Continuous Solvent Recovery

Maximized reclamation, minimized waste

Continuous solvent recovery captures and reclaims valuable process solvents in real-time, reducing waste, cutting raw-material costs, and minimizing environmental impact. Integrated directly with upstream unit operations, continuous solvent recovery is operated under vacuum and with automated control to deliver high-purity solvents back into the production stream without interrupting the manufacturing flow.

Key Features of CONTINUUS’s Continuous Solvent Recovery

  • Recovers 80–95% of process solvents
  • Thin-film evaporation enables rapid separation at low temperature
  • Vacuum operation protects heat‐sensitive compounds and solvent integrity
  • Inline PAT monitoring facilitates real‐time purity checks
  • Automated closed‐loop temperature and vacuum regulation and control
  • Solvent segregation provides multiple streams for mixed‐solvent processes
  • High solvent recovery rates reduce solvent purchase and disposal costs

Modes of Operation

  • Delivery of filtrate
  • Separation and purification
  • Moisture removal
  • Solvent recycle to upstream processes
  • Waste concentration and management
