K+S Group said today the Kassel Regional Council has granted the company a new permit under the water law, providing the Werra and Neuhof-Ellers plants with further security for the production of mineral fertilizers and high-purity salt products. The previous permit expires at the end of this year.
The new permit is initially limited until the end of 2021. An amendment to the previous injection permit concerns the lowering of the limit value for chloride from 2,500 to 2,400 milligrams/liter by the approvals authority, advancing a reduction in the salt concentration planned by K+S by one year, the company said.
