Abstract

A method of operating an assembly for recycling a solvent from a contaminated solvent solution including a source for the contaminated solvent solution at a level and a recycling assembly including a reservoir module and a recycler module. The reservoir module includes a reservoir and the recycler module includes a controller and a distillation assembly including a distiller having a conduit and a pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve includes a tube. The method includes connecting the conduit to the source below the level; connecting the pressure relief valve tube to the source; pumping solvent into the reservoir, distiller and conduit to an operational level; and selecting a duty cycle of the controller to regulate a rest period after the controller operation of a distillation cycle.

Claims (5)

1. A method of operating an assembly for recycling a solvent from a contaminated solvent solution comprising: connecting a conduit connected to a distiller of a recycling module to a source for the contaminated solvent solution such that a distal end of the conduit is disposed below a level of the contaminated solvent solution in the source; connecting a pressure relief valve tube connected to a pressure relief valve on the distiller to the source; pumping the solvent into a reservoir of a reservoir module that is connected to the recycler module to sequentially fill the reservoir, the distiller and the conduit to an operational level; and selecting a duty cycle of a controller of the recycler module to regulate a rest period after the controller operation of a distillation cycle.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising actuating a power switch disposed on the recycler module.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising activating a processing indicator representative of the controller operation of the distillation cycle.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising activating a stand-by indicator representative of the controller operation of the rest period.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising activating a service required indicator representative of the controller operation of a service period wherein the recycler module is deactivated.
