LEWIS & CLARK SECTION
MEETING SUMMARY
Portland, Oregon
On 12 September, 2017 nine members and guests of the Lewis & Clark
Section met at Flying Pie Pizzeria for a presentation by Gordon Bathurst,
senior vice president of Metafix, Inc. Bathurst reviewed the history of
silver recovery from film processing, which helps users meet federal and
local wastewater discharge requirements, as well as producing a revenue
stream from the recovered silver. Bathurst presented a new technology that
is much more efficient in terms of percentage of silver reclaimed and
manpower requirements to maintain the system, along with the footprint
required for the equipment itself. The members present enjoyed the
presentation and the gourmet pizza dinner sponsored by Test Equipment
Distributors.
