Organic Solvents

Solvents form a vital part of multiple manufacturing processes including in the pharmaceutical, automotive and paint industries.

Whilst the reuse and recycling of solvent is always the more favourable method, this is not always a feasible option, particularly for heavily contaminated and malodourous solvent streams. To support organisations looking for new ways to move up the waste hierarchy and reduce their carbon footprint, spent solvents can be utilised as a fuel alternative, which also help decrease the use of fossil fuels.   

Due to the high Calorific Value (CV) within the material, spent solvents are identified as the perfect additive within fuel blending. Through harnessing these renewable resources, we collectively promote the use of renewable energy within industrial operations.  

At Totus, we offer a unique combination of specialist experience ensuring our clients benefit from a fully comprehensive total waste management solution. Our hazardous waste team bring over fifty years experience to their dedicated account management, striving to remove waste related burdens through the introduction of new recovery routes. We employ qualified chemists to perform lab analysis, classification, and certified Dangerous Good Safety Advice. Our experienced in-house compliance team then provide full paperwork generation and end processor duty of care audits.  

The recovery of spent solvent can play a large role within the circular economy model  

It also offers an enhanced environmental performance over landfill or incineration.  Drawing on our international network of solvent recovery partners and working in line with the waste hierarchy to provide “R” code status, Totus can access and advise on which outlet is best, both environmentally and financially.  Where reuse and recycling of solvent is not feasible, Totus will ensure that R1 direct injection is attained, ensuring maximum energy efficiency.
