Solvent Emissions Directive

WHAT IMPACT WILL THE SOLVENT EMISSIONS DIRECTIVE HAVE FOR YOU?

 

If you use trichloroethylene you will be required to keep your usage down to <1 ton per year or have to comply with very strict emissions levels.  In most cases this will not be possible with a standard open top vapour degreaser.

 

You will need to consider the following alternatives:-

 

1. Process substitution using an alternative degreasing method ie aqueous.

 

2. Investment in hermetically sealed solvent degreaser costing £100K plus

 

3. Sub-contract your work to a company who is SED compliant.

 

For companies where this expenditure is too high you may decide to look for a sub-contract supplier like us who is compliant with the SED.
