After several years of operation, the new owners of the Sinjar plant who is Kar Group decided to modernize the plant.

Main targets of the project are to reach a plant production capacity of 1.8Mt/year and operate the plant continuously at the targeted production capacity after completion of the rehabilitation.

They also target to minimize the environmental impact of the plant by use of modern equipment.
