Abstract: A system for decontaminating waste water produced during dry cleaning operations which contains dry cleaning solvent and particulate contaminants. The system may preferably include a storage tank having an inlet through which waste water is introduced into the storage tank and a settling chamber having a bottom sediment zone; a particulate filter for removing substantially all of the particulate contaminants remaining in partially decontaminated waste water removed from the tank to provide particulate free waste water; a solvent filter for removing substantially all of the dry cleaning solvent remaining in the particulate free waste water to provide decontaminated waste water; a pump, located between the particulate filter and the solvent filter; an evaporator for evaporating the decontaminated waste water; and a recovery device for recovering the evaporated decontaminated water.

Abstract: A system for decontaminating waste water produced during dry cleaning operations wherein the waste water contains dry cleaning solvent and particulate contaminants, the system comprising: a storage tank including an inlet through which the waste water is introduced into the storage tank and walls defining a settling chamber having a bottom sediment zone, wherein at least a portion of the dry cleaning solvent and particulate contaminants in the waste water settle by gravity to form a sediment in the sediment zone and provide partially decontaminated waste water which contains reduced amounts of the dry cleaning solvent and particulate contaminants; pump means for removing the partially decontaminated waste water from the settling chamber; particulate filter means for removing substantially all of the particulates remaining in the partially decontaminated waste water to provide particulate free waste water; solvent filter means for removing substantially all of the dry cleaning solvent remaining in the particul

Abstract: A portable air purification system for removing perchloroethylene and other noxious vapors from dry cleaning hampers. The system includes a nozzle which is connected via a hose to a blower unit. The nozzle includes a filter which removes the noxious vapors from air as it is drawn into the system. The system removes residual dry cleaning vapors from clothes which are placed in the hamper or temporary storage after being dry cleaned.
