The safe handling of flammable liquids is critically important to maintaining a protected work environment in your facility. 

Pouring solvents down the drain may be an easy way to dispose of them, but this act can be a costly mistake for your business.  

If your company produces spent solvents, you’ve likely developed a plan to safely and legally dispose of them. 

As companies continue to look for ways to increase their sustainable initiatives and reduce costs, one solution is proving to be intriguing for those that produce industrial solvents. 

A solvent is a molecule that has the ability to dissolve other molecules, known as solutes. Solvents can be in the form of a solid, liquid or gas. The molecules of the solvent pull the solute molecules apart. 

Solvent extraction is a process in which compounds are separated based on their relative solubilities. 

It’s no secret that companies that generate hazardous waste are required to follow detailed regulatory requirements for disposal. 

At a time when industrial and environmental regulations are constantly in flux, protecting your company and incorporating the highest level of sustainability into your corporate goals, is not only socially responsible but just good business in today’s environment.
