Metals Recovery

At a central laboratory, countless quality control checks, analysis and assays are performed, ensuring we achieve the best value for money for our clients.

We use a 5000 ton capacity smelter & vitrification plant and a refinery to recover precious metals such as silver, gold, palladium and Platinum. We also recover Copper and other non-ferrous metals from smelting operations. 

At the smelter & vitrification plant precious metal materials are melted down at high temperatures. Also ashes, sweeps, fines, meatallics from recovery operations as well as third party recycling companies.

Using waste fuels, high temperature processes are very cost effective avoiding the need for primary fuels: waste to waste the flue gasses from our plant the plant are cleaned in a proprietary scrubber system, using the patented Zero-Option Technology. Thereby meeting the most stringent emissions limits imposed by current EU Legislation.

The raw metals produced are separated electrolytically at the refinery yielding high purity gold, silver, palladium and platinum.

With facilities to return fine delivery precious metals via metal accounts anywhere in the World or sale against LBM prices, we can accommodate all requirements.

Also produced from the smelter plant is a vitrification product called Synthetic Obsidian that meets the criteria for secondary aggregates. It currently has application for example in Ballast for concrete, decorative gravels and glazes.
