Remarks	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.
