The solvent distillation equipment which we design at KVC, includes a tank in which the solvent waste is deposited, a heating system for turning the liquid part of the waste into vapor and a condenser to cool the vapor back into a liquid. The general process consists of boiling a mixture in a closed system and condensing the vapors back into a liquid, and disposing of the waste.

For example, consider a mixture of solvents and resins left over from a manufacturing process. A KVC solvent distillation unit would heat the mixture to boil off the solvent, leaving the resins behind in the boiling tank and can be disposed of as waste. The solvent vapors would then re-condense in a separate area and return to their liquid - near virgin and clean state, ready to be reused.
