As scheduled, Specialty Minerals Inc (SMI) commissioned its new precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) plant at Walsum (near Duisburg) in October. The entire output is going to be available for merchant sales to third-party customers in the paint and paper industries. SMI markets its PCC as a slurry, containing 71-72% solids, delivered by road, rail or barge. Initial capacity is 125,000 tonnes/y (as dry weight), but the plant has been designed to facilitate easy expansion to 500,000 tonnes/y, as warranted by the evolution of market demand.
