Reclamation Process: The reclamation (i.e.. boil down) process utilizes the vapor-degreaser as a still to distill solvent from the dirty boil sump and allows you to reclaim and reuse this solvent. When it is determined that the Boil Sump needs to be cleaned out, you should do the following things to boil down the solvent: 1. If you have a 2 sump vapor-degreaser, drain the rinse sump into a clean container for reuse. If you have a one-sump vapor-degreaser, drain the spray reservoir using the spray wand. This material should be collected in a clean container, so it can be reused. 2. Allow the solvent to continue to boil, and the vapors to condense, until such time as one of two things happens: a. the High Temperature Control (HTC) trips and turns off the heat to the heating elements or b. the Liquid Level Control trips because the level in the Boil Sump is too low. 3. Drain the remaining solvent/soil mixture into a container that is labeled as Hazardous Waste. This material can be used in future “boil downs” to reclaim more of the solvent in the mixture. 4. Use the retained solvent (from step 1) to refill the vapor-degreaser and add whatever volume of solvent is necessary to completely fill the machine. This process can be repeated as often as necessary, depending on the amount of usage of the vapor-degreaser and the amount of soil that is introduced into the vapor-degreaser. When you “boil down”, always put the solvent/soil mixture into the vapor-degreaser to reclaim additional amount of the solvent from this mixture.
