Steps for Acquiring Your Turnkey Solvent Recovery System:
Contact EPIC or call us at 314-714-1580 to discuss your application. A thorough discussion of your solvent recovery goals, budget and technology will help both parties determine if this project is a technical and commercial fit.
- Front-end engineering and solvent recovery system design are completed with EPIC as your project partners. EPIC’s scale-up specialists simulate your process at the increased scale, complete Process Flow Diagrams (PFD’s), Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID’s), material balances, equipment lists and any other required design documentation to present you with a complete bid package.
- Fabrication and controls engineering will begin on your custom solvent reclamation system. Our state-of-the-art fabrication plant allows for remote system fabrication that does not interfere with any on-site civil modifications taking place at your facility.
- Testing, shipping and installation.Your completed solvent recovery system is fully tested before shipment, and arrives on-site ready for process hookups. Installation typically takes less than a week for modular distillation systems, and on-site commissioning begins immediately.
- Full system start-up is complete, and training is provided for system operators. EPIC will not leave until all punch-list items are checked off and you feel comfortable running and troubleshooting the system.

Examples: Proven Solvent Reclamation Systems by EPIC
Innovative Dual Distillation Skid Column Design Enables 91% Ethanol Extraction
A ternary ethanol mixture is separated through a dual column distillation system. Using both traditional and vacuum distillation, the system achieves 91% ethanol extraction required by the customer. Solvent is extracted and recycled back into the process. Read the full case study…
Key Features:Ternary solvent extraction, ethanol separation process, dual distillation columns, vacuum distillation

Two-Phase Batch Reaction System with Solvent Recovery
A steam stripping process was suggested and implemented by EPIC. This solution allowed water from the steam to act as a barrier liquid between the solvent and bio-polymer during separation, preventing the formation of a hardened plug. Solvent is recovered and reused during the steam stripping process. Continue to the case study…
Key Features: Steam stripping process, bio-polymer reaction
