Sustainable and compliant syngas waste disposal solution systems

Solutions for Syngas Production Byproducts

Partnering with Syngas Producers

The Amlon Group collaborates with syngas producers to implement forward-thinking waste management practices that embody our vision of converting environmental obstacles into sustainable advantages.

INDUSTRY CHALLENGES

The production of synthesis gas creates multiple residual streams requiring expert handling, particularly from catalyst systems and reforming equipment. Our integrated approach addresses these challenges.

Catalyst Reclamation and Processing

We specialize in recovering valuable metals from spent catalysts critical to syngas production:

Nickel Reformer Catalysts: Complete processing of spent steam reforming catalysts to recover nickel while managing other support materials
Copper and Copper/Zinc Catalysts: Advanced separation techniques to reclaim copper and zinc from water-gas shift and methanol synthesis catalysts
Iron Chrome Catalysts: Specialized processing for high-temperature water-gas shift catalysts, extracting iron and chromium for reuse

Reformer Equipment Recovery

Our facilities process end-of-life equipment from syngas operations:

Spent Reformer Tubes: Comprehensive recycling of high-nickel alloy reformer tubes (typically containing 25-35% nickel), recovering valuable heat-resistant alloys
Catalyst-Containing Equipment: Processing of reactors and vessels with catalyst residues
High-Temperature Alloy Components: Recovery of valuable metals from furnace components and piping systems

AMLON ADVANTAGE

We convert additional manufacturing residuals into beneficial resources using our advanced processing technologies. Our facilities handle solidified byproducts, extract valuable metals, and generate usable materials that decrease dependence on new resources.

Impurity Processing

Amlon’s facilities are designed to process the impurities present in syngas production waste, including carbon deposits, sulfur compounds, and metallic contaminants from catalyst deactivation. Through tailored treatment protocols, we safely extract these substances while ensuring adherence to environmental standards.

BENEFITS

Our sustainability commitment permeates all operations. For syngas manufacturers, we deliver tailored solutions with:

Advanced Processing Capabilities

Our facilities employ specialized technologies to manage diverse syngas production residuals, including:

Thermal desorption for catalyst recovery
Hydrometallurgical processing for complex catalyst systems
Pyrometallurgical treatment for high-nickel alloy recycling
Separation technologies for multi-metal catalyst systems
Wastewater treatment and metal recovery

Catalyst-Specific Expertise

Our team understands the unique challenges of syngas catalyst management:

Safe handling of spent catalysts with potential pyrophoric properties
Processing of deactivated catalysts containing carbon and sulfur deposits
Recovery optimization for specific catalyst formulations
Secure processing while maintaining the confidentiality of proprietary technologies

Expert Guidance

Our specialists collaborate with manufacturers to create tailored waste strategies that enhance operational performance while furthering sustainability objectives, particularly for planned catalyst changeouts and equipment replacement cycles.

Environmental Assistance

We assist syngas producers through intricate waste regulations specific to catalyst handling and equipment disposal to minimize administrative complexity.
