Gensource Potash Corp. initiated the first phase of engineering in a project with three German companies to provide the process plant at the Tugaske Project. K-UTEC AG Salt Technologies, Koeppern GmbH & Co. KG, and Ebner GmbH & Co. KG comprise KKE, the consortium that will supply the entire main process plant.
K-UTEC AG Salt Technologies will supply process development and engineering, to include bench-scale testing, for physical-chemistry processes and solutions. Koeppern GmbH & Co. KG will supply drying, compaction and screening process design, and compaction equipment design and manufacture. Ebner GmbH & Co. KG will supply the cooling crystallization process design, and crystallization equipment design and manufacture.
Gensource described the project as an opportunity to bundle into a single package the entire process plant, with the three companies collaborating on a single solution. “KKE rounds out the world-class potash team that we have established, which will no doubt deliver a world-class sustainable potash production facility in Saskatchewan via the Tugaske Project,” Gensource CEO Mike Ferguson said.
The Tugaske Project is calendared for first production in late 2022.
