Solumet MP can provide tailor made toll conversion services for your recycling needs. These services include:

Toll Processing of specific by-products or metal oxides:

  1. Stainless steel fines generated by stainless steel smelters can be combined into one sintercake product that can be 100% recycled back into the smelting operations. Materials that can be recycled include EAF dust, AOD dust, Millscale, Swarf, Grindings, floorsweeps, turnings, shot blast dust, etc.
  2. Conversion of Ni-alloy grindings and dust into a Ni-alloy sintercake.
  3. Conversion of moly-oxide into moly metal sintercake.
  4. Many more options exist. Let us help you design the best possible toll processing program for your needs.

Solumet MP and the environment

Solumet MP’s unique recycling process enables us to revalorize thousands of tons of material destined to landfill every year. This not only reduces the environmental impact and valuable landfill space, but replaces metal units originating from primary mining operations.

  • In 10 years of operations, we have processed more than 150 000 tons of material without generating any residual waste.
  • Solumet MP’s pollution control equipment is tested on a yearly basis and adheres to provincial and federal regulations.
  • Solumet MP regularly undergoes successful customer audits from partners in the Ni alloy and aeronautical industry. Our facility has undergone a review by CHWMEG, Inc, a non-profit trade association comprised of manufacturing and other “industrial” companies interested in efficiently managing the waste management aspects of their environmental stewardship programs (www.chwmeg.org). The report can be made available upon request.
