We are proud to be at the forefront of energy-saving technologies, such as HRT™, which offers numerous advantages, including savings in thermal energy, improved dehydration capacity, and reduced consumption of electricity and natural gas during regeneration of the solvent recovery systems.
In our continuous pursuit of energy-efficient solutions, we have developed a cutting-edge plant solution for solvent recovery units. Embracing the time-tested activated carbon adsorption and regeneration technology, we introduce our groundbreaking HRT™ (Hybrid Recovery Technique).
This innovative advancement combines the best features of existing technologies, delivering remarkable energy savings compared to conventional plants. HRT™ significantly optimizes the running costs of recovery units, leading to a faster return on investment and exemplifying our dedication to providing advanced and customized solutions tailored to our customers’ unique needs.

Our Plant Portfolio

SOLVENT RECOVERY PLANT

The significance of solvent recovery plants has escalated with the growing need to adhere to emission reduction regulations, such as the EU Directive 2010/75 on industrial emissions and integrated pollution prevention and control. Additionally, these plants play a vital role in ensuring energy efficiency and actively contributing to the circular economy.
We stand ready to recommend the most suitable plant and technology, taking into account various factors such as the type of fluid and solvent used, the size of the client company, and energy consumption.
Our expertise in solvent recovery spans a wide range of production sectors, including flexible packaging, adhesive tapes, coatings, rubber, explosives, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, degreasing, extraction, painting, polyurethanes, and acrylic resins. Some of the frequently employed solvents in these processes include:

• Ethyl Acetate
• Ethyl Alcohol
• Ketones
• Iso-Propyl Alcohol
• Aromatic Solvent
Our consulting service is geared towards identifying the best tech solutions available, drawing on specialist expertise and comprehensive assessments of energy and environmental impact.
The processes covered by our engineering team in term of adsorption on activated carbon and desorption by inert gas are the following:

• Adsorption on activated carbon
• Solvent desorption with inert gas (HRT Technology)

Our solvent recovery units, whether standard plants with large horizontal adsorbers or on SKID with horizontal adsorbers mounted on steel-work, offer flexibility and customized solutions for each customer’s needs. Building plants on SKIDs significantly reduces delivery time, while our horizontal adsorbers ensure efficient carbon regenerations.

SOLVENT DEHYDRATION SYSTEMS
The solvent dehydration process on zeolite beds occurs by feeding wet solvents through absorbers containing, indeed, molecular sieves. Wet solvents, crossing the zeolites bed are dehydrated by water present in the mixture, and come out anhydrous from absorption bed. Molecular sieves during the process absorb water until saturation, thanks to their porosity. The exothermic reaction generated during water absorption enables automation systems installed in the plant to control zeolites beds saturation, so that the quality of dehydrated solvent exiting from adsorbers can always be controlled. The most used zeolites in these applications are of 3A type due to the suitable dimensions of micropores, that ensure the adsorption of water molecules only, while solvents molecules are not absorbed. Once saturated, molecular sieves bed are regenerated using inert gas, as done for active carbon.
The technology used to desorb water from molecular sieves is the same desorbing technology with inert gas (nitrogen) used for active carbon. Nitrogen is heated through a heat exchanger placed on the forced circulation of a fan until reaching a temperature of about 210°C and is then conveyed to the adsorber containing molecular sieves saturated with water.

DISTILLATION PLANT
At EPC, we take pride in our expertise in designing, sizing, and building distillation plants for treating various types of waste fluids. Our focus includes:
• Solvents Distillation
• LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) Distillation
• Vegetable Oils and Fats Distillation
Typically, our solvent distillation plants serve as backups for solvent recovery plants, efficiently recovering specific solvents from mixtures resulting from activated carbon regeneration.
Our highly specialized engineers have developed innovative solutions in recent years to meet specific industry needs. For instance, we have designed solvent distillation plants to treat waste-waters from the pharmaceutical industry. These plants are flexible and adaptable, equipped for the pre-treatment of mixtures supplied to the columns to eliminate residues from pharmaceutical production. By utilizing distillation columns operating under both pressure and vacuum, we achieve an exceptional level of purity in the final products.
Additionally, we have introduced LPG distillation plants for LPG storage and refineries. Our state-of-the-art technologies, such as heating and condensation via heat pumps, make these plants self-sustainable, as they utilize R290 propane gas in the heating and condensation circuit.
At EPC, we undertake the entire process in-house, from design and sizing to construction and assembly, ensuring a high-quality end product.

CONCENTRATION PLANT
In the chemical industry, concentration processes play a crucial role in separating evaporated liquids from solutions of salts dissolved within them.
EPC has successfully designed, built, and assembled a double-acting ferric chloride concentration plant for an Italian customer, setting a benchmark for our achievements since our inception.
Our concentration plants cater to various types of waste solutions, including:
• Solutions Of Inorganic Acids
• Solvents Containing Salts
• Organic Solutions With Dissolved Salts
• Caustic Soda Solutions
With our expertise in solvent recovery, distillation, and concentration plants, we can recommend the best tech solutions for your specific needs, while ensuring compliance with emission reduction regulations and promoting energy efficiency.
