Recently, Verantis finished work on a precious metal recovery solution in the U.S. for a large European multinational business with operations in over 80 countries around the globe. Included in this fully scoped system was a quench, one scrubber, recirculation pumps, a fully integrated instrumentation and controls system, and field service support including equipment inspection, start-up sequence review and programming sequence review.
Thermal deconstruction is a type of precious metal recovery however, for this solution to be viable, a system capable of reliably recovering the precious metal particulate from the items being destroyed is a must. Verantis makes this solution possible. In very simple terms, as items like batteries and microchips are burned and destroyed, they emit hot toxic gases, these gases are collected and cooled by our quench system then scrubbed of contaminants. This allows precious metal particulate, like gold, silver, lithium, manganese, cobalt, and nickel to be recovered and clean air to be expelled.
With proactive supply chain leverage our team was able to secure the materials necessary to ensure the system was delivered on-time and assist in getting the system up and running ahead of schedule. I couldn’t be prouder of our team and their ability to consistently produce custom solutions efficiently and meet our customers’ needs in an expedited fashion regardless of external factors.
