Solvent Recycling & Distillation: Reducing Costs and Waste

Rubo provides solvent recycling services through advanced distillation techniques, allowing you to recover and reuse solvents such as vessel flushings and washings. By recycling your solvent waste, you can reduce the need for new product purchases, saving on costs while minimising environmental impact.

For businesses looking to manage their solvent waste, we offer:

Hazardous Waste
  • On-site Distillation Equipment – Ensuring that the recycled product meets your quality standards through in-house recycling solutions.

  • Off-site TOLL Recovery – Rubo offers off-site solvent recovery services using fractional distillation, a process that separates solvent mixtures into their component parts. This method allows for high-purity solvent recovery, ideal for businesses seeking sustainable waste management without the need for on-site equipment.

  • Secondary Liquid Fuels (SLF) – For non-recyclable solvents, Rubo provides blending services to create alternative fuels used in energy-intensive industries like cement production, further reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
