Mitsubishi Becomes 'First' to License Mura's HydroPRS Recycling Process from KBR

摘要

Houston— Mura Technology and KBR announced an agreement for Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. (MCC) to be the "first" to license the HydroPRS (Hydrothermal Plastic Recycling Solution) process in Japan (PCN, 18 Jan 2021, p 1). Mura's HydroPRS process utilizes its Cat-HTR technology, which employs supercritical water, heat and pressure to convert waste plastics into valuable chemicals and oils by breaking down the long-chain hydrocarbons and donating hydrogen to produce shorter-chain, stable hydrocarbon products for use in the production of new plastic and other materials, according to Mura's website.
