SEVERAL GOALS MUST BE CONSIDERED CONCURRENTLY WHEN DEVELOPING SOLVENT EMISSION CONTROL PLANS. THIS PAPER REVIEWS THE BEST MEANS OF REACHING THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE CONTROL STRATEGY, THE SYSTEMS HOUSE APPROACH. ALSO PRESENTED IS A STATE-OF-THE-ART SOLVENT SEPARATION TECHNOLOGY, HYDROPHOBIC ZEOLITE ABSORBENT. HYRDROPHOBIC ZEOLITE HAS MANY CHARACTERISTICS WHICH ENABLE THE USER TO ELIMINATE PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT, MAKING A SOLVENT EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM EASIER TO USE AND LESS EXPENSIVE TO INSTALL AND OPERATE, WHILE MAINTAINING OR IMPROVING SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. AN EXAMPLE ILLUSTRATES THE IMPACT THE SYSTEMS HOUSE APPROACH AND HYDROPHOBIC ZEOLITE CAN HAVE ON A COMPLETE SOLVENT EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM.
