Description
As at 31 December 2025
Synthetic rutile processing facility at Capel, Western Australia, upgrading ilmenite into synthetic rutile via kiln processing (SR1 and SR2 kilns). SR1 remained offline through 2025 and the SR2 kiln was suspended from 1 December 2025 in response to weak titanium dioxide demand. SR2 delivered 210kt of synthetic rutile in 2025. Typically 1 tonne of upgradeable ilmenite yields 0.56-0.60 tonnes of synthetic rutile; Iluka also purchases external ilmenite as kiln feedstock.
