Refinery & Petrochemical Spent Catalyst Recovery

Artios Metals works with industrial generators and qualified downstream markets to develop recovery routes for spent catalysts, catalyst residues, specialty alloys and related secondary materials.

Industrial streams

Catalyst and material streams.

Refineries and petrochemical plants generate catalyst and metal-bearing streams that require material-specific technical, commercial and regulatory evaluation.

Turnaround planning

Supporting planned change-outs and recurring generation.

Early technical review can help identify suitable downstream markets before material movement begins.

  • Estimated generation quantity
  • Expected availability date
  • Current or planned packaging
  • Assay and SDS data
  • Facility and material location
  • Material and transport classification
  • Known contaminants and physical condition
  • Prior recovery history where available

Before movement

Material review before shipment.

Artios evaluates the commercial and downstream fit before shipment. This helps avoid routing material to a facility that cannot accept the chemistry, physical form, classification or lot size.

Commercial discipline

Responsible execution.

Artios uses a material-specific approach that considers origin, ownership, documentation, counterparty diligence, downstream suitability and transaction requirements.

Qualified services

Commercial coordination with specialist providers.

Where transport, sampling, physical processing or regulated waste services are needed, they are performed by appropriately qualified providers.
