K+S Expects No 1Q Werra Restrictions
K+S Group, Kassel, said it does not expect any more wastewater-related interruptions at the three sites of the Werra plant in the first quarter of this year.
“The precipitation over the past few weeks has significantly increased the water level of the Werra River again, and as a result, the load on the local retention basins has been relieved to a greater extent,” the producer said.
Production at the three Werra site restarted as planned on Dec. 27, after a planned stoppage from Dec. 24 to Dec. 26.
K+S said it still expects to be able to increase the on-site temporary storage capacity for saline wastewater by a further 400,000 m3 to a total of around 1 million m3.
