HOW WE DO IT
Why We’re More Sustainable
Most legacy refining processes take place in heavily industrial facilities, well away from the local community due to the environmentally hostile byproducts that resulted.
AUR’s clean technologies and state of the art facility located in Phoenix, Arizona, produces efficient and high-quality end products. Our goal to have zero pollutants emitted from the operations.
AUR’s newest generation of digital pollution technologies monitors all processes 24 hours per day. As a secondary back-up, our on-site environmental and metallurgical labs validates all discharges before entering those systems.
Our in-line treatment plant filters all process pollutants through an:
- Integrated wastewater treatment system
- High-efficiency chemical fumes scrubber system
- Alkaline neutralization system
- Dust particulate treatment system
- Total dissolved solids (TDS) treatment system
HOW WE DO IT
How We Measure Quality
Unlike most metals refining operations, AUR features our own ultra-modern laboratory on site. Our technicians can easily access materials at any stage of our process, testing them for quality and purity with zero margin for error. At that point they record and report these results for you to view securely, on demand through our customer portal. As a result, you get higher quality end products more quickly.
