RSI Laboratory Systems are designed for solvent recovery in small batches in laboratory and small shop settings. These systems are portable, and are supplied on a stainless steel cart, include an air operated, explosion proof, vacuum and a water recirculating system. All RSI systems recover solvent by heat distillation.

Each RSI Solvent Recovery Laboratory System is ideal for solvent recycling with a wide variety of solvents commonly used in medical and industrial laboratory facilities. Each distillation system will recycle dirty solvents and restore them to purity through heat distillation. They can dramatically reduce the volume of contaminated waste that must be properly disposed and these systems can often pay for themselves in less than a year. Waste residue can either be contained in a high temperature cooking bag or easily wiped out of the shiny stainless steel tank. Each RSI Laboratory Solvent Recovery distillation system is designed for the safe recovery of volatile and flammable solvents. Each is designed to be explosion proof and is therefore well suited to distilling flammable solvents. Laboratory solvent distillation systems are cart mounted for easy maneuverability and can be operated anywhere in the lab that has adequate ventilation. They require only a standard 120 Volt or 240 Volt grounded electrical connection and each includes a vacuum system for vacuum distillation. Vacuum distillation can significantly reduce the solvent boiling point, reducing the heat-up time, distillation time, and consequently, energy costs in operating the heater.

RSI manufactures these Solvent Recovery laboratory systems for the on-site solvent recycling that allows reuse of contaminated petroleum or water-based solvents. They save our customers money, eliminate the burden of meeting EPA hazardous waste storage and transport regulations, and help them comply with Federal and local environmental and solvent recycling requirements. They are heavy-duty all-stainless, portable vacuum distillation equipment designed for recycling flammable petroleum solvents through heat distillation.

These electrically-heated solvent distillers are manufactured as the RSI-5, a 5 gallon Laboratory-grade solvent recycling distiller and an RSI-15, 15 gallon Laboratory-grade solvent recycling distiller. An electric or air powered vacuum distillation system is included with each system, which will significantly reduce solvent distillation time and recycling cost. These RSI Laboratory systems are installed in a wide range of industries and applications. With more than 22 years of experience in hazardous waste recycling, RSI is an industry leader in on-site solvent recovery.
