Solvent Vapor Recovery
Adsorption of solvent vapors by activated carbon and inert gas regeneration may be used to recovery VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) in a form that can be reused without the distillation step that steam regeneration would require. Low temperature condensation also offers the possibility of recovery of VOC's in a pure form. NUCON International specializes in both systems of VOC recovery.
Process Design Methods
A thermodynamically rigorous process simulator is used to calculate physical properties and vapor/liquid equilibrium. Carbon adsorption isotherms are developed in NUCON's laboratories. Designs are validated by engineers with many years of experience in solvent recovery and carbon adsorption.Carbon Adsorption with the Braysorb® System
Adsorption by activated carbon followed by hot gas regeneration and low temperature condensation is the optimum process for treating dilute VOC concentrations. Braysorb®systems can be designed to handle very large gas flows.VOC Recovery by the Braycycle® System
In this system the gas stream is cooled to very low temperatures. The condensed solvent may be collected without introducing any additional impurities. The Braycycle® system is used when the VOC concentrations are relatively high.Applications
NUCON solvent recovery systems have been used in the pharmaceutical industry, the medical device industry and industrial applications.Scope of Supply
NUCON can provide a complete design including PFD, P&ID, arrangement, fabrication and 3D drawings and equipment specifications. Equipment procurement and piping fabrication is usually included and, for smaller systems, the solvent recovery unit can be supplied on a skid ready for connection to the plant process lines and utilities.Optimization Services
NUCON will troubleshoot solvent recovery systems supplied by other vendors in order to improve reliability, capacity or performance.NUCON International Inc. All Rights Reserved
