Scope
Sedgman completed a feasibility study and detailed engineering for the project, which confirmed the technical and economic viability of the plant. Additionally, as part of its technology supply for the evaporation/crystallizer circuit, Sedgman also supplied the evaporators and crystallizers, together with associated heaters, pumps, and piping, advancing the project’s critical equipment installation.
Outcome
The project is on track and key process areas in commissioning as of May 2025, with commercial production expected to be achieved in 2025, positioning the project for sustainable potash production and potential expansion.
