Metal degreasing plant

Chlorinated solvents and many other solvents used in industrial finishing and processing, dry-cleaning plants, metal degreasing, printing operations, and so forth, can be recycled and reused by the introduction of carbon adsorption equipment. To predict the size of the adsorber, you first need to know the vapor pressure of the compound being adsorbed at the process conditions. 

Comparing the spreading behavior of CAH and MTBE is to be considered that by the spill of the CAH into the subsoil usually a pure phase product of PCE, TCE or 1.1.1-TCA is infiltrated. Most CAH contaminations were released by degreasing plants in the metal manufacturing industry. Due to their noticeable vapor pressure, CAH develop a gas phase body in the unsaturated zone, which is characterized by high CAH concentrations in soil air.

Another cleaning application involving solvents is the degreasing of metal parts and other objects in manufacturing plants and automotive repair facilities. Mineral oils and other high flash point hydrocarbon solvents are used in these applications. 

Use Its main use is as a solvent especially in the degreasing of metals. It has also been used as an anaesthetic. Figure 17.1 shows a single compartment vapour type plant used for cleaning by solvents.
