Although we are only at the end of the second phase of the expansion, we have already purchased a new steam generator for our third and fourth phase of the expansion. It is true that we were forced to do so by a technical failure of the original steam generator, which threatened several weeks of downtime, but which was eventually averted. So we purchased a new steam generator so that the shutdown could not occur, effectively “debottlenecking” the last sensitive point in the production process. This generator will also be used for a second boiler house – independent of the first one – for heating 3. and the 4th autoclave.
