Lima, Ohio—Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc.’s ammonia plant here went down Feb. 29 due to a small fire caused by a leaking gasket. The damage was minor, and the plant was expected to resume operations by Friday, March 4, following the conclusion of an investigation into the leak, completion of repairs, and safety testing. The shutdown will mean some lost production, but it would be within the reliability budget for the plant. The outage applies only to the ammonia plant. The other plants in Lima have continued operations.
