[Histonet] Recyclers

[Mickie Johnson]

Hi Charles and Cindy,

I am in agreement with the ease of use of the CBG unit. It is great for
Xylene and Xylene Substitutes. I would differ on recycling of alcohol and
formalin. When formalin is 'distilled' the buffer salts are removed and must
be disposed of. With a Creative Waste Systems formalin recycling unit, the
buffer salts are conserved. It is a filtration unit and one need only check
ph with minor adjustment and occasionally add some formaldehyde concentrate
(using an aldehyde dip stick to keep the formaldehyde at 4%) and no buffer
salts to dispose of. Also, their filtration units for recycling alcohol are
so easy to use. Just pour the used alcohol in the top and get clean alcohol
out the bottom. Call Rex at 503-784-1232 and he will explain in detail.
Savings are at least 50% including the cost of the filtration units. Good
Luck!

Mickie

Hi Cindy,  Over the years I have worked with the B&R and CBG units but
over the last 15 years or so I have stuck with CBG.  I put units in at
Wright-Patterson AFB before I left the military and then at a lab in
Texas I spent a year and a half at.  My current lab in Illinois replaced
their B&R unit with a CBG recycler before I arrived and I am currently
using a 5 gallon solvent unit for my xylene and alcohols and a separate
5 gallon unit for my formalin.  Give the company a call and arrange a
trial.  You have nothing to loose and will be sold on the units from day
one.

Anyone have any recommendations for recyclers?
