Technip wins old tyres to jet fuel recycling plant

Site clearance has got underway for a £100m plant to convert old tyres into jet fuel.
The Sunderland Waste Tyre Processing Facility development is situated within the East Dock of the Port of Sunderland and is a former hydrocarbon tank farm.
Engineering construction specialist Technip has secured the job to build the new plant, which will have the capacity to process up to 73,000 tonnes of end-of-life tyres a year into around 24,000t of recovered carbon black (rCB) as well as up to 32,000t
