Progressive Recovery Systems

Posted on by

Progressive Recovery, Inc. (PRI) is North America’s leading manufacturer of solvent recycling systems. The company was organized in 1980 to address the need for safe, efficient and economical solutions for reducing or eliminating hazardous waste.

We work with Progressive Recovery Inc. to assess your needs so their engineers can design a solvent recovery system custom-fit specifically for your application. Progressive Recovery solvent recycling systems are supported by engineering, design, manufacturing, quality assurance, service, and after-the-sale support. Progressive Recovery has contributed innovative solutions to environmental waste problems at both Fortune 500 clients and privately held companies.

How it Works

Solvent recycling is accomplished by a distillation process which includes the following steps:

  • A still (distillation) vessel is charged with a waste solution on a batch or continuous basis.
  • A thermal oil jacket, electrically or steam heated, injects heat into the waste solvent by conductive thermal transfer.
  • The still may be operated under vacuum, which lowers the boiling temperature of the solvent.
  • When the solvent reaches its reduced boiling point, the solvent changes from liquid to a vapor (gas) at a controlled rate.
  • The solvent, in a vapor phase, passes through the condenser which has both a condensing and a subcooling section. In the condenser, the solvent changes back to a liquid and is cooled back to ambient conditions.
  • The contaminants (solids or non-volatile liquids) do not undergo a vapor phase, but stay behind as “still bottoms” to be discharged out the drain port.

Once non-volatile portions build up to concentrated levels, the “still bottoms’ are discharged. Another production run can then be initiated.

We also supply solvent recycler bags for easy clean-out of still bottoms.

Nexgen Solvent Recyclers

Posted on by

Solvent Recovery Systems offers the full line of NexGen solvent recyclers, with 12 models ranging in size from 2.6 gallon to 105 gallon. These units specialize in the waste solvent recycling of small to medium volume users. Having options such as automatic load of the dirty waste solvent, and residue discharge, as well as vacuum assist, NexGen’s recyclers are easily integrated into most production lines.

Solvent recycling utilizes a solvent distillation unit to separate a process solvent from its contaminant for reuse. This process consists of heating the mixture until the solvent reaches its vaporization point. Once the solvent vaporizes, it enters a condenser unit where it is cooled back into liquid form leaving the contaminant behind. The volume of usable solvent from the waste solvent mixture will normally approach 99.9% and reach purity levels equal to virgin product.

Solvent recyclers are used in industries such as:

  • Aerospace
  • Automotive
  • Boat Building
  • Cabinet Manufacturers
  • Defense Contractors
  • Electronics
  • Flexographic printing
  • Furniture Manufacturers and Restorers
  • Paint and Ink Manufacturers
  • Petrochemicals
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Plastics and Composite Manufacturers
