A loss of $10,000 a barrel … or a net gain of more than $223,000. Which would you prefer?

THE CLIENT

A major compressor manufacturer uses a silver brazing alloy in a “torch and rod” process that results in a significant quantity of silver brazing splashing to the floor. The floor is then swept and power washed into sumps where the silver settles to prevent discharge into the sewer as a hazardous material.

THE PROBLEM

To avoid significant environmental and regulatory problems, the company paid $10,000 a barrel to have this silver bearing waste removed as a hazardous material.

THE COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION

Lucas-Milhaupt proposed that the company send this waste to us for value recovery. The cost to the company is roughly the same, but instead of simply losing $10,000 a barrel as the cost of doing business, we pay them for their silver. Fairly and quickly.

THE RESULT

During the first nine months of 2006, we paid the client a net gain of more than $223,000 for product that was previously flushed right down the drain.
