Patented Sampling System For Best Possible Returns

Patented Sampling System for Best Possible Returns

Considering the high prices of Platinum Group Metals (PGM), a proven sampling process is critical for minimising loss and attaining accurate value assessment. Our Engineering Team has developed an automated sampling system that is proven to process spent catalytic converters with greater efficiency, faster speed and lesser wastage than conventional bulk sampling systems. This system received 4 patents from the National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) of the People’s Republic of China, attesting our commitment to delivering the best returns for our customers’ scrap catalytic converters.

We have in place a rigorous Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for our sampling process to ensure all catalytic converters, diesel particulate filters and other PGM scraps are processed, sampled and analyzed with the highest levels of care and transparency.

For gold and silver secondary materials, we have also set up an equally stringent set of processes for analysis and recovery.

We strongly encourage all our customers to visit our facility and witness the processing and analysis of their catalytic converters and precious metals scraps. The entire sampling process is also fully documented and samples are also available for independent analysis upon request.

Strategic Collaboration with World’s Leading Refineries

BR Metals works with some of the world’s leading PGM refineries. We select the most efficient one based on our analysis results so that you get the best possible returns for your materials.

Precise Analysis for Your Spent Catalytic Converters & Precious Metals Scraps

For value-based settlement, the analysis stage is where the quantity and value of precious metals like Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium in spent catalytic converters and other scraps are determined.

Our analysis laboratories in Guangzhou and Singapore are equipped to provide precise PGM analysis that is key to transparent value assessment. Our teams of chemical specialists and technicians have both the professional expertise and hands-on knowledge to perform both XRF and ICP-OES assay analysis of catalytic converters and other precious metals scraps by both XRF. In fact, we developed a proprietary Standard Based Function Point Analysis (FPA) method to determine the precious metals content using XRF technology with better cost efficiency and speed.

To ensure our assay methodology continues to meet the most stringent international standards, our chemists frequently participate in international Round Robin tests, where our assay results consistently match up with top refineries and internationally renowned analytic laboratories. This means you can depend on us to provide precise and reliable assay of your precious metal scraps with total peace of mind.
