International environmental service specialist Total Waste Management Alliance (TWMA) has invested more than £1.7million in developing its Peterhead base, where it is planning to add to its workforce.
The company employs 23 people in the north-east town and is expecting to make several further appointments in the months ahead.
TWMA works for a wide range of clients supplying services including the treatment, handling and recycling of by-products of the drilling process.
The site at Peterhead handles non-hazardous and hazardous waste, including all types of recycling, from contaminated soils to dealing with by-products from refineries and decommissioning of plant on installations offshore.
The Blue Toon base is also used to test TWMA’s TCC-RotoMill technology: a thermal system capable of reducing drilling waste and drill cuttings to their separate component parts of base oil, water and solids both onshore and offshore.
To date, the base has commissioned 13 TCC-RotoMills and one mobile version of the technology, the TCC-Roto Truck, that can travel to virtually any location required.
TWMA manager Mike Muir said: “We are currently making the finishing touches to the large-scale upgrade at the site in Peterhead; work which ensures the site and equipment exceed all legal safety/pollution requirements.
“Our aim was to create a first-class working environment that was capable of meeting employee and customer demand, which we’ve certainly achieved.
“This latest investment is indicative of the company’s ambitions to grow the business further in the UK and worldwide.”
“As new environmental legislation impacts on more companies, we expect demand for our services to continue to grow.
“Our Peterhead site will play a major role in meeting this increased demand, with operations running more efficiently and higher standards being achieved.”
TWMA was formed in 2000 and employs 310 people at its headquarters in Aberdeen and bases around the world including Egypt, Nigeria, Norway, Dubai, America, the Far East and Libya.
