Liquid fertilizer production is usually accomplished by dissolving ammonium nitrate and urea in water, followed by the addition of various soluble phosphates and potassium salts. Potassium salts are mostly used as potassium chloride and potassium sulfate. The variety of these compositions is quite limited. For example, in commercially available clear liquid fertilizers the potassium content does not exceed 10% by weight when specified as K2O.
There are two common methods for the production process of liquid mixed fertilizers. The first of these is the batch process, which is also the most basic and easily applicable method. In this method, plant nutrients in solid form such as ammonium phosphates, urea and potassium chloride are used. The essence of the process is to dissolve these solid nutrients in water in determined proportions, which makes it possible to obtain a final product with the desired quality and properties.
The second and most widely used method, based on neutralizing phosphoric acid with ammonia, is a widely preferred process in many industries. In this method, while anhydrous or aqueous ammonia is used, alternatively nitrogen-containing solutions such as ammonia-ammonium nitrate or ammonia-urea can be used. The nitrogen compounds in question are combined with phosphoric acid solutions in certain proportions in a controlled manner. In the next stage of this reaction, a solid source of nitrogen or potassium is added. This makes the resulting mixture suitable for use in various industrial and agricultural applications.
Liquid fertilizer production processes
In our liquid fertilizer production processes, we use a comprehensive homogenization process that includes a variety of advanced techniques to ensure a perfectly even distribution of ingredients every time. This meticulous process ensures that each batch of fertilizer maintains a consistent standard of quality and also enables the balanced distribution of nutrients that is so important for plants.
This balance ensures equal intake of all necessary nutrients to support optimal plant growth. Additionally, our homogenization process helps achieve an even and consistent particle size during application, which is necessary for the liquid fertilizer to work at its ideal efficiency. These features increase the overall effect of our fertilizer and offer the highest benefit to our users.
