Solvent recovery
Quad/Graphics operates the Top 4 best-performing gravure facilities in the industry as far as percentage rate of solvent recovery and pounds recovered vs. released.
A number of Quad’s gravure pressrooms are engineered to be permanent total enclosures, so 100 percent of solvent-laden air is captured and 99+ percent recovered. In 2009, the solvent recovery systems in our Lomira, Wis.; Martinsburg, W.Va.; and Oklahoma City, Okla., gravure pressrooms averaged 99.48 percent efficiency, which is considerably above the standard of 92 percent required by the EPA and the 96.86 percent industry average.
