SRV Series
The SRV-Series is an advanced solvent recovery system that has been designed to manage the distillation of solvents in volumes ranging from 25 to 250 gallons per hour.
This makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a high-performance solution at a reasonable cost. The system’s innovative design features a non-scraped vessel with a distinctive 70-degree cone shape. This cone design incorporates a steep-walled distillation chamber, which is key to its efficiency and ease of use.
One of the standout aspects of the SRV-Series is its heating system. The system can be heated either by electric immersion heaters or optional steam coils, both of which utilize high-efficiency heat transfer oil. This oil is recirculated in a jacket that surrounds the distillation vessel, ensuring even heat distribution and reducing the likelihood of hot spots.
This efficient design not only improves performance but also minimizes the amount of heating medium needed. Additionally, the system includes an auto cool feature, achieved through an in-line heat exchanger in the recirculating loop, adding to its safety and efficiency.
The SRV-Series features a Closed Loop system configuration, which is essential for maintaining a clean and safe working environment. This setup is particularly beneficial for waste streams that do not harden in the presence of liquid solvent, allowing for easy removal of residues.
In terms of design benefits, the SRV-Series offers several key advantages:
- Vessel Design: The system’s cone vessel provides optimal heat distribution and facilitates easy residue removal. The larger surface area at the top of the cone remains clear as sludge accumulates at the bottom, ensuring continued high efficiency in distillation.
- PLC Controls: The system includes a variety of programmable logic controller (PLC) systems, with all programs and settings accessible for maintenance. These settings are preset and secured with password access for use by authorized personnel only.
- Construction Materials: The vessel and outer shell are made of durable stainless steel, as are the elevated stand, platform, and ladder, ensuring longevity and ease of maintenance.
- Highly Efficient Condenser: The condenser, crafted from stainless steel type 316, adopts a “Flat Plate” design, which offers a significant improvement in heat transfer efficiency over standard designs.
- Precise Temperature Controls: The system features RTD temperature sensors in various locations, all monitored and controlled by the PLC. This precise control is crucial for maintaining the consistency of the sludge and ensuring safe distillation, especially when dealing with reactive materials like nitrocellulose.
- Auto Cool Feature: For enhanced safety and minimized volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, the system includes an auto cool option. This rapidly cools the sludge before discharge, making the system ready for immediate reuse and significantly shortening discharge time.
- Heating and Cooling Methods: The SRV-Series uses a self-contained heating system with options for electric heaters or steam coils. The cooling of residue is efficiently managed through circulating a cooling medium.
- Vacuum and Auto Load Options: The system can be equipped with a vacuum system for maximum VOC control and safety, and an auto load feature for maintaining operational levels within the vessel.
- Sludge Discharge: The series includes large capacity discharge valves for efficient sludge removal.
- Safety and Compliance Features: The system is designed with explosion-resistant features, interlocking safety devices, and a pressure relief valve, ensuring it meets high safety standards.
- Additional Features: The system includes a full-function digital display, single point utility connections for easy installation, and solvent tank designs with various additional features for optimal space utilization and functionality.
The SRV-Series stands out for its innovative design, efficient performance, and robust safety features, making it a top choice for solvent recovery in a range of industrial applications.
