Changchun Migao
A potassium sulphate facility, with 40,000 tonnes of initial annual capacity, was constructed in the city of Changchun, Jilin Province. The facility was completed on October 18, 2007 and production began on December 21, 2007.
Guangdong Migao
Migao's second operational facility and the first potassium sulphate production is found in the city of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. After its first full year of production in calendar 2005, Guangdong Migao, at full capacity, produced 40,000 tonnes of potassium sulphate. A by-product of manufacturing potassium sulphate is hydrochloric acid. Guangdong Migao produces approximately 50,000 tonnes of hydrochloric acid. This product provides a reliable and profitable revenue source as there are numerous applications of hydrochloric acid for local industrial customers.
Migao has 100,000 tonnes of potassium sulphate capacity. This also includes a sulphuric acid production facility. Sulphuric acid is one of the key inputs in the manufacture of potassium sulphate. This strategic development will reduce the input costs as well as being able to reduce energy costs – in the production of sulphuric acid, heat is generated that can be converted into electricity, which will be used to power the Guangdong facility.
An additional 60,000 tonnes of annual potassium sulphate capacity began in October 2008. The expanded production capacity will bring the total annual production of the Guangdong Migao facility to 160,000 tonnes of potassium sulphate.
Liaoning Migao
A potassium sulphate facility, with 40,000 tonnes of annual capacity, located in the city of Yingkou, Liaoning Province. On April 2, 2008, the Company announced plans to build a 120,000 tonne sulphuric acid production facility. Construction is estimated to be completed by the first half of calendar 2009. Sulphuric acid from this facility will be consumed by the Corporation’s facilities located in Liaoning and nearby Changchun for the production of potassium sulphate.
Shanghai Migao
A potassium sulphate facility with 40,000 tonnes of initial annual capacity is under construction in Shanghai, in an industrial park, and is expected to be completed during calendar 2009.
Sichuan Migao
Sichaun Migao, located in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, is the Company's only potassium nitrate facility. Established in 2003, this is Migao's oldest facility and in 2005, produced 50,000 tons of potassium nitrate. As a result of the manufacturing process of potassium nitrate, ammonium chloride is produced as a by-product. Sichuan Migao also produced 30,000 tonnes of ammonium chloride which was sold to local customers as a traditional nitrogen fertilizer.
The company is planning to double Sichuan Migao's current potassium nitrate production capacity through the construction of a new facility on the Sichaun Migao property in the city of Chengdu. This region of China is home to a well-established industrial chemical industry as well, large-scale tobacco growing occurs in the surrounding provinces.
Patented technology is employed in the production process of potassium nitrate at the Sichuan location. This technology ensures an accurate and consistent chemical composition of each bag of potassium nitrate. This commitment to quality is very important to Migao's agricultural customers.
Sichuan Migao is currently operating at full production capacity of 80,000 tonnes of potassium nitrate per year. This is currently the only facility producing potassium nitrate. The facility has recently added the capability to produce potassium nitrate in an upgraded form.
Tianjin Migao
A potassium sulphate facility with 40,000 tonnes of initial annual capacity
is under construction in the city of Tianjin and is scheduled to be
completed in calendar 2009.
Zunyi Migao
A potassium sulphate facility with 40,000 tonnes of initial annual capacity is under construction in the city of Zunyi and is scheduled to be completed in calendar 2009.
