Recover, Reuse, Revolutionize
- From pharmaceuticals to petrochemicals, many industries use solvents extensively for various processes such as synthesis, extraction, and purification.
- The solvents are often single-use, after which they are disposed of, commonly through incineration. This cycle of waste leads to significant environmental pollution and high operational costs.
- These processes contribute to 10% of the global CO2 emissions, millions of liters of wastewater, and consume 10% of the world’s total energy and 40% of industrial energy.
- 500-backed cleantech company SepPure offers a sustainable solvent recovery solution that could potentially revolutionize industrial practices.
- Their solvent recovery system, RE(SOLV)®, leverages cutting-edge nanofiltration membrane technology to recover as much as 90% of spent solvents. This makes the process 90% more energy-efficient and 50% more economical compared to conventional solvent recovery methods.
- What’s more, the technology is highly adaptable for various types of solvents, making it applicable across a wide range of sectors.
- “The energy savings and reduction in environmental emissions will enable major players in oil manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals to become more sustainable while simultaneously lowering their operational costs,” Founder & CEO Dr. Mohammad Farahani shared.
