S&B contracted by New Hope Energy to provide services for plastics pyrolysis unit

S&B Engineers and Constructors has signed a multiyear master service agreement to provide engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for New Hope Energy’s plastics pyrolysis unit. This partnership will initially focus on New Hope Energy’s expansion in Tyler, Texas, which S&B says will add 420 metric tons per day of capacity to convert plastic waste to chemical feedstocks in the exiting facility.

With this expansion, S&B says the Tyler plant will be able to divert more than 300 million pounds of plastic waste from landfills annually. According to S&B, the project represents a long-term alliance between the two companies.

“We look forward to the long-term program and collaborative partnership with S&B and its highly developed supply chain as we grow our advanced chemical recycling systems to create a circular economy that moves the U.S. toward a sustainable future,” says Ron Nussle, chief operating officer and president of New Hope Energy.

Full EPC services will be provided by S&B using the Lummus New Hope plastic pyrolysis technology to process plastic waste into renewable chemical feedstocks.

“We’re excited to partner with New Hope to boost its advanced recycling capacity to create solutions for plastic waste,” says Ray Sherman, president of S&B’s energy transition, power and industrial business unit.
