EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the year 1978, capturing a significant moment in the history of ICI, Billingham. On the left side of the image stands an impressive 200-foot long steel fermenter, proudly positioned at the newly established £40 million Pruteen plant. Nestled between Haverton Hill shipyard and Cowpen Lane industrial estate, this state-of-the-art facility was set to revolutionize animal protein production. The photograph showcases the innovative process that would soon take place within this colossal vessel. North Sea gas would be transformed into valuable animal protein through a unique fermentation technique involving industrious bugs. This groundbreaking method promised to unlock new possibilities for manufacturing and contribute to advancements in both industry and agriculture. ICI, or Imperial Chemical Industries as it was known then, played a pivotal role in shaping Britain's chemical landscape during this era. Located in County Durham's bustling town of Billingham on Teesside, their commitment to technological progress propelled them forward as leaders in their field. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, let us appreciate not only its historical significance but also marvel at how human ingenuity can transform natural resources into vital commodities that benefit society as a whole.
