| Remarks | Although modified somewhat for U.S. production, the Geismar plant has been modeled on the Innophos facility in Les Roches de Condrieu, France. It will produce approximately 70,000 tons of PPA per year, the bulk of which will be shipped to Innophos Chicago Heights facility as 75% phosphoric acid (H3PO4). This acid will be suitable for sale to the merchant market, or for use in processing downstream technical and food-grade products-calcium, sodium and ammonium phosphates, and other salts. | |
