With a proven track record of pioneering industrial-scale resource recovery, Klean Industries’ newest technology sets a new benchmark for efficiency, environmental impact, and profitability in the waste management and alternative energy sectors.

Klean provides its customers world-class product services, cutting-edge technology, and quality workmanship. Klean Industries continues to focus on new technology innovations and product development, thus adding a competitive edge through our research, development, and production teams. 

With an ever-growing demand for our ecosystem and a changing global climate, Klean Industries is focusing on developing sustainable ecological commerce models every day. A central component of Klean Industries’ campaign is to build strategic partnerships with universities, research institutions, and private industry to solve our unmet environmental and energy needs and drive future growth for the Company.

An example of this effort includes Klean Industries offering sponsorship to universities involved in global climate and clean energy projects. We believe in a long-term research collaboration with many universities, research institutions, and private industry leaders. Our idea about this developed in 2003. Our ongoing projects connect scientific researchers committed to sustainable development that will lower greenhouse gas emissions and promote a healthier environment.

In addition to offering support, Klean Industries researchers lend their extensive expertise and knowledge of energy systems to specific research initiatives. Specific technical areas covered include hydrogen, solar energy, biomass energy, advanced combustion, CO2 capture and separation, CO2 storage, energy storage, and advanced materials and catalysts.

In partnership with technology partners, research centers such as the Aomori Ecological Recycle Industrial Association in Japan started manufacturing a road de-icing agent that employs large amounts of scallop shells generated as a seafood processing by-product in Aomori Prefecture. It began production in March 2007 and plans to process 6,000 tons of scallop shells annually.

These scientists continue to work on innovation breakthroughs and bring our technology developments closer to our customers. Aomori Prefecture is one of Japan’s major scallop-producing areas, which discards about 50,000 tons of scallop shells as industrial waste annually. Industry, academic, and government researchers joined forces to help promote the regional industry by employing this underutilized biomass resource. Aomori Industrial Research Center, Joy World Pacific Co., New Land Development Lab., Aomori Ecological Recycle Industrial Association, and Kitasato University together developed the new de-icing agent.

Aomori Prefecture gets a lot of snow, and chlorine-based de-icers such as calcium chloride have been used to de-ice roads. These agents pose a risk to the local ecosystem. In contrast, the newly developed scallop shell de-icer is non-chlorine-based and eco-friendly, raising hopes that it can help solve current ecological problems caused by conventional de-icers.
