<p>[QUOTE=&quot;swagge1, post: 991622, member: 22402&quot;]Desertgem, I am pretty sure that the silver has to be removed from the ceramic to be reclaimed.&nbsp; The reason I believe this is the case is because due to the nature of the catalyst removal process the ceramic is often crushed, chipped, and severely damaged.&nbsp; The fresh catalyst that we receive is nice and uniform like in the pictures above.&nbsp; Also, the ceramic carrier has been changing shape slightly over the past few catalyst changes which means that it is indeed a new ceramic.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as EO being extremely volatile, flammable, and a poison to all living things, we take great care and caution at work to keep it inside the pipes and run our units within design parameters to keep leaks and runaway reactions from happening.&nbsp; We have EO monitors throughout the units that detect as low as 1 PPM EO in air.&nbsp; Here are 2 interesting EO videos.</p><p><br /></p><p>This first video shows an EO explosion at a sterilization plant in Canada in 2004.&nbsp; It only took a few lbs of EO to destroy the inside of the building.</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2UnKLm2Eag" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2UnKLm2Eag" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2UnKLm2Eag</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This second video gives me the goosebumps.&nbsp; This is a video of a freight train going through a tornado and derailing. The white car you see throwing sparks everywhere and hitting the locomotive was a fully loaded EO rail car that was loaded at our site.&nbsp; There is some speculation is this was an EO car or a &quot;shock fluid&quot; car.&nbsp; Either way, an EO rail car from that tornado train derailment came back to our site all wrecked up and on a flatbed rail car.&nbsp; We had to purge it out so it could be repaired.</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WADnriWzJes" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WADnriWzJes" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WADnriWzJes</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
