The state-owned OAO Belaruskali increased solid alkali output to meet the growing consumer demand for this product, a company representative reported.
Solid alkali is manufactured at Belaruskali’s electromembrane process factory, which resumed operation in late October.
Belaruskali has started supplying solid alkali in 25-kilo bags. The product is shipped to customers in Belarus, Russia and the Baltic States.
The electromembrane process factory has increased output of sodium hypochlorite, after the product was officially registered as a disinfectant.
Belaruskali’s electromembrane process factory manufactures 15 kinds of products. Since early 2016 the factory produced around 10,050 tons of solid alkali, 9,990 tons of chlorohydric acid and 2,470 tons of sodium hypochlorite.
Belaruskali is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of potash fertilizers, employing about 18,495 personnel. It operates the Starobinskoye potash salts deposit and comprises four mine groups, auxiliary shops and support units.
Belaruskali controls 16% of the world’s potash fertilizer market, with Belarus Potash Company acting as Belaruskali’s key export trader. (Prime-TASS/Business World Magazine)
