Maximize Efficiency and Control with Software Built for Your Business
If you purchase scrapped Automobile Catalytic Converters and recover Platinum Group Metals
(PGM), specifically Platinum (Pt), Palladium (Pd) and Rhodium (Rh) and/or you are involved in the
smelting or further downstream processing of auto catalysts, Computer Associates (CAI) can help
with a range of software and services to the different players in the market.
From the receipt of the spent ceramic and metallic catalytic converters to final financial return, CAI’s
NAV for PM Recycling software helps our customers improve efficiencies, processing accuracy and the
service they provide their customers. With NAV, you’ll get superior overall value and the highest yield
for your autocatalyst refining lots.
Because catalytic converters tend to vary widely in terms of their precious metal content, initial
measurements must be precise. NAV tracks all sampling and your specific assaying procedures to:



determine each sub-lot’s exact chemical composition;
obtain an accurate quantities of recoverable platinum, palladium, and rhodium;
identify if the precious metal is free from cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) or other hazardous contaminants materials contained in
refining lots.
As lots of raw catalytic converters are received they are separated into individual sub-lots based on the characteristics
of the material, converter type and associated precious metals content prior to being processed. Every consigned batch
is processed separately to generate an accurate return to the customer.
