The recyclers I have  and have demoed (BR, CBG) are able to operate with normal room ventilation. The only real concern is the storage of the flammable bottles. Your local fire department should be contacted to see what local regulations are for this.

Subject: xylene recyclers

Hello Histonetters:

I was recently asked a question by our Facilities Management department about our xylene recycler. They wanted to know what were the requirements for the room that the recycler is in as far as fire safety is concerned.  I thought I would ask the best looking people on the Internet what they are doing in own laboratories.  In the meantime I will check in with the NFPA on this.

Can't wait to hear from you;
