This solvent, whose full name is n methyl 2 pyrrolidone, is listed as a potentially hazardous air pollutant and, for this reason, manufacturers must comply with strict health and environmental standards to limit its emissions. NMP recovery technology allows manufacturers to both meet the most restrictive emission limits and recover the solvent fed into the cycle for reuse, thus optimizing production costs to achieve real economic benefits.
Various industrial coating processes involve the emission into the atmosphere of significant quantities of the solvent NMP (n methyl 2 pyrrolidone or Normal Methyl Pyrrolidone).
NMP is a substance that is highly toxic to reproductive processes (can harm the fetus), causes serious eye and skin irritation, and can cause respiratory irritation. For this reason, the EU has developed specific guidelines to support producers in their efforts to bring their products into compliance with the standards.
For several years now, Brofind® Research and Development Department has specifically focused on developing technologies that can achieve the following goals:
BROFIND®‘s expertise in the field of recovery and reuse of industrial solvents comes from the personal history of its founders, which dates back to the ’70s. Our synergy of condensation groups, rotor concentrator units, and distillation columns ensures that all NMP economic and ecological requirements are met at cost and with speed.
All of our solvent recovery units, besides being ecological devices that drastically reduce pollutants in the atmosphere, are also proper industrial plants.
Emissions treatment plants for NMP recovery generally consist of three sections:
NMP is a solvent that is used widely in the manufacture and production of electronics, petrochemical products, polymers and other specialty chemicals.
