Förka wins approval for new K2 acid storage tank

Förka has received environmental approval for a 5,121-cubic-metre emergency and storage tank for K2 acid at Skarðshjalli, KVF reports. The approval supplements a permit issued in 2019.

The tank is owned by Salmon Proteins. It is intended primarily to increase emergency preparedness and storage capacity for K2 acid, especially when large quantities must be handled in a short time.

The Environment Agency’s decision can be appealed to the minister responsible for environmental affairs.
