Technology development, commercial delivery and lessons that strengthen investment decisions.
Klean Industries develops, licenses and integrates technologies that recover valuable resources from waste. We design and deliver solutions for industrial customers, combining process engineering, equipment, product upgrading and project development expertise. We also evaluate selective ownership and operating opportunities where there is a clear strategic fit.
Our experience spans commercial installations, pilot and demonstration programmes, feasibility studies, facility upgrades, and independent assessments of existing plants. These assignments serve different purposes. Each case study identifies the project context, Klean’s role and the outcomes relevant to that engagement.
Pilot and demonstration facilities answer defined technical questions. They test feedstocks, validate assumptions and generate knowledge that informs intellectual property and subsequent engineering. Their contribution is measured against their research objectives and the evidence they produce.
Other assignments involve facilities originally designed, supplied or constructed by third parties. Klean may be engaged later to assess performance, evaluate recovery options, implement improvements or manage decommissioning. These case studies explain the original project conditions and Klean’s subsequent contribution, sharing lessons that can help prevent costly mistakes elsewhere.
That experience informs our approach to every new opportunity. We assess feedstock security, product specifications, customer demand, permitting, operating capability and financial capacity before advancing equipment procurement. Our focus is long-term industrial service, maintainable equipment and commercially viable products. We select engagements where the commitment and development pathway support those objectives.
For TyreNova tire recycling projects, our alliance with KBR connects Klean’s technology expertise with global licensing, engineering and project delivery capabilities.
The case studies presented here are a selected public record of our experience. Client permissions and confidentiality obligations determine what we can publish.
