Benzene (C6H6)
Benzene occurs naturally in crude oil and natural gas
and is generated from volcanoes and forest fires as a byproduct of combustion.
Benzene is a known human carcinogen and emissions should be reduced or removed from the open environment at every opportunity.
Benzene is classed as an
aromatic hydrocarbon
which includes
BTX isomers such as benzene (C6H6), toluene (C7H8), and xylene (C8H10).
Benzene is widely used as a
solvent
and is consumed in the production of
dyes, paint, adhesives, detergents, explosives, lubricants, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides.
Benzene is an integral component in rubbers, plastics, resins, nylon and synthetic fibers.
Benzene Emissions
Benzene emissions are generated as a by-product of the combustion of tobacco in cigarettes,
burning coal, oil, gas and from motor vehicle exhaust.
Industrial sources of Benzene
emissions
from general process byproducts, Glycol Dehydrators and
benzol which is produced during carbonization of coking coal.
Benzene Vapour Recovery Systems have been traditionally used to capture and reduce emissions.
Benzene is a product of the
pyrolysis
process, and is found in systems utilized for
recovering rubber tires and waste plastics.
Efforts to reduce toxicity in the environment by neutralizing harmful emissions and substances like
Benzene and aromatic
Hydrocarbons
are an important step to achieve Sustainable environmental equilibrium.
Green Markets
We believe in the potential of a Green Markets, a
Waste Regeneration
service based on the benefits and environmental impact
of removing harmful substances and neutralizing emissions.
Aromatic Hydrocarbon Recycling
If you wish to recycle spent Benzene, Toluene, Xylene or aromatic hydrocarbons,
please add your inquiry to the
solvent recovery
exchange.
