[Histonet] solvent recycling

[Feher, Stephen]

I agree with William.  We are currently using the Creative Waste
Solutions recyclers pretty much the same way.  One advantage is that
Creative Waste will work with you using some pretty creative parameters
to lease the recyclers.  I suggest getting in touch with them.  You will
be surprised at the overall cost.

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.

some help specifically on B/R Instruments. 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.
