[Histonet] solvent recycling

[WILLIAM DESALVO]

I suggest you look into Creative Waste Solutions Inc. for recycling (actually filtering through a slurry) your Formalin and Alcohols. I have over 8 years experience with the filtering systems. Dirty solution in, clean solution out and there is no breakdown of the chemical, just a cleaning (crystal clear and pure). For alcohol we combine several grades and then re-use them in all dilutions. Fresh alcohol is used for "100%" steps. For the Formalin, we combine filtered, test for concentration and buffering and add fresh 10% Formalin as needed to bring back into spec. Simple to use, very cost effective and the units are custom made to meet your volume of waste.

We currently use the CBG Biotech recycler for alcohol use only but have been given funds from our environment of safety department to purchase two solvent recyclers to be used for alcohol, xylene, and formalin. If anyone is using the B/R 9700 ProCycler Advantage to regulate all three waste solvents in one system I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
