Paint spray booth emissions control process

摘要

A method for continuously removing volatile organic paint carriers from paint spray booths is disclosed. By the process described, an oil-in-water emulsion is used to contact oversprayed paint in the paint spray booth. The emulsion is then broken and the oil phase is distilled to recover volatile components. The non-volatile components of the oil phase and recovered water are then recombined to form an emulsion and recycled to the paint spray booth.
