Tiger-Sul Inc. tells Green Markets that the condition of its Atmore, Ala., was not a total loss, as was reported by the local fire chief (GM Aug. 4, p. 1). “We believe that assessment is overstated, and that’s due in large part to the exceptional efforts of Chief Peebles’ crew and the other fire departments and first responders who worked hard to ensure the personal safety of those in the community while also trying to limit the damage done to the site,” Tiger-Sul Marketing Manager Usman Khalid told Green Markets.
“Because of their efforts only a section of the facility was impacted,” he added. “The facility has been released to us and we have already begun the cleanup and assessment. Our team is committed to bringing it back up as soon as possible. We’re pleased to report the facility is now open and the warehousing operations have started. In addition, our molten sulfur operations will be operational in a couple of weeks. Plus with some basic refurbishing we will be in a position to start production in a reasonably short amount of time.”
