BENEFITS OF SOLVENT RECYCLING AND SOLVENT RECYCLERS
www.cbgtechnologies.com/products_recyclers.asp

WHY RECYCLE YOUR LIQUID WASTES?

		Save money and get fast pay-backs on equipment
		Obtain higher quality solvents with better reproducibility
		Reduce liabilities related to solvent storage and waste disposal
		Make workplaces safer and cleaner
		Reduce and/or eliminate EPA record-keeping, reporting and problems
		Comply with Government and Certification requirements for waste reduction

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION:

CBG solvent recycling units use distillation (we offer both fractional and simple distillation product lines) to obtain both high purities and high recoveries.  With CBG solvent recyclers, the waste liquid is boiled and the vapors are separated, purified and cooled back to highly-pure liquids for reuse.  Solvent recycling units produce solvents that can be used continuously at no additional expense.

		Purities, recoveries and processing speeds can be adjusted easily to your needs
		Purities as high as 99.8%; recoveries as high as 99+% are common
		Contaminant levels in water as low as < 1 ppb (parts per billion)

SOLVENTS AND VOLATILE CHEMICALS THAT CAN BE RECYCLED:

		Xylene, toluene, and virtually all other aromatic hydrocarbons
		Mineral spirits, paint thinners and other commercial solvents
		Hexane, octane and and aliphatic hydrocarbons
		Alcohols, glycols, esters, ethers, phenols and cresols
		Acetone, MEK, and other ketones
		Chlorinated, fluorinated and brominated hydrocarbons
		Freons, n-propyl bromide, and other specialized solvents
		Formalin (formaldehyde)

EXAMPLE OF CONTAMINANTS THAT ARE REMOVED:

		Powders, particles, dirt and other types of solid contaminants
		Glues, pastes, fluxes, paints and various coatings
		PCB’s, oils, greases and waxes
		Cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury and all other metal salts
		Isotopes, carcinogens, mutagens and other hazardous chemicals

CONCENTRATORS:

		Even if a waste stream cannot be recycled, there may be great savings in reducing the waste volume to be disposed.
		A CBG Technologies unit may be used to remove a benign portion of the waste, such as water, which can be disposed of at no cost to the customer.
		The remaining concentrated waste will have a much lower volume and therefore a much lower disposal cost.
