MOVA Metals is a global technology leader in the recovery of critical metals and innovator in renewable energy. Having serviced the oil refinery industry since 1973, MOVA is the world’s largest recycler of spent petroleum catalysts. We use hydrometallurgical operations to produce the pure oxides of molybdenum and vanadium. These unique patented operations allow us the flexibility to optimize metal content in spent catalyst.

Our processes deliver a sustainable alternative to landfilling and exporting of hazardous materials. We are the leading Verified Recycler and Reclamation Facility of spent catalyst globally. The process recovers molybdenum and vanadium that are then reused in chemical and metallurgical applications by major catalyst producers, steel and battery manufacturers.
