On February 28, 2023, Clariter, a company at the forefront of sustainable technology, formed a strategic collaboration agreement with Flowserve Corporation, a significant provider of flow control services and products for the global infrastructure markets, to improve the production of Clariter's eco-friendly petrochemicals from plastic waste.
Clariter's chemical upcycling technology, which is proprietary, serves as a complement to other conventional recycling techniques. The unique process converts most plastic waste streams into new crude oil-free products suitable for use in industrial and consumer settings. These sustainable oils, waxes, and solvents produced by Clariter meet the highest industry purity standards, are graded for food contact, and surpass the benchmarks of their fossil-based counterparts.
To facilitate the expansion of Clariter's commercial production plants, Flowserve will offer its flow-control knowledge, optimal equipment sizing, and commissioning assistance as part of the long-term collaboration agreement.
Flowserve and Clariter have partnered to work on Clariter's commercial-scale chemical recycling facilities, with Flowserve providing flow control expertise and support and supplying pumps, valves, seals, and RedRaven products. After constructing the first four facilities, Clariter will continue to source aftermarket services and parts from Flowserve. The two firms also plan future collaboration on developing sustainable formulations for pump and valve lubrication made from recycled plastic waste.
