Print this page

US: Panamint Valley Limestone (PVL) plans to build a US$45m lime plant at Trona in California. The site and air emissions credits have been acquired, the conditional use permit process has started, and studies and preliminary engineering have been initiated. Lime production is scheduled to start in early 2021.

The PVL Lime plant will be located on a brownfield site northwest of the existing Searles Valley Minerals and ACE Cogeneration industrial facilities. Limestone will be sourced from the company’s quarry in the Panamint Valley. The unit will produce 400t/day of quick lime and hydrated lime products for use in cement, soil conditioning, water treatment and industrial processes.

PVL says that its new plant will be the only producer of lime in California, where currently all lime used is imported from outside of state. The plant is expected to create 30 to 40 new jobs.
