Claros Technologies, Inc. has achieved a breakthrough in tackling persistent environmental pollutants. The company completed a large-scale commercial optimization run of its ClarosTechUV system at Daikin America’s facility in Decatur, Alabama. This marks the move from pilot testing to full commercial readiness for industrial PFAS destruction.
Michelle Bellanca, CEO and Co-Founder of Claros, said, “This is a turning point for PFAS management. Our ClarosTechUV platform delivers advanced, commercial-scale destruction for high-flow industrial wastewater, showing that effective and sustainable solutions are possible.” She highlighted the role of Daikin America in helping bring the technology to industrial reality.
Commercial-Scale Performance Confirmed
The optimization run validated the system under real industrial conditions.
The results were impressive.
Key Advantages of ClarosTechUV
The platform offers several benefits:
- Effective across all PFAS chain lengths
- Extremely high destruction efficiency
- High-throughput processing
- Compact design for existing facilities
- Safe, UV-based operation
These features make ClarosTechUV a practical, scalable solution for industrial PFAS destruction and sustainable manufacturing globally.
From Pilot Testing to Industrial Validation
This milestone confirms ClarosTechUV as the first field-tested, industrially validated PFAS destruction platform ready for commercial deployment.
Through collaboration with Daikin America and other industrial partners, Claros has processed over half a million gallons of PFAS-containing water, consistently achieving verified destruction across different water chemistries and concentrations.
Next Steps Toward Full-Scale Deployment
With commercial optimization complete, Claros and Daikin America are now developing detailed engineering plans for the world’s first full-scale industrial PFAS destruction installation.
David Hendrixson, Executive Vice President of Daikin, said, “Full-scale PFAS destruction is no longer theoretical. Partnering with Claros, whose ClarosTechUV system is ready for industrial use, proves how innovation and collaboration can deliver measurable environmental progress.”
