Solvent
laden air is brought in the system and immediately passes
through a pre-filter. The air is then sent though a chamber
called an adsorption vessel, which contains carbon beds that
capture all the VOCs, or solvents. While the clean air is
discharged into the atmosphere, water is introduced to the
adsorption vessel to flush it and remove the solvents.
The
solvent laden water then exits the vessel and is taken to
a condenser where the water and solvents are separated. Finally,
the solvents are guided out of the system to a collection
center and the water exits the system to be reused and recycled.
