Environmental and Economic Benefits

If your company uses any kind of solvents such as Gun Wash, Lacquer Thinner, MEK, Acetone, Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), Varsol, Blanket Wash, Methanol, and Butanol, you could significantly cut your costs through solvent recovery.

The Maratek Environmental solvent recycling and recovery program is designed to help your facility accomplish two major goals:

1. Reducing liquid waste disposal expenses and;

2. Recycling of your liquid solvent waste such as Gun Wash, Lacquer Thinner, MEK, Acetone, Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), Varsol, Blanket Wash, Methanol, Ethanol, Butanol, and any other solvents.

Solvent recovery equipment can be a costly investment, and immediate savings can be found through our MaraSolve solvent recycling program.

Maratek will pick up your waste solvent and bring it to our liquid recycling facility in Bolton, Ontario. Your solvent is tested, segregated from other companies’ solvents and run as an isolated batch through our solvent distillation technology. The resulting recycled product will be of virgin quality and will be available for purchase at a fraction of the cost of virgin solvent prices.

You’ll save money, improve your environmental stewardship with no additional effort or upfront costs on your part.

The residues from the solvent recycling processes (along with various organic waste) which cannot be economically recycled, are processed by Maratek into liquid fuel products to replace, for example, fossil fuels for cement kilns. We also offer a competitive waste solvent acquisition service to obtain used solvents for recycling. These are then sold back into the world market via a wide range of outlets.

Typically paired up with our Hazardous Waste Management services, we provide service to pick up our clients solvent based waste stream. Once the drums/totes of the solvent based waste stream is back at our facility. We place the feedstock which is the solvent based hazardous waste at the primary starting point of our award winning and patented solvent recovery equipment. We set the optimal parameters to run the feedstock based on client requirements. Once operations have started, we monitor continuously to ensure we produce a batch of premium solvent that is nearly indistinguishable from virgin.
