K+S Extends Maintenance Period for Bethune

K+S Group, Kassel, said today it will extend the maintenance period planned for September at its Bethune potash plant in Saskatchewan to a total of two weeks. During this time, it said the existing facilities will be supplemented by further components for screening and cooling the products.

“We have a clear agenda for aligning the quality of our products even more closely with our customers’ expectations by the end of 2019. At the same time, we will continue with our goal of further increasing production,” said K+S’ Europe+ operating unit CEO, Alexa Hergenröther.

K+S earlier put the 2019 production target at Bethune at 1.7 to 1.9 million mt. However, it said due to the additional work now being planned to improve product quality, it currently is expecting the lower end of this range to be reached.
