Energy Recovery for Solvent Recovery Units
DEC.ULP™ | UltraLoop™
Reduce energy costs and emissions with DEC.ULP™ UltraLoop™, the future of Solvent Recovery Units (SRUs).
Industrial VOC emissions pose a significant environmental challenge. Solvent Recovery Units (SRUs) are vital, but traditional designs struggle with energy inefficiency and rising energy costs. Enter DEC.ULP™ | UltraLoop™: a revolutionary and transformative process that delivers significantly improved energy recovery, reduced operational costs, and a substantial leap towards a more sustainable industrial future. Moreover, existing SRUs can be retrofitted with DEC.ULP™, enabling a rapid upgrade to state-of-the-art performance, thanks to DEC.ULP™ scalable design.
Traditional Solvent Recovery systems often suffer from high operating costs, particularly due to energy-intensive heating during the regeneration phase. These "old" systems can be inefficient and environmentally burdensome.
DEC.ULP™ • UltraLoop™
The Ultra Loop Process (DEC.ULP™) represents a cutting-edge, modular solution for resource recovery, designed to maximize efficiency and sustainability. By further consolidating heating and gas condensation (in the same AC regeneration phase - process release "DEC.THR5™"), DEC.ULP™ recovers thermal energy and achieves substantial energy savings over traditional TSA techniques. This optimized process, through faster AC regeneration times, can also boost per-cycle solvent recovery capacity.
DEC.ULP™ • reduced Energy Consumption
The DEC.ULP™ eco-friendly process configuration can deliver up to a remarkable 40% reduction in the heat thermal balance of the Solvent Recovery Units (SRU), translating into substantial energy savings and increased process efficiency. This innovative technology demonstrates DEC continuous pursuit of enhanced energy efficiency in SRU processes, paving the way for sustainable and cost-effective solvent recovery solutions.
At the heart of Ultra-Loop™ lies a unique combination of THR™ processes applied activated carbon (AC) and hot nitrogen regeneration DEC.RSG™ TSA process, a revolutionary technique that utilizes the inherent properties of AC to effectively remove solvents from contaminated streams. Unlike conventional steam regenerated SRUs, DEC.RSG™ employs an effective TSA cycle (with hot nitrogen) significantly reducing the energy demand and associated environmental footprint.
DEC.ULP™ • harnessing waste heat
DEC.ULP™ is an innovative waste heat process specifically designed for solvent recovery applications. This approach drastically reduces the energy consumption, by maximizing the recovery and reuse of the TSA energy: DEC.ULP™ can achieve up to a 40% reduction in the heat thermal balance of the Solvent Recovery system (DEC.SRU™).
