Industry's only closed-loop system
Positioning based on renewable energy mix and solvent recovery design
Q&T's factory is powered by main grid electricity, utilizing Vietnam's renewable energy mix. In Vietnam, renewable electricity accounts for 44-48% of the power generation mix, with hydroelectric power representing 34% of the total renewable electricity share. This structured power profile reduces production emissions and supports documented lifecycle reduction claims published for polymer currency programmes.
World First — Only polymer substrate plant that does not burn or discharge solvents
X-CSR System
Emit solvent-laden air
Air filtered and cooled before entering adsorbers
2 skids × 4 adsorbers capture solvent vapours
Filtered air exits — near-zero VOC emissions
5-phase cycle: Inertize → Preheat → Heat to → Vacuum extract → Cool
C-201 splits → Molecular sieves remove water → C-202 (7 bar) → C-203
High-purity recovered solvents — ready for reuse
All process water recirculated — closed water loop
Closed loop complete — directly to tanks
Industry's highest solvent capture rate, minimizing atmospheric impact.
SCADA monitoring, auto-reset within 15 minutes of any alarm or interruption.
Preheating mode transfers waste heat between adsorbers, saving thermal energy.
Carbon heated to precise temperature by nitrogen flow, then cooled to 35°C — ready for the next adsorption cycle.
Production waste is directed into defined recycling pathways
Recovered solvents replace purchased inputs directly
Waste heat transferred between adsorbers reduces energy
Cooling tower water recirculated within plant
Every input has an output. Every byproduct has a use. Q&T's production process is engineered to close every loop — from solvents to water to heat. We believe industrial scale shouldn't mean industrial waste.
