Pursell launches Stampede

Pursell launches Stampede

Pursell Agri-Tech launched Stampede, its new NPK fertilizer range, at the Southwestern Fertilizer Conference (SWFC) in Nashville in July.

Featuring premium-grade NPK products, the new range is designed to efficiently deliver a well-balanced supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium – by combining ammonium and nitrate nitrogen, 100% water-soluble phosphate, and potassium in homogeneous prills.

Stampede NPKs are “ideal for improving plant health and stress tolerance, early crop growth, and root development, as well as flowering and fruiting”, according to Pursell. Customised formulations with additional macronutrients and micronutrients will also be available.

Key benefits include:

• Homogeneous, dust-free prills to ensure even distribution and consistent nutrient delivery

• Dual nitrogen forms: nitrate for quick uptake and ammonium for maintained feeding

• Low salt index that is gentle on sensitive plants and seedlings

• Easy, precise application for accurate calibration and uniform feeding.

The launch of Stampede follows Pursell’s appointment of Richard Newman as its Director of NPK Sales in May. Mr Newman will be responsible for the company’s overall strategy for NPKs and strengthening Pursell’s innovative product offerings.

Desulphurisation unit installed at Luján refinery

YPF says that its modernisation of the Luján de Cuyo refinery has taken a step forward with the installation of a hydrodesulphurisation reactor, designed to remove sulphur compounds from diesel fuel by means of a catalytic process using hydrogen. The installation forms part of the refinery’s New Fuel Specifications (NEC) project, intended to produce of fuels with a lower environmental impact. The new reactor was built in Mendoza by IMPSA. With a length of 38 meters and a weight of 456 tons, it was moved from Godoy Cruz to the YPF plant in a logistic operation that involved Vialidad Nacional, Mendoza Police and local authorities. It will now be integrated into the HDS II unit, designed to reduce sulphur content in diesel to 10 parts per million, in line with current environmental requirements. The NEC plan includes new process units, such as H2 II and SE33, the adaptation of existing facilities and the improvement of auxiliary services. The project, already 85% complete, will allow all the diesel oil produced in Luján de Cuyo to comply with the highest emission requirements.
