ChinaP,

From the recent RWD quarterly:

"For SOP output at LD of 400,000 TPA and 50% Potassium recovery, the brine input required is approximately 60 million m3 per annum or 7,200m3 per hour.
Further modelling is required to establish definitive data for trench layout design but the above preliminary data suggests trench length of approximately 50km operating at any one time will provide the brine supply required."

Note they say 50km operating at any time. Presumably there will be more than 50km, where did KLL get 200km from?

Also note the assumption used in calculating the trenches is 50% potassium recovery.

But note from 2013, a multi stage trial resulted in 80% recovery. This would mean less trench. Of course we don't know if the actual process will be staged as per the trial.
