THE INTERVIEW
Davide Guzzetti
Technical Manager
William Boarolo
General Manager
In a market context such as the current one, what were the main challenges you faced in 2024 and what were the most important objectives achieved?
We set ourselves a very challenging goal in 2024: to file a patent for HRTTM technology, which we successfully achieved in August. This has allowed us to bring our technology to the market to support the sustainability of solvent recovery plants.
What product lines are you working on that you intend to promote as a priority over the next year?
Technologically advanced solvent recovery plants with inert gas regeneration.
What services or activities have you planned for 2025 to engage and gain customer loyalty?
For customers who already have a recovery unit, we offer an assessment of the existing installation to suggest improvements aimed at reducing operating costs. If the units are obsolete, we will offer a new turnkey unit, as we do for customers who are approaching recovery systems for the first time.
ESG criteria are increasingly at the centre of companies’ development strategies, what are the actions you have taken in this regard?
Our technology embodies the essence of ESG criteria for our customers. By reducing natural gas consumption, it helps reduce CO2 emissions for greater production sustainability.
Criticality=opportunity: what are the critical issues that you have found on which you have built valuable solutions for the sector?
The operating costs of obsolete units or new recovery plants without efficient technological solutions.
What role do exhibitions play in giving momentum to the development of new services and products?
For us, it is a very important opportunity to make the market aware that we are here and ready to bring about a technological breakthrough in old beliefs. Trade fairs are an important showcase and must be organised in the best possible way to show customers what we are capable of.
THE PRODUCTS
Solvent recovery
Solvent recovery systems have become increasingly important in order to comply with emission reduction regulations (Directive 2010/75/ EU) and ensure energy efficiency, also becoming an important factor in the circular economy. Our innovative HRTTM Hybrid Recovery Technique combines the advantages of different existing technologies, enabling significant energy savings (more than 40% compared to standard technology systems). It is a low-energy plant solution for solvent recovery units which, while maintaining the adsorption technology unchanged, has revolutionised the regeneration of activated carbon. The innovative process is based on an advanced system of adsorption on activated carbon and desorption using inert gas, with the possibility of heat recovery to optimise energy efficiency. The reduced specific consumption guaranteed by the HRTTM innovation allows for an equally important increase in return on investment, as well as operating costs reduced by approximately 40% compared to standard technology plants.
Distillation
In recent years, our engineers have researched and developed the following solutions:
- Solvent distillation plants for treating pharmaceutical industry waste: these special plants can be adapted to all customer requirements, as they are equipped with equipment that pre-treats the mixtures fed into the columns to eliminate residues from the production of medicines (such as lysine salts, sodium chloride and others);
- LPG distillation plants (propane, isobutane and N-butane) for LPG storage and refineries: plants that operate with advanced equipment and technologies that avoid additional risks for the end user when installing new plants. These special technologies make the plant self-sustaining, as R290 propane gas is used in the heating and condensation circuit.
Waste concentration
The concentration process is mainly used in the chemical industry, with the primary purpose of separating an evaporated liquid from a solution of salts, which are dissolved in the same liquid. The most popular applications on the market treat different types of waste, including:
- inorganic acid solutions;
- solvent solutions containing salts;
- organic solutions containing dissolved salts;
- caustic soda solutions.
The disposal of these waste liquids is costly, both due to the nature of the solution and the large quantities to be disposed of. In this sense, the recovery of the aqueous solution is essential: it guarantees the reduction of these costs and the obtaining of waste liquids that can be reused in other fields of application.
But we don’t stop there. EPC integrates intelligent systems for monitoring and automated management of plants, offering customers connected and predictive solutions that improve safety and productivity. Because the future of plants is not only efficient, but also intelligent. We offer cutting-edge technologies for solvent recovery, distillation and concentration of wastewater, operating with maximum efficiency in VOC abatement and LPG refining processes.
Our excellence does not stop at technology: we provide high-level engineering skills, supporting our customers with feasibility studies, targeted consultancy and customized solutions. From preliminary analysis to the supply of the plant, up to maintenance and continuous optimization, we guarantee a complete and customized service.
Thanks to our international experience, EPC brings innovation everywhere, helping companies improve the sustainability, efficiency and safety of their plants. Because our goal is to create extraordinary solutions, anywhere in the world.
