Fertilizer Industry
Moisture is a menace for fertilizer manufacturing plants. Most commercial fertilizers, especially those with a high concentration of nutrients, are hygroscopic in nature and thus have a high solubility in water. They absorb water vapor or moisture during production, storage, and bagging. The result is often qualitative and quantitative loss.
Moisture laden fertilizer may lead to problems like:
- Caking and Lumping
- Loss of fertilizer’s free flowing property
- Loss of physical, nutrient, and chemical properties
- Loss of strength
- Danger of explosion of Nitrate based Fertilizers
- Health hazards due to ammonical fumes of decomposed hygroscopic fertilizers
- Slippery floors due to hardening of the fertilizer on the floor of the warehouse
TDS offers the following services for fertilizer manufacturing plants:
- Industrial Project Solutions
- Surface Preparation and Coating
- Safe Confined Area Access
- Water Damage Restoration
