Osaka Titanium to Restart Poly Silicon Production in Late August

Osaka Titanium Technologies announced on Friday the firm restarts polycrystalline silicon production at Amagasaki plant, Hyogo, Japan at the end of August. The output level is scheduled at around 900 tonnes per year in accordance with regulation by Japan’s High Pressure Gas Safety Act. Osaka Titanium announced on May 7 that the firm received an administrative disposition from Hyogo Prefecture to suspend some facilities of polycrystalline silicon infringing on High Pressure Gas Safety Act. The firm has altered the facilities along the law.

The firm plans to produce polycrystalline silicon at 2,200 tonnes per year at a new factory inside Kishiwada works. The factory is now under construction and the completion may be delayed since some facilities’ designs need to be converted in accordance with the same law.
