Shropshire based firm JACOB (UK) who's UK Headquarters is in Church Stretton, south Shropshire has won a major contract which involved supplying a modular pipework system to an advanced recycling and composting plant in County Durham.

This facility is ‘composting’ on an industrial scale processing 60,000 tonnes of un-segregated household rubbish per year.

Boss Peter Broadhurst explained: “This is a Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) plant using aerobic digestion to transform bin waste to compost in just 6 days. The plant was modified using modular pipework supplied by Jacob UK to ensure the statutory Animal Health requirements were routinely met.”

Jacob UK engineers worked hard to design and manufacture the galvanised steel pipework to the engineering standards required.
