Solution · VOC Recovery
VOC Recovery & Emissions Control
Volatile organic compounds dissolved in process water and wastewater are lost product and a disposal liability at once. Petro Sep's VOC-SEP® hydrophobic pervaporation systems remove VOCs at 0.2 to 10% concentration from industrial process streams and wastewater, recover 100% of the separated components for reuse, and run with zero air or water emissions. Recovered solvents can return to the front-end process, and the treated water is often suitable for reuse.
Readiness: Proven, deployed
What you get
Outcomes on this vertical.
- Separated components recovered
- 100%
- Recovered for reuse, or for landfill in the case of solids, per Petro Sep's VOC-SEP® data.
- Emissions
- Zero
- Zero air or water emissions, per Petro Sep's VOC-SEP® data.
- Feed VOC range
- 0.2 to 10%
- VOC-SEP® suits higher VOC concentrations, where its cost advantage over UV oxidation and activated carbon grows.
Recovery, not just abatement
Incineration, advanced oxidation, and activated carbon destroy or trap VOCs but return nothing to the process. VOC-SEP® instead pulls the VOCs out of the water through a hydrophobic membrane by partial vaporization: a vacuum pump holds the permeate side under vacuum, and a condenser recovers the VOCs as a liquid that can return to the front-end process. The treated water is often suitable for reuse, and the smaller liquid waste volume cuts disposal cost. Delivered as skid-mounted batch or continuous units, with modules in series where a higher degree of separation is needed.
