Waterproofing Company Saves Thousands by Recycling Their Solvents

LymTal International Inc. has introduced the line of Iso-Flex systems that are designed to protect concrete structures. LymTal offers a broad scope of products in their commercial waterproofing division including traffic and membrane coatings, as well as concrete and joint sealants.

LymTal uses Maratek’s solvent recycling units to recycle approximately 150 gallons of mineral spirits every week. This results in an average savings of $166,776 per year just by recovering their waste instead of purchasing new solvent.

LymTal also saves an additional $13,898 in disposal costs, as they no longer have to send their wastes to remote facilities to be recycled. Maratek has therefore helped LymTal save a total of $180,674 per year through solvent recycling, resulting in a payback period of less than six months.

LymTal has used their air-cooled and vacuum equipped SSB 30 Solvent Saver unit since September 2013 to assist them with cleaning their chemical reactors using a mineral spirit solvent. LymTal is able to successfully recover of 98 - 99% of every waste drum that is fed into the SSB 30.

Since the company recycles one 30 gallon batch every business day, they are able to recover and reuse large amounts of their mineral spirits. Maratek takes pride providing our customers with reliable, innovative, and cost saving recycling solutions.
