By adding a solvent recycling process, this Aerospace Industry client was able to reduce their wasted solvent by 90% and save a lot of money.
That is a dramatic improvement in waste reduction that not only reduced their environmental impact, but also saved them approximately $75,000 - $80,000 per year!
Here are some details about their recycling challenges and how Maratek were able to provide them with the solution that led to huge cost savings and an decrease in waste production.
Our client was motivated by the high cost and risk of handling, and disposing of, their waste. This is a common motivating factor for many of our clients, whether they are involved in the automotive, electrical, and metal finishing industries, or the printing & ink or aerospace industries.
This particular client hoped to process the solvents they generated on-site, but were facing some internal and external challenges. First, they hoped to process their solvents on-site in order to avoid the risk and liability of transporting waste on public highways.
Second, they faced an internal process for changing solvent type, that included considerations of cost, environmental impact, local and federal regulations and best business practices.
And third, they faced the challenge of managing this major change throughout their entire organization. For the full list and description of challenges, please click here to view the Success Study PDF.
The best option for this Aerospace client was a large batch solvent unit, the Omega RS-30. In order to manage the challenge of changing solvent processes in their large organization, the maintenance group wanted a simple process that involved “putting the full used waste drum down, pushing a button, and walking away.” And the next day, simply adding a new drum, pushing a button and walking away.
Simple and easy.
That is exactly what we gave them.
Our Omega RS solvent recyclers come equipped with an automatic fill system that permits recycling of solvent on a continuous basis, yielding a daily production far exceeded their rated capacity – all automatically.
With factors such as PLC controlling, tilting capability, pneumatic vales, and digital temperature control, the Omega RS recyclers are easy-to-use, making them an ideal solution for large businesses with complicated processes.
The Omega RS can recycle numerous types of solvents, from acetones to white spirits. No matter the type of solvent, it can recycled to its original form. This results in huge cost-savings as you are able to reuse your solvent, and you are not limited to using a specific solvent that does not work for your business.
We will work to make sure we provide you with the best choice for your solvent recycling – we will ensure you meet your internal process requirements, help train your staff to use the recycling equipment, and work to make sure you save money AND reduce your environmental impact.
By implementing a solvent recycling program, our client was able to effectively reduce their waste by 90%, equalling a total cost saving of $75 – 80,000 per year.
