Feasibility-first engineering — why we test before we quote
Generic chemistry quotes are how recovery projects fail. Here's the feasibility process PolyGO runs on every new feedstock before recommending a single drum.
The fastest way to lose money on a recovery line is to buy chemistry that was specified against a different feedstock. Mineralogy, contaminants, particle size and prior processing all change what a leaching or stripping product will actually do in your reactor.
Our answer is a structured feasibility study on every new engagement, before any commercial commitment.
What the study covers
We characterise the feedstock — physical form, metal grade, contaminant profile. We run bench-scale recovery using candidate PolyGO products against a representative sample of your material. We measure yield, purity, reagent consumption, and the behaviour of the spent stream.
The deliverable is a short report with a recommended chemistry, a projected yield curve, a dosing schedule, and an honest read on the line economics. Sometimes the recommendation is don't build the line — that is also a result the study can give you.
Why this matters
It means the chemistry we ship has already been validated on your actual material. It means the economics we present are defensible. And it means we get to keep our reference list clean — every PolyGO deployment is one we backed with a feasibility study first.
