Sedgman Novopro is excited to share the news that it has completed the front-end engineering and design (FEED) study for Peak Minerals. The FEED work was completed in support of the Sevier Playa Potash Project in Millard County, Utah, the most significant sulfate of potash (SOP) fertilizer development in North America.
Peak Minerals will produce SOP and associated minerals utilizing natural subsurface brines from the Sevier Playa coupled with solar evaporation to create the lowest-emission SOP facility in the world. The brines, extracted from the Playa using shallow trenches, will be sent to evaporation ponds where crude potassium sulfate salts will be deposited. From there, the salts will be harvested and sent to a processing plant for refining and production of SOP. The refinery utilizes Sedgman Novopro patented technologies that further reduce emissions when compared to competing operations. The project includes a rail loadout facility for shipping bulk as well as bagged products to North American markets.
Sedgman Novopro previously completed a feasibility study for Peak Minerals in 2022 and was awarded the FEED study in 2023.
We look forward to continuing our work with Peak Minerals to progress this world class fertilizer project.
