Recovering Energy’s Essential Metals

MOVA Metals recycles spent hydroprocessing catalyst generated by petroleum refineries during the production of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.

 

Over the past 50 years MOVA has established itself as an industry leading producer of high-quality metal commodities by employing a hybrid combination of pyromet and hydromet operations to reclaim cobalt, nickel, molybdenum, and vanadium. The strategic metals that we recover are made into a variety of high-purity specialty products, matching our reclaimed products to the customer’s specifications.

We can supply products for use in specialty chemical and catalyst applications as well as products for critical steel, foundry, and superalloy processes.

MOVA’s enclosed materials handling and transfer system adds flexibility to accept larger volumes of spent catalyst, in all packaging types (rail, bins, rolloff, drums, and supersacks), that allows the plant operations to sustainably reach nameplate capacity and accommodate future planned expansions in throughput to better serve the nation’s petroleum industry.
 
The new materials transfer system features pneumatic unloading for catalyst receipts by rail and hydraulic-assisted bin to roll-off container for catalyst receipts in bins. The result of the logistics upgrades is a reliable, clear representation of throughput with a streamlined and simplified route of catalyst from receipt to the manufacture of end products.
