Industrial waste poses growing challenges in the current market. Altiras offers solutions with acid recycling. By transforming discarded acids into valuable resources, Altiras helps industries unlock potential in their waste streams. Altiras specializes in the recovery and repurposing of organic acids such as formic, acetic, and propionic acids. We reduce waste and drive sustainability and cost savings for businesses looking to stay ahead in a competitive, eco-conscious marketplace.
Types of Acid Recycling at Altiras
- Formic Acid Recycling
Waste streams often contain formic acid that still meets industry standards for reuse.Altiras evaluates the quality of formic acid based on its composition, color, and impurity levels. Altiras directly reuses high-quality formic acid. For batches that do not meet these criteria, Altiras processes and repurposes the acid through recycling solutions, effectively minimizing waste. - Acetic Acid Recycling
Various industries use Acetic Acid, but it can become off-spec due to impurities such as discoloration or contamination. Altiras recovers off-spec acetic acids and processes them through recycling techniques like distillation or membrane filtration. This ensures that even heavily contaminated acetic acid can be purified and returned to industrial use, providing a sustainable alternative to disposing of it. - Propionic Acid Recycling
Propionic acid is another critical organic acid handled by Altiras. When the acid meets the required standards, it can be directly repurposed. Altiras applies specialized recycling processes to extract valuable components and deliver a consistent, reusable product for large volumes of impure propionic acid.
Benefits of Acid Recycling
- Environmental Benefits
Recycling acids significantly reduces the environmental impact of acid production and disposal. Altiras helps industries minimize chemical waste, reduce emissions, and conserve resources by recovering acids from waste streams. - Cost Savings
Using recycled acids is often more cost-effective than purchasing virgin materials. Altiras provides high-quality recycled acids that meet industry standards, allowing businesses to reduce their raw material costs without sacrificing performance. - Regulatory Compliance
Acid recycling aligns with environmental regulations and corporate sustainability initiatives. By employing Altiras’ recycling services, businesses can demonstrate compliance with laws governing chemical waste disposal and resource management. - Sustainability
Recycling acids contributes to a circular economy by transforming waste into valuable resources. This reduces the demand for virgin acid production, conserving natural resources.
General Process of Acid Recycling
- Product Viability Assessment
The recycling process begins with an in-depth evaluation of the waste streams containing acids. Altiras examines the concentration, composition, and contamination levels to determine the feasibility of recovery. This step ensures that only viable materials enter the recycling pipeline. - Laboratory Process Research
Once Altiras establishes viability, laboratory researchers develop a customized recovery method.Depending on the acid and its contaminants, processes such as distillation, adsorption, or membrane filtration may be used to isolate and purify the acid. These methods ensure that recycled acids meet or exceed industry standards. - Process Development
After the laboratory phase, the process is scaled to a pilot level to ensure technical feasibility and cost-effectiveness. This phase involves optimizing recovery methods to maximize yield and minimize waste to ensure the solution is ready for full-scale implementation. - Commercialization
In the final step, Altiras can invest in the infrastructure and technology required for large-scale recycling. By commercializing the recycling process, Altiras helps you deliver high-quality, sustainable acid products to customers, reducing reliance on new chemical production and promoting a circular economy.
