Oil and gas infrastructure is built to perform under pressure, and rubber bonded components play a significant role in making that possible. Vibration isolating mounts, rubber bonded valve components, flexible assemblies, and rubber to metal bonded fittings are used throughout upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. When these components are pulled for replacement or taken out of service during decommissioning, they carry metal value that general scrap disposal does not capture.
PolyMet Recovery specializes in debonding and denuding rubber from metal components, recovering the underlying metal cleanly regardless of how tightly the rubber has been bonded or how long the assembly has been in service. For oil and gas operators and maintenance contractors, this means that rubber bonded scrap generated through routine operations or large-scale decommissioning projects has a proper reclamation outlet rather than ending up in a landfill or a mixed scrap pile priced well below its actual value.
We provide collection logistics, intake documentation, and per-collection settlement statements that support environmental reporting and waste tracking requirements. Decommissioning projects in particular benefit from a pre-engagement material assessment, which gives project managers a realistic estimate of the reclamation value available from rubber bonded components before the project gets underway.
