Engineering Models of the ICI Pruteen Plant components for manufacturing single cell protein, and architectural/ builder's model of the complete ICI Pruteen Plant at Billingham, Stockton on Tees, England, 1978-1983
Engineering Model of the Pruteen Plant for manufacturing single cell protein, c. 1980
Model of Pruteen Plant Effluent treatment area, one of two parts. Labelled "A - Effluent treatment area 1 of 2"
Model of Pruteen Plant Effluent treatment area, one of two parts. Labelled "A - Effluent treatment area, 2 of 2"
Model of Pruteen Plant Compression and vapourisation area, one of two parts. Labelled "B - Compression and vapourisation area 1 of 2"
Model of Pruteen Plant Compression and vapourisation area, one of two parts. Labelled "B - Compression and vapourisation area, 2 of 2"
Model of Pruteen Plant Raw materials store and tank compound. Labelled "C - Raw materials store and tank compound"
Model of Pruteen Plant Centrifuge building. Labelled "D - centrifuge building"
Model of Pruteen Plant Grinding and packing area. Labelled "E - grinding and packing area"
Model of Pruteen Plant Drying and scrubbing area, one of two parts. Labelled "F1 - Drying & Scrubbing area"
Model of Pruteen Plant Drying and scrubbing area, one of two parts. Labelled "F2 - Drying & Scrubbing area"
Model of Pruteen Plant Fermenter area, one of two parts. Labelled "G1 - Fermenter area". This is the bottom half of the fermenter area.
This is an engineering model of one of the world’s largest ever fermenters, which stood at 60 meters tall. The fermenter was built by Imperial Chemical Industries in a hugely ambitious venture to make protein by fermenting microbes. Pruteen was a technical success, but a commercial failure. The technology was instead adapted to make vegetarian protein for humans – ‘Quorn’.

Architectural/ builder's model of the complete ICI Pruteen Plant at Billingham, Stockton on Tees, England, 1978-1983
This is an engineering model of one of the world’s largest ever fermenter factories. It was built by John Brown Engineers and Constructors for Imperial Chemical Industries in a hugely ambitious venture to make protein by fermenting microbes. Pruteen was a technical success, but a commercial failure. The technology was instead adapted to make vegetarian protein for humans – ‘Quorn’.
