K+S Group, Kassel, has commissioned a new plant at its Wintershall site at the Werra plant, Germany, producing magnesium sulfate anhydrous. The product is a specialty fertilizer used in fertigation and as a granulation aid for compound fertilizers, as well as for uses in the pulp industry, among others, the company said in a statement.
K+S has invested about €34 million in the new facility. It expands the company’s production capacity of magnesium sulfate anhydrous by more than 50 percent – to “a low six-digit amount” of mt/y, according to Bloomberg.
The new plant will also produce the animal feed product KaSa Mag 98.
