Solvent Recycling Equipment

Many solvents can be reprocessed and recycled for reuse. Distillation is the most common method of solvent recycling, especially in the areas of industrial painting and parts washers. But, filtration can be used to remove solids and immiscible liquids. The following is a list of companies that distribute a variety of solvent recycling equipment.

MnTAP maintains the following list of solvent recycling equipment suppliers solely as a service to Minnesota companies. This is not a complete list of available suppliers and does not represent an endorsement by MnTAP. MnTAP, by providing the list, does not guarantee that the products do or do not ensure compliance with environmental and safety laws in any specific application.

For More Information
For information on stills for on-site recycling, see Selecting a Still for On-site Recycling [#62], available from MnTAP.
