08 · Benefits of VOC Recovery
Why recovery beats destruction
Lower raw material costs
Recovered solvent goes straight back into production instead of being bought again — on mixed-solvent streams, worth thousands of rupees per hour.
Lower operating cost
No supplemental fuel of the kind an oxidiser burns. Genosorb make-up loss is as little as 2% of inventory a year.
Lower greenhouse gas emissions
Recovery avoids the CO₂ that destruction generates — a documented net ~1.315 kg CO₂-equivalent avoided per kg of VOC recovered.
Resource conservation
Solvent that would be lost to the air or turned into waste heat stays in productive use.
Less waste
The same approach treats solvent-laden effluent — COD cut by over 99%, from ~200,000 to under 1,000 in pilot runs.
ESG performance
Measurable cuts in emissions and solvent use feed directly into environmental, social and governance reporting.
A circular economy for solvents
Recovered solvent goes back into the same process it came from. What used to be a one-way emission — bought, used, lost to the air or burned — becomes a closed loop, with only a small top-up of fresh solvent.
