Environmental Leadership
AMG Vanadium's operations, our personnel, and the very nature of our products and services have a proven track record of environmental stewardship. We are a partner to North America's metals and refinery industries, offering an environmentally responsible "full-circle" solution that promotes the intelligent use and conservation of natural resources.
AMG Vanadium is committed to continued environmental improvement.
We are proud to have a full-time Environmental Manager on staff at our Cambridge, Ohio facility, and a material handling system designed with strict environmental controls. Our operations produce NO liquid waste stream, and minimal solid waste. Our EPA air permit and integrated safeguards demonstrate our commitment to leading-edge environmental standards. Our operations produce extremely low levels of sulfur
dioxide emissions, and our flue gas desulfurization unit allows even tighter sulfur
dioxide control.
Both our
disposition of spent refinery catalysts for the refinery industry and our production of quality vanadium-based alloying products for the steel industry are designed around tightly controlled and streamlined material-handling protocols.
Raw materials are safely warehoused in our enclosed storage facility. Metal-bearing raw materials - including fly ash and virtually all types of hydroprocessing catalysts - are processed directly into finished alloying products. This eliminates the environmental risks
associated with land disposal. For spent catalysts in particular, this permanent disposition is much safer than landfill solutions.
We are a RCRA facility for K171/172 hydrotreating/hydrorefining catalysts.
In addition to possessing a
Hazardous Waste Facility
Installation and Operation Permit,
AMG Vanadium has been issued a
K171/K172 Variance from
Classification as a Waste. The
Ohio EPA issued Variance allows AMG
Vanadium to accept K171/K172 spent
refinery catalyst as a raw material. AMG Vanadium's use of secondary metal-bearing raw materials also reduces the need for new mines. Our "full-circle" solution and the flexibility of our pyrometallurgical process
enables us to utilize a wide range of vanadium-bearing materials, turning them into high-quality metallurgical products, and reducing their ultimate impact on the environment.
