Mineral Oil Absorption System

Safely remove solvent from vent gasses before discharging out to the atmosphere.

This system removes solvent from vent gasses before discharging out to the atmosphere in a safe and cost-effective way. It uses cold mineral oil to absorb solvent from vent gases before discharging them out to the atmosphere. For warm climates, chiller systems can be furnished.

Noncondensable gases enter the mineral oil absorber at the bottom and rise through the tower packing and flow counter-currently to the cold mineral oil admitted at the top. The solvent is absorbed by the mineral oil, and desolventized gasses are drawn off through a demister at the top. Air is drawn through a fan and vented through a flame arrester well below lower explosive limits. The solvent-laden mineral oil collected at the bottom of the absorption column is pumped through a heat exchanger, then to the Mineral Oil Heater, and finally to the top of the Mineral Oil Stripper. Solvent is removed from the mineral oil by live steam evaporation as the mineral oil trickles down through the tower packing.

Features

Recovering solvent vapors from exhaust gases

Our absorption system is the safest and most sustainable way to remove unnecessary gases from your materials. Solvent-free mineral oil collected at the bottom of the mineral oil stripper is recycled through the Mineral Oil Interchanger/Cooler, then back to the absorption column where the cycle is repeated.
