How do we make TK?<br />
The Company’s potassium silicate rock is heated in a rotary kiln along with<br />
limestone to produce Thermo<strong>Potash</strong>.<br />
Heating the potassium silicate rock weakens the bonds between the<br />
potassium and other elements in the rock, thereby allowing for easy K<br />
uptake by plants.<br />
The production process for TK is very similar to the pyro portion of the<br />
production process the Company has developed for KCl.<br />
Given that a TK production facility requires a rotary kiln but no evaporation<br />
or crystallization equipment, capex for a TK plant is expected to be<br />
materially lower than that for a KCl plant producing equivalent tonnage.<br />
