Tricoya Consortium broke ground for the first phase of construction at the site of the world's first Tricoya wood chip acetylation plant at Saltend Chemical Plant, Hull, the UK, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The plant construction is expected to complete in early 2019, and will provide around 30 permanent jobs and another 130 jobs for the construction period. The local Hull area has received over GBP 3 billion of investment since 2012 creating more than 4000 jobs to date.
The new plant is being funded, built and operated by consortium of companies formed in March 2017 including Accsys Technologies, BP Ventures, BP Chemicals, Mediate and others.
