A solvent recovery system is a process system that takes effluent and extracts useful solvents and raw materials back out of the process waste stream. The recovery of solvents from effluent can be achieved with a variety of technologies. A common recovery method is solvent distillation systems, but liquid-liquid extraction, absorption systems, film evaporation, crystallization, and membrane separation can also be used, depending on the application.

What is a solvent recovery system and when are they used?
Solvent recovery systems extracts solvents for re-use out of effluent streams. They can reduce the demand for purchase of new solvents & process inputs by recovering chemicals that can be reused in production or to flush the system between runs. They can also help manufacturers meet regulatory requirements or process standards by cleaning waste streams before they are released from the plant.
Benefits to solvent recovery include:
1. Reducing raw material and solvent costs by allowing manufacturers to reuse recovered chemicals and reduce transport and disposal costs of chemicals. 2. Lower Environment Protection Authority reporting requirements and risk because less solvents and chemicals are disposed.
3. Continued manufacturing efficiency through the use of recovered chemicals, which after recovery are as usable and effective as new chemicals
