Services
Thermal Reduction
Our thermal reduction system processes PM-bearing materials into concentrated ash for further refining. With the largest burning capacity on the East Coast, we ensure efficient preparation for induction melting or chemical digestion. This service maximizes recovery value while maintaining environmental compliance through controlled emissions and waste management.
Chemical Processing
We chemically process complex materials like cyanide solutions, semiconductor tooling, and electroplated substrates. Our facility handles acid-based solutions and high-grade items for digestion or stone recovery. This service optimizes value extraction from industrial waste streams while adhering to strict safety and environmental protocols for hazardous material handling.
Asset Resale
Our equipment D-manufacturing service disassembles end-of-life industrial machinery for component recovery. We specialize in extracting reusable precious metals from retired manufacturing equipment. This service provides clients with revenue recovery from obsolete assets while ensuring responsible disposal of non-recyclable materials through certified waste channels.
Induction Melting
We process concentrated ash and scrap metals through induction melting to extract high-purity precious metals. This service achieves maximum recovery rates for gold, silver, and platinum group metals from pre-processed materials. Our advanced furnaces ensure consistent quality while maintaining energy efficiency and emissions compliance during the smelting process.
Base Metals Recycling
We recycle base metals including copper, aluminum, and steel from industrial waste streams. This service complements our precious metal refining capabilities by processing mixed material batches. Our sorting and separation technologies ensure maximum recovery efficiency while maintaining material purity standards for downstream manufacturing applications.
