Application areas Solvent Recovery

Dürr has developed proprietary systems for the high-efficiency removal, recovery, and purification of solvents from coating line exhaust air streams in the battery electrode manufacturing process. These systems produce electronic-grade solvents and can be configured to achieve compliance with global and local emissions standards. System considerations could include:

  • NMP recovery and its on-site dehydration/distillation has an extremely short return-on-investment cycle, compared to the cost of new NMP

  • In a laboratory environment with limited hours of operation, a carbon bed may be the most effective solution

  • For large industrial installations, such as mass manufacturing of battery electrodes, a condenser followed by either a concentrator or a scrubber is an effective solution. A final carbon bed solvent recovery system can be used to reduce the solvent output for applications requiring extremely low-level emissions to meet very strict requirements

  • The process is a closed-loop system. The exhaust air stream from the dryer is first pre-cooled via heat exchange with the dryer exhaust that is returned to the dryer as make-up air

  • The solvent is recovered from the exhaust stream via chilled water condensation

  • The exhaust air stream is reheated via heat exchange with the dryer exhaust and is returned to the dryer as make-up air

  • A small slip-stream resulting from air infiltration into the dryers is sent to a water scrubber or concentrator prior to being discharged to the atmosphere. In some cases, a carbon bed may be required

  • The liquid solvent can be reused onsite by sending it to a solvent distillation system for dehydration and purification, or it can be processed off-site
