Input materials in place ahead of Cinis Fertilizer’s start of production
Cinis Fertilizer has received the first deliveries of the inputs sodium sulfate and potassium chloride to its production facility in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. With the first ship and truck deliveries in place in the company’s warehouse, the important logistics flows for the input goods have been tested ahead of the start of production.
A few days ago, Cinis Fertilizer received a final approval of the salt warehouse belonging to the company’s production facility for fossil-free potassium sulfate. Shortly afterwards, Cinis Fertilizer could start filling the warehouse with input goods ahead of the start of production.
The company has received the first loads of sodium sulfate from Northvolt’s battery production in Skellefteå and will receive additional sodium sulfate from supplementary suppliers in the coming days. On Thursday, the first cargo ship with potassium chloride from K+S arrived at the port in Köpmanholmen, Örnsköldsvik. This means that the inputs required to start production are now in place.
“Testing the logistics flow in practice is an important milestone before the start of production. Another milestone is to complete commissioning. The fact that everything is going according to plan is a statement of strength. Now we look forward to soon being able to start the production of Sweden’s first fossil-free potassium sulfate,” says Jakob Liedberg, founder and CEO of Cinis Fertilizer.
Just over a year ago, in February 2023, ground was broken for Cinis Fertilizer’s first production facility for fossil-free potassium sulfate in Örnsköldsvik, with an ambition to start production in the first half of 2024. Checkout and testing of installed equipment in the production facility is now underway and step by step the various systems are being commissioned before the start of production.
