Yes, you can recycle Bromothane™.
In the old days of fluorinated and chlorinated solvents, many companies developed a thriving business in reclaiming solvents. They would pick up your exhausted solvent, distill it and purify it, and then re-sell it at a reduced cost. This was an excellent program because it allowed companies to re-use perfectly good solvent that otherwise would have been disposed.
Today's Bromothane™ works exactly the same way, except that fewer companies have yet invested in stills and reclaiming systems for the solvent. Over time, we fully expect more and more companies will jump on this bandwagon because it's a great service and there are decent profits to be made.
As an aside, remember that every vapor degreaser is a still in addition to being a vapor cleaning system. That means that every vapor degreaser automatically recycles and reclaims the solvent while it is operating.
Under normal conditions, prior to cleaning and dumping of contaminated solvent, the degreaser is used to concentrate the contamination into the boil sump. (This is called "boil down.") In this way, users reclaim most of the solvent for re-use, which minimizes waste disposal.
If you need the name of a company that offers a solvent reclamation service, contact MicroCare.
