Abstract

Many national companies are beginning to rely on recycling processes to improve the overall efficiency of their manufacturing, including ENAP, as solvent recycling can lead to a reduction in waste generation, the reuse of some solvents and has many financial benefits. This process saves money, time, and resources and reduces pollution and costs of fresh solvents. The larger benefits of using solvent recycling go toward a more circular economy that prioritizes better distribution of resources and minimizes waste products. Solvent recycling is a large part of that larger benefit. In this work, as part of an internship for the completion of a final year project, we will present the used solvent recycling unit of the national paint company ENAP SIG.
