DEC.SRU™ ♻️ SRU | SRS | SRP

Solvents are used in a variety of industrial processes and can be harmful to human health and the environment if released into the air. Solvent Recovery Units (SRUs) work by capturing the solvents from the air emissions and then recycling them back into the production process. This helps to reduce air pollution and can also save businesses money on the cost of solvents.

Solvent Recovery Units (DEC.SRU™), are devices used to recover solvents from air emissions of industrial processes.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are emitted from a vast range of industrial processes, contributing to air pollution and posing health risks. Stricter environmental regulations worldwide mandate significant reductions in these emissions. While destruction technologies like thermal oxidation are effective, Solvent Recovery offers a compelling alternative, particularly for processes using valuable solvents.

Solvent Recovery systems not only achieve high levels of VOC abatement but also capture these valuable compounds for reuse, turning an environmental compliance necessity into an economic opportunity. This page showcases real-world examples of how industries have successfully implemented Solvent Recovery technologies to control VOC emissions, reduce operating costs, and improve their environmental footprint.

Struggling to meet VOC emission standards while cutting costs? DEC’s Solvent Recovery systems offer a sustainable, high-efficiency solution, backed by real-world Solvent Recovery case studies that showcase dramatic reductions in emissions and operational expenses. Unlike thermal oxidation, DEC’s technology captures and reuses solvents, delivering ROI-driven results for industries like chemicals, printing, and manufacturing. With proven success in VOC emission control technologies, our systems ensure compliance and environmental responsibility without compromising performance.

FAQs • Frequently Asked Questions

Solvent Recovery | plant | system | knowledgebase ♻️ DEC.SRU™

What is a Solvent Recovery Unit (SRU) and how does it work?

A Solvent Recovery Unit (SRU) captures solvents from the air emissions of industrial processes and recycles them back into production, instead of destroying them. This reduces air pollution and can also save businesses money on the cost of solvents.

What is the difference between SRU, SRP and SRS?

SRU (Solvent Recovery Unit), SRP (Solvent Recovery Plant) and SRS (Solvent Recovery System) are the different names DEC uses for its solvent recovery technology, depending on scale and configuration; all three are built around the same activated carbon adsorption and regeneration process.

Which activated carbon regeneration methods does DEC offer for solvent recovery?

DEC offers RSG™ (TSA regeneration with inert nitrogen gas), RSV™ (TSA regeneration with steam), RTV™ (T+VSA regeneration under vacuum) and RSC™ (direct condensation). DEC's engineering team selects the right method based on the solvent involved, the process flow, and the site's available utilities.

Which solvents can a DEC.SRU system recover?

DEC.SRU systems are engineered to recover a wide range of solvents, including acetate esters (ETAC, IPAC, NPAC), alcohols, ketones (acetone, MEK, cyclohexanone), aromatics (benzene, toluene, xylene), hexane, heptane and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), each handled with a recovery process tuned to its properties.

Which industries use DEC's Solvent Recovery Units?

DEC's Solvent Recovery case studies span flexible packaging, converting (flexo, rotogravure, heliogravure), label, lamination, coating, lacquering, adhesive tapes, pharmaceutical, substrate processing, expandable polystyrene (EPS), and cosmetics, beauty and personal care, among other markets.

Is pricing available for a DEC.SRU Solvent Recovery Unit?

DEC.SRU systems are custom-engineered, quote-based systems with no fixed list price: each unit is sized and priced after DEC's engineering team evaluates the customer's solvent, flow rate and process requirements. Contact DEC to request a quote for your specific application.
