Metals refiner Gannon & Scott Inc., Cranston, Rhode Island, will introduce its TRu3TecTM thermal reduction system, which it says can recover precious metals from residual plating wastes with high efficiency, at SUR/FIN 2017 in Atlanta, June 19-21, at booth 524.

The new system at the company’s Cranston metals recovery facility can process combustible materials with even a low percentage of precious metals, such as ion exchange resins, plating filters and rags. It operates at relatively low temperatures to reduce the formation of hazardous byproducts and features advanced environmental controls to further reduce waste emissions, according to the company.

“Responsible recycling is increasingly important to OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and can affect their choice of supplier. Our goal is to recover as much value as possible for surface finishers and to help them meet sustainability goals,” says National Sales Manager Kristine Murphy.

The TRu3Tec system is part of a portfolio of services for metal plating operations for fully processing scrap from reel-to-reel and barrel plating, plating wire and stamped scrap, focus materials such as spent cathodes and plated parts requiring chemical stripping, as well as the safe processing of wastewater sludge and plating solutions.

Gannon & Scott also offers sampling and analytical services through its in-house commercial precious metals laboratory.

The new, three-stage TRu3Tec thermal reduction system features environmental and process controls designed by Gannon & Scott for its metals recovery facility in Phoenix. Pollution controls for the Tru3Tec system includes quenching, cyclonic separation, wet scrubbing of exhaust gases and dust collection. (Both plants are zero-discharge facilities for processing wastewater sludge and plating solutions, according to the company.)       

While thermal reduction has been used for decades to recover gold, silver, platinum, palladium and other high-value metals and precious metal alloys from manufacturing scrap and recycled products, traditional combustion furnaces operate without advanced pollution controls.

Gannon & Scott serves customers across North America, processing materials containing precious metals and other high-value metals at its facilities in Phoenix and in Cranston.
