sounds like "filtered" formalin to me.

Subject: recycling system


Does anyone use the formalin recycling system from Creative Waste Solutions?
The company claims it will recycle formalin without the use of electricity
or heating.  You "simply dump dirty formalin into funnel and it recycles
dirty formalin via gravity."  The system gives you back the same volume and
concentration of formalin - no need to "rebuffer."

They also have an alcohol recycling system and xylene recycling pads that
remove alcohol and water form your xylene.

Any comments?
