Central-Prayon Process (CPP)

The Central-Prayon Process (CPP) is used at Prayon’s central production site in Engis, Belgium and has been in operation for more than 40 years. It is a model of circular economy in the phosphoric acid world as more than 90% of its co-product phosphogypsum is reused in the cement or plaster industry.
