Solvent recovery systems for battery electrode manufacturing

Efficiently recover and purify solvents in battery electrode manufacturing with systems that ensure compliance with emissions standards while significantly reducing operational costs through a closed-loop process.

Recovers and Purifies NMP Solvent Efficiently

The Solvent Recovery System from Dürr excels in recovering and purifying NMP solvent for battery electrode manufacturing. It operates on a closed-loop principle, capturing exhaust air from dryers, precooling it, and condensing solvent with chilled water. This system is vital for producing electronic-grade solvents with applications in lithium-ion battery and electrode slurry production. Configured for both small-scale labs and industrial setups, it offers flexible throughput solutions—carbon beds for limited operations and condensers with scrubbers for large-scale needs. Integration is seamless, featuring energy-efficient heat exchangers that optimize air temperature within the process cycle. The system is crafted from durable, corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring compatibility with various chemicals. Dürr’s solution not only complies with stringent global emissions standards but also promises rapid ROI by minimizing fresh NMP purchases. Tailored engineering support facilitates customization, from material options to automation features, to meet your specific production requirements.

Benefits

  • Ensures compliance with strict emissions standards, reducing regulatory risks.
