The batch of SOP achieved the required product specification. Product commissioning will continue until EBTEC completes its performance test.
The company said that the scheduled commercial production ramp-up remains on track.
Rudolph van Niekerk, CEO of Kalium Lakes, said:
“Kalium Lakes has delivered another major milestone for the Beyondie SOP Project, producing its first SOP seven years after the Company was founded in September 2014. It has been a remarkable journey to reach this stage and we thank everyone who has contributed to the success of the project during the past seven years, particularly our long-term shareholders, management team and employees. We have always said that it was not a race and we were focused on getting it right rather than being first, but in the end we have been fortunate to achieve both!”
