Working Principle of Methyl Ethyl Ketone Recovery Machine
The MEK recovery unit is an environmentally friendly device specifically designed to recover industrial waste methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). It purifies waste solvents through distillation, enabling reuse and offering both economic and environmental benefits.
Working Principle: Distillation is the core process
The key mechanism relies on the difference in boiling points between MEK and impurities to achieve separation. The specific steps are as follows:
Heating and evaporation: Add waste methyl ethyl ketone into a sealed recovery tank and indirectly heat it with thermal oil to its boiling point (approximately 79.6°C).
Vaporization and separation: Methyl ethyl ketone is heated to vaporize, separating from impurities such as residue and pigments.
Condensation and recovery: Pure methyl ethyl ketone vapor enters the condensation system, cools down, and reverts to liquid form before being discharged.
Residue collection: The recovered clean methyl ethyl ketone is collected and stored for reuse, while the residual material left in the tank is removed.
Key Features and Advantages
Significant cost savings: With a recovery rate of up to approximately 95%, it greatly reduces expenses on purchasing new solvents and disposing of hazardous waste.
Environmental Compliance: Reduce waste solvent emissions to help businesses meet environmental regulations.
Explosion-proof safety: Methyl ethyl ketone is flammable; all standard equipment features explosion-proof design and has obtained national certification.
Easy to operate: mostly fully automatic, equipped with PLC program control and a touch-screen human-machine interface for intuitive operation.
High-quality material: Recycling bins are typically made of 304 stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant.
