SRS (Solvent Recovery Systems) Save Time and Money

Purchasing an SRS (solvent recovery system) is a great way for manufacturing, production, or fabrication businesses to save time and money over the long run of their operation. If you have ever considered adding one of these systems to your company, the time has never been better to do so since technology has created a number of well designed systems which require little operator assistance. Produced for applications where either low, medium, or high volume solvents are used, there is a perfect, high-quality, low-maintenance unit available which will be perfect for both your needs and your budget.

An SRS is typically used for purifying liquid solvents. This is done through the use of equipment which heats a vessel to distill the liquid into vapor form in order to separate contaminants, then transforms the chemical back to its original form to be reused. There are various features which can be added onto this basic unit, such as full automation of procedures and cleaning, vacuum adjuncts which use lower temperatures to perform the processes, and energy regeneration. They can also be designed to run Nitrocellulose contaminated waste.

Advantages of an SRS (solvent recovery system)

An SRS presents many advantages to any business which uses one or more solvents in their operation - and all of them save time and money.

The first savings occurs in the ability to purchase, and store, far less amounts of virgin solvents. Because these systems allow for recycling of contaminated fluid materials with output which is typically 99.9% pure after the process, solvents can be used indefinitely. Systems are available which handle anywhere from two up to 200 gallons per hour. Another cost savings is realized through reduced energy costs. For one, using an SRS with high capacity and a vacuum distillation unit means that the lower temperature will save energy and reduce the cost of recycling solvents as opposed to buying pure even more. Equipment available with energy regeneration capabilities which use the condensed vapor as power will save even more on a company's utility bill.

Full automation is another way to save money through reduced manpower to operate the SRS equipment. Automatic feed and discharge of the solvents means the system can be filled and then forgotten and scrapers which continuously clear away the sludge in the unit signifies that cleaning will not be a time-consuming manual process. Because the SRS is self-contained, harmful fumes are not released, adding to the safety of your workers.

Solvents which can be recycled include acetone, alcohol, amyl acetate, butyl acetate, ethyl acetate, ethylene glycol ethyl ether, ethylene glycol ethyl ether, isobutyl acetate, lacquer diluents, methyl alcohol, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methylene chloride, mineral spirits, toluene, toluol, turpentine gum, xylene and many more. Some high boiling solvents require vacuum distillation. Obviously, SRS can be used in a variety of applications and for a great deal of different types of solvents.

For your operation, there is an SRS (solvent recovery system) which will perform exactly as you need as well as fit into your budget. Look into the many available options for varying size and volume capacities today and start realizing a savings to your bottom line.
