Higher recovery or yield of clean solvent is achieved from economy of scale. The set up costs for processing 100 gallons of spent solvent is the same as for processing 1,000 gallons. Larger batch sizes also reduce unit transportation costs. Disposal costs of the still bottoms or unrecovered portion of the waste stream. Type of solvent.
Most chlorinated solvents have higher resale value.
Trichlorotrifluoroethane Solvent Quality Solvent quality requirements greatly affect the cost of solvent recycling. It is wise to become familiar with solvent quality requirements. The solvent quality determination will depend on the type of solvent under consideration. For recycled non-chlorinated solvents, quality simply refers to solvent purity, i.e., the relative quantities of contaminants the solvent contains. To determine quality, examine the identities and amounts of constituents in the recycled solvent.
