Vilokan designs, engineers, and manufacturers highly effective and energy efficient Environmental Technology Solutions for continuous recycling, purification, and reuse of water and liquid solvent raw materials. (The liquids can be recycled an infinite number of times.) Sustainable Closed-Loop Recycling Systems enable industrial manufacturing companies to minimize their ongoing liquid replenishment and waste disposal costs, as well as significantly reducing their carbon footprint. Other applications include collecting Type I Aircraft Deicing fluids (ADF) used in Commercial Aviation at airports during Winter Operations and turning the reclaimed raw material glycol fluid from collected stormwater into AMS 1424 certified Type I Deicing fluid which can be done an infinite number of times. This closed-loop recycling process solution provides a continuous Type I deicing fluid supply on-site at airports which significantly lowers the risk of running out of fluid, carbon footprint, and municipal stormwater waste treatment costs. Vilokan uses its own proprietary software to maximize the operational and energy usage efficiency of their recycling equipment system integrations. Support Services include equipment installation, ongoing recycling facility operations, and parts & service. The Vilokan team is dedicated to preserving the Earth's finite resources for future generations.
