"Over 60% of the phosphoric acid currently manufactured in the world comes from plants which use Prayon technology.

Prayon Technologies (PRT) sells the know-how and techniques developed by our Group, and also supplies consultancy and support services. PRT has over 50 years' experience in designing and operating phosphoric acid manufacturing units.

PRT's main areas of activity are :

MAK has also said their RP ore is suitable for Prayon type processing plants - ensuring a wide potential customer enduse market.

Not sure how much a wet acid plant would cost in comparison. Sorry.
