Hydrodec to build UK's first oil re-refinery

Peel Ports Group on 31 July announced a deal worth GBP40 million (USD62.4 million) with the Hydrodec Group that will see the UK's first purpose-built oil re-refinery constructed on a nine-acre site at Port Wirral in Eastham. Hydrodec, which operates two other used oil re-refineries, in Ohio, US, and in New South Wales, Australia, expects to begin construction in 2016 and have the facility on stream in 18 months. It picked Port Wirral - which is being redeveloped - because of excellent transport connections by road, rail, and water, the latter via the River Mersey and Manchester Ship Canal. http://www.ihsmaritime360.com/article/18841/hydrodec-to-build-uk-s-first-oil-re-refinery
