Technical details and manufacturing context for Solvent Recovery Module

Definition
The Solvent Recovery Module is an integral part of the Automated Chemical Drum Cleaning and Decontamination System. Its primary function is to collect spent solvents from the cleaning process, separate contaminants through distillation or filtration, and return purified solvents for reuse. This reduces waste and operational costs while supporting sustainable practices in chemical manufacturing. The module is engineered to handle a range of solvent types and operates within specified parameters to ensure consistent performance. Key specifications include a recovery rate of 90–98 liters per hour, recovery efficiency of 85–95%, and an operating temperature range of -10 to 80°C. The module requires a power consumption of 5–15 kW and operates at a pressure of 1.0–1.6 MPa, with a processing capacity of 100–1000 liters per hour. Temperature control accuracy is ±2°C, ensuring distillation quality. Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials such as Stainless Steel 316L, PTFE, high-temperature glass, and copper alloy, the module is designed for durability and compatibility with various solvents. The weight ranges from 500 to 2000 kg, and typical dimensions for a 500 L/h unit are 2000×1200×1800 mm. Electrical supply is three-phase, 380–480 V AC, 50/60 Hz, with ingress protection rated IP54–IP65. The module complies with relevant standards including ASTM A240 for material, IEC 60038 for electrical supply, and IEC 60529 for ingress protection. These standards serve as procurement references; actual compliance must be verified with the manufacturer. The Solvent Recovery Module is a critical component for facilities seeking to optimize solvent usage and minimize environmental impact. It is essential to confirm model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier before integration.
Working Principle
The Solvent Recovery Module operates by collecting contaminated solvent vapors or liquids from the drum cleaning process. The contaminated solvent is heated in a distillation chamber, where solvents are separated from impurities based on differences in boiling points. The purified solvent vapors are then condensed and stored for reuse, while residual waste is disposed of or treated appropriately. This process ensures efficient solvent recovery and reduces waste.
