GOTEBORG, Sweden — Canadian energy-services provider ArticCan Energy Services Inc. is proposing setting up a scrap-tire processing plant in Canada designed to process 30,000 metric tons of waste tires a year.
To effect the plan, ArticCan Energy signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Scandinavian Enviro Systems A.B., a Goteborg-based engineering concern founded in 2001 to develop pyrolysis technology for recovering carbon and hydrocarbon compounds from waste tires.
The parties did not disclose a proposed site, timetable for completing the plant nor the investment.
The agreement with Enviro is "a significant milestone in our strategic vision of finding a sustainable solution that allows recovery of valuable materials from end of life tires," Anastassia Manuilova, ArticCan's vice president, energy and environment, said in a statement provided by Scandinavian Enviro.
