Catalyst Care Program
ACI’s strengths in catalyst reclamation led it to establish a pioneering program whereby ACI offers reclamation solutions to generators at the time of their fresh catalyst procurement to provide a worldwide “cradle to grave” approach for the responsible handling of catalysts. As part of this program, ACI introduced its Certificate of Consumption and was the first company to offer such documentation for spent catalysts. ACI handles most types of spent catalyst regardless of original manufacturer, and has helped numerous Fortune 500 companies and major industrial companies worldwide with their catalyst disposal problems. ACI Industries is committed to the long-term, environmentally sound handling of your company’s secondary materials.
