Solvent Stills

Reclaiming used solvent cuts down on internal disposal costs and helps protect the environment. Solvent Stills from EZG are used by a large number of industries to distill a wide array of chemicals, including trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, nPB's, HFE's and HFC's.

Contaminated solvent to be reclaimed is transferred into the still by means of a fluid displacement switch controlling a transfer pump. This pump will transfer contaminated solvent from the degreaser or process tank to the still. This solvent/contaminant mixture is heated to the solvent’s boiling point; thereby vaporizing the solvent present, freeing it from the contaminated portion of the mixture.

Solvent vapors rise and condense on the internal cooling coils. The condensed solvent and any entrained moisture drains by gravity into the condenser troughs and flows through piping to an external water separator. Water is separated from the distilled solvent at this point based on retention time and temperature. The discharged solvent is returned by gravity to the degreaser for reuse.
