Send Us Your Drycleaning Waste

A recent increase in capacity, means we now have the time and equipment to look after more customers and tackle the more difficult materials. Consequently we will be pleased to assist in recycling economically any hazardous liquids or sludges that are causing concern.

The Process

We have several solvent distillation plants of different sizes. These plants process the waste material by heating under a high vacuum while gently stirring and scraping the sludge. This ensures that the maximum possible solvent is released and sucked away. The vapours are then passed through condensers that liquefy most of the vapour, and finally through a cooled vacuum pump, which liquefies the remaining vapour.

The sludge is drained out of the plants to cool and solidify to an inert stable solid waste. In the future we wish to further process solid sludge and convert it into other forms, which have economic value.

We have worked with the Christchurch TerraNova Group and other interested industries and enterprises to prove processes for recovery of further useful hydrocarbon products from solid and semi solid wastes.
