Mankind is bestowed with two types of resources for its use.  There are renewable resources and then there are non-renewable ones.  Renewable resources like solar, wind and water are mostly available in unlimited supply at all times, whereas a non-renewable resource such as oil is one which takes millions of years to transform to its present state, but is being used up more quickly than it can replenish itself.

In this blog, we are going to talk about ‘precious metals’ such as gold, silver, platinum and palladium.  Precious metals are metals that are rare and have a high economic value, due to various factors, including their scarcity, use in industrial processes, and role throughout history as a store of value.

While the printing and circulation of money is related to the backup stock of precious metals like gold, there is no erosion into its stock.  However, industrial processes that use these noble metals do consume and cause erosion of the stock during the process.

In industrial and chemical processes, precious metals are used as catalysts to enable organic contaminants to be oxidized to carbon dioxide and water.  The catalyst initiates the combustion reaction, which occurs at a lower temperature than in thermal process and therefore such processes use less fuel than otherwise.  Many systems have removal efficiencies greater than 98%.

The catalysts used in systems for gaseous organic compound control are usually precious base metals or metal salts.  The catalysts can be supported on inert materials such as alumina or ceramics.  For the destruction of organic compound mixtures, a highly active but non-selective catalyst is required.

While the catalyst serves its purpose of fuel efficiency in the operation, thus saving high costs, it sacrifices itself somewhat in the process, getting lost in miniscule forms in the carriers such as activated carbon, charcoal etc. and also losing its weight.

It, therefore, becomes challenging to recover whatever quantity one can by searching for the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Knowing that these precious metals are not easy to replace quickly, not for many centuries and millennia, Haat had taken up the task of finding and preserving these with its specially designed PMR model incinerators.

Thanks to this incinerator system, manufacturers of jewellery items, pharma companies and those that are engaged in recovery of the precious metals use our incinerator systems satisfactorily and successfully over a period of many years.

There are users who have recovered the capital costs in just a matter of few months, because the precious metal recovery improves with this system. This is due to its design and the provision of more than one location for recovery, depending on the equipment configuration chosen.

Today companies in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu swear by the name of Haat because Haat has helped to

Make the system self-sustaining.

Recover expensive and rare metals in good quantities

Contribute to recovering non-renewable resources which would otherwise be lost for ever

We can proudly say, therefore, that we are truly contributing to the preservation of non-renewable natural resources and help Mother Earth retain her products to last longer for generations to come.
