The Industrial Services Division of Deborah Services Limited has recently been awarded the Access Contract for the Vivergo Fuels Project at BP’s Saltend in Hull. Initial works has now commenced and is expected to continue until December 2010 with a value of circa £3 million.

The Vivergo Fuels Project is a joint venture between BP, British Sugar, and Dupont and the building of the plant is being managed by Aker Solutions, with an overall project build cost at circa £200 million.

When complete the plant will process 1.1 million tonnes of locally produced wheat annually to produce ½ million tonnes of high protein animal feed and 420 million litres of bio ethanol fuel.

The process if waste free and the CO² emissions of vehicles using the bio ethanol will be absorbed by the wheat grown for the plant.
