IO#10 Iodine Plant Commissioned

 

Iofina plc (AIM: IOF), specialists in the exploration and production of iodine and manufacturers of specialty chemical products, is pleased to announce that the Company’s IO#10 IOsorb® plant is now commissioned. The new plant is undergoing hydro-testing and brine water is flowing through its system. In the coming days, in line with the planned project timings, IO#10 will shortly begin concentrating and isolating iodine, with production set to ramp up over the coming weeks.

IO#10 is the Company’s seventh plant currently operating in Oklahoma, constructed with a new partner and in Iofina’s new core area where oil and gas drilling activity is high. The new plant is expected to make a material contribution to crystalline iodine production through the end of the year, with the capacity to produce 100-150MT per annum.
