T h e belt, with lifting flights at­ tached b e n e a t h , moves u p w a r d l y out of t h e sand bed between two stationary side shrouds—creating t h e effect of a series of moving, closed, washing c o m p a r t m e n t s .

Activated Carbon system is the efficient, economical way to recover solvents vapor­ ized in manufacturing processes. Thus, it saves you money. Alcohols, esters, ethers, ketones, hydrocarbons, chlorinated com­ pounds, and practically all mixtures of these solvents can be recovered and reused. And look at these facts . . . efficiency— more than 99%: cost—1 to 2i per pound of recovered solvent. Thus, you save 6 5 % to 80% on your process solvent costs. Here's how solvent recovery works. Vapor laden air is drawn from the evapo­ ration process and passed through a bed of COLUMBIA activated carbon. The solvent vapor is adsorbed on the carbon and the denuded air is discharged into the atmos­ phere. When the carbon becomes satu­ rated, the vapor laden air is switched to a second adsorber. Then, low-pressure steam drives the solvent out of the carbon bed and the steam-solvent mixture is condensed. If the solvent is insoluble in water, an auto­ matic decanter separates the mixture. If the solvent is water-soluble, distillation does the job.
