Operator Intervention

Maratek’s solvent recycling SSC models separate solvents using the proven process of distillation, as shown through the numbered illustration below.

1. The waste solvent is automatically pumped into the distillation vessel. 
2. The distillation vessel is fitted with a jacket of thermal oil that is heated by one or more electric heaters which brings the waste solvent to its boiling point. 
3. Pure solvent vapors are then channeled to an air cooled condenser, where it cools into its liquid form. 
4. The liquid is then directed to the clean solvent collection drums, where it can be re-used.
5. As solvent is recovered new waste is automatically fed into the unit without operator intervention.
6. Once solvent recovery is complete the waste sludge is automatically discharged to a waiting drum/tote below.
