  • APPARATUS FOR CONTINUOUS SEPARATION OF CLEANING SOLVENT FROM RINSE FLUID IN A DUAL-SOLVENT VAPOR DEGREASING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20160008855
    Abstract: A method for cleaning a precision component which includes the steps of immersing the component in a heated solvating agent disposed in a pre-clean module tank to thereby remove an adherent contaminant; treating the component with a rinsing solvent to remove any remaining contaminants and residual solvating agent in a separate rinse degreaser whereby contaminants removed from the component collect in the rinse degreaser; and removing contaminated solvent from the rinse degreaser to a micro-still to separate the contaminants from the rinse solvent and direct the purified rinse solvent to the rinse degreaser. An apparatus is also provided for cleaning contaminants from a precision component including a pre-clean module tank containing a heated solvating agent, a degreaser containing a rinsing solvent, and a micro-still which separates the contaminants from the rinsing solvent and directs the purified rinsing solvent to the rinse degreaser.

  • Recovery of n-propyl bromide emissions
    Patent number: 7611564
    Abstract: A process for recovery of n-propyl bromide solvent includes mixing a solvent laden vapor stream with an additive and reclaiming the solvent using a carbon adsorption system. A carbon adsorption system and an additive dispensing system form a system for the recovery of n-propyl bromide. These processes and systems use an additive that includes an acid scavenger and a carrier.
