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 implement solutions for industrial clients by combining our expertise in process engineering, equipment, product upgrading, and project development. Additionally, we evaluate selective ownership and operational opportunities that align strategically with our goals.
Our experience includes commercial installations, pilot and demonstration programs, feasibility studies, facility upgrades, and independent assessments of existing plants. Each assignment serves a specific purpose, and our case studies highlight the project context, Klean’s role, and the outcomes relevant to each engagement.
Pilot and demonstration facilities are designed to answer specific technical questions. They allow us to test feedstocks, validate assumptions, and generate knowledge that informs our intellectual property and subsequent engineering efforts. We measure their contributions based on their research objectives and the evidence they produce.
Other projects involve facilities that were originally designed, supplied, or constructed by third parties. In these cases, Klean may be engaged later to assess performance, evaluate recovery options, implement improvements, or manage decommissioning. Our case studies detail the original project conditions and Klean’s subsequent contributions, sharing insights to help prevent costly mistakes in future projects.
This extensive experience informs our approach to every new opportunity. We carefully evaluate feedstock security, product specifications, customer demand, permitting requirements, operational capability, and financial capacity before procuring equipment. Our focus is on long-term industrial service, maintainable equipment, and commercially viable products. We select projects where the commitment and development pathway support these objectives.
For our TyreNova tire recycling initiatives, our partnership with KBR combines Klean’s technological expertise with global licensing, engineering, and project delivery capabilities.
The case studies provided here represent a selected public record of our experience. Client permissions and confidentiality obligations dictate what we can publish.
