Through its recent acquisition of Barnebey Sutcliffe Solvent Recovery Systems and Vara Technologies MEGTEC is able to offer over 80 years of experience in designing, procuring and installing the most technically advanced and efficient vapor phase Solvent Recovery and Distillation systems. These systems are used in solvent using manufacturing processes to control emissions of Solvents, Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) and Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) to comply with EPA regulations, and recover them for reuse, generating substantial savings. They are also used in remediation projects to collect emissions from soil vapor extraction systems and air strippers for disposal.

Our integrated solutions for solvent recovery, distillation, and VOC/HAP emissions abatement have been used in industries such as:

• Gravure printing (publication, packaging & product)
• Paper film & foil coating (magnetic media, adhesive tape)
• Pharmaceuticals (tablet coating, fluid bed drying, condenser vents)
• Rubber (offset printing blankets, gloves, gaskets)
• Synthetic film & fiber manufacturing (membranes, battery separators)
• Chemical manufacturing (hydrogen peroxide, munitions)
• Electronics (photoresist)
• Plastics (foam)
• Automotive
• Aerospace
• Food products
• Degreasing
• Remediation (soil vapor extraction; air strippers)
• Waste water treatment (Solvent removal)

The MEGTEC solvent recovery systems utilize steam regenerated carbon adsorption systems to remove and recover the solvents from the process stream and with water miscible solvents distillation systems to separate the solvents from the water and separate them from each other and purify them.

MEGTEC also offers its CADRE® Concentrator, a system that combines regenerative carbon adsorption with an oxidizer to control low, variable, concentration VOC/HAP emissions contained in large air streams, as well as Revolver® Z, a Zeolite rotor concentrator coupled with a thermal oxidizer

MEGTEC typically provides small solvent recovery systems as completely pre-assembled skid-mounted units for installation by its customers. Large solvent recovery systems are supplied as total turnkey projects where MEGTEC assumes responsibility for the entire installation and start up of the system.
