RCN Chemie in Goch: Solvent Treatment and Recovery

At its Goch facility in North Rhine-Westphalia, RCN Chemie GmbH & Co. KG specializes in the treatment of industrial solvents and other suitable material streams. The company has been part of the ZIMMERMANN Group since 2018. Contaminated individual solvents and solvent mixtures are separated and processed using distillation and rectification processes. Whether and how recovery is possible is assessed based on the composition, the desired product specifications, and the technical and legal requirements.

RCN Chemie serves industrial customers in Germany and Europe. The specific services provided are tailored to the respective material flow, the acceptance criteria, and the intended use of the recovered products.

Distillation and Rectification at the Goch Plant

The site has 14 certified distillation and rectification units available for processing. These processes enable the controlled separation of suitable mixtures of substances. Depending on the feedstock, purity, and specifications, these processes can yield products that can be reused in industrial applications.

The program's academic focus areas include:

Treatment of Halogenated and Halogen-Free Solvents
Treatment of Solvent Mixtures
Recycling of Suitable Refrigerants
Treatment of Automotive Fluids
Recovery or Processing of Alumina and Clay

Contract Distillation for Industrial Material Streams

In contract distillation, RCN Chemie accepts suitable contaminated solvents, processes them in accordance with agreed-upon requirements, and returns the resulting distillate. Reuse in the production process is contingent upon the solvents meeting the necessary quality standards, specifications, and legal requirements for their intended use.

The possible sequence of events includes:

Assessment of Material Flow and Acceptance Capacity
Pickup or delivery by arrangement
Distillation or Rectification
Quality Assessment of the Distillate
Return or provision for the agreed-upon continued use
