Solvents

State-of-the-Art Technology

Veolia employs the latest technology in its operations, including fractionating equipment made of glass. Distilling material in glass avoids any concerns about contamination, which can occur with metal equipment, particularly for solvents with critical applications. Veolia facilities also include batch fractional distillation columns for mixed solvent separation with high purity results, and thin film evaporators for solids separation and recovery. Processes have been developed to yield selected products up to a 99.5% minimum purity, with a water content under 500 ppm, no uncharacteristic odor and no color.

Veolia experts are knowledgeable and trained, with extensive distillation experience for a wide variety of solvents utilized in various industries. Our laboratories include a centralized reclaim process development lab, and our production quality control lab GC's are networked to our central laboratory. Analytical methods and standards are developed for each individual waste stream by our central lab where we continually troubleshoot processes.

 

 

Tolling reduces the cost of solvents used in manufacturing. With tolling, Veolia Environmental Services accepts used solvents from customers, reclaims the solvent to predetermined specifications and returns the reclaimed solvent to the original generator for reuse. 

Our beneficial reuse options allow companies to convert waste to products and minimize waste. Veolia Environmental Services can accept used solvents from a generator as a product and then manage the solvent to an audited third party to utilize as a raw material during a manufacturing process.

Veolia Environmental Services accepts used solvents from a variety of customers and reclaims the solvents to our specifications. We then deliver the clean solvents to third parties who use the material as a replacement for virgin solvent.
