SepraMet, Ltd. is a Houston-based metallic chemicals producer. We operate a metals refinery using a hydrometallurgical process and molecular recognition technology licensed from IBC Advanced Technologies, Inc.

SepraMet processes low-grade Pd and Pt bearing materials. Feed materials with high moisture content, as well as Pd/Pt metal solutions, can be readily processed. SepraMet purchases raw materials pursuant to a materials qualifications and evaluation process.

If you have a Pd or Pt bearing industrial catalyst, or other raw materials of a similar nature, we invite your inquiry.

Typical raw materials include used industrial catalysts and other low-grade Pd or Pt materials.

SepraMet's refinery is located in a building with approximately 85,000 square feet (7,900 square meters) on approximately 10 acres in the Jacintoport area of Houston. The facility, in the heart of the Houston petrochemical-chemical industrial complex, is immediately adjacent to I-10 and Beltway 8 on the east side of Houston, and is rail served.

Our Technology

MRT is a highly selective separations technology that uses specially designed organic ligands to extra specific molecules from a solution. IBC’s proprietar SuperLig® products consist of these ligands bonded to solid supports such as silica gel or polymers. The SuperLig® is packed into fixed bed columns. As a solution passes through the SuperLig® packed column, specific molecules are separated from the solution by attaching to the SuperLig® beads (“loading stage”); in the recovery (or elution) stage, the targeted molecules are flushed from the SuperLig® beads.

IBC’s proprietary MRT is in use throughout the world at refineries such as Impala Platinum, Ltd.in South Africa, TKK in Japan and Asarco in the United States.
