In modern plants substantial amounts of precious metal catalysts are retained in the heat recovery train and large quantities of precious metals can be recovered from spent heat exchangers. Also, there are various non-destructive cleaning methods which enable the recovery of precious metals during normal plant turnarounds or stoppages, whilst also improving heat transfer and plant throughput.
