ICL Performance Products, a leading global specialty phosphate producer, today announced it will expand its capacity by building an additional Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP) plant at its Lawrence, Kan. facility.
This investment will include packaging automation and a new heat recovery system to reduce energy consumption.
"ICL is committed to growing our specialty phosphate business to meet the increasing needs of our customers," said Angela Schewe, ICL North America phosphates business director. "With the expansion, ICL will have a greater opportunity to meet customers' needs in several growth markets, including food additives, dentifrice, beverages and water treatment."
The new SHMP plant will meet all current good manufacturing practices for food products, Global Food Safety Initiative standards and NSF standards. It is planned to be complete by late 2011.
