Economically viable production of green ammonia requires plants that can react to fluctuations in renewable power thanks to their flexible design. Casale’s Francesco Baratto, Giovanni Genova and Sergio Panza explain how new tools are helping design green ammonia plants that deliver the highest possible production at the lowest possible cost.
Debora Simoes, Bruno Fardim , and Cleber Vieira of Agroconsult report on what’s driving the Brazilian fertilizer market currently and look at prospects for the coming year.
Mexico supplies more than half of the international avocado market. This oil-rich, nutritious fruit is also widely grown in Colombia, the Dominican Republic and Peru. We look at the nutrient needs of this regionally-important cash crop.
Improvements to equipment and materials are driving greater operational performance and higher efficiencies at urea plants. Recent advances are reviewed.
Argus in collaboration with CRU will convene the 2022 Fertilizer Latino Americano conference in Miami, Florida, 21-23 March.
Correct fertilizer usage at each crop stage can helps avocado growers improve their yield, quality and profitability. ICL’s Mateo Martinez and Alveiro Salamanca-Jimenez explain how growers can supply crop nutrients to avocado trees, efficiently and effectively, using economically- and environmentally-sustainable principles.
Sulphur is becoming an increasingly vital crop nutrient – due to a combination of lower sulphur deposition from the atmosphere, the increasing prevalence of high-analysis fertilizers and higher cropping intensity.
EuroChem Group recently completed the purchase of the Serra do Salitre project from Yara International for $452 million. This one million tonne capacity Brazilian phosphate project is due to be completed in 2024.
Efficient size preparation and ore transport are key prerequisites for successful potash and phosphate production. We highlight the range of equipment options.
The ability to incorporate elemental sulphur within urea granules to create a fertilizer carrier has excellent potential as an answer to global soil sulphur deficiency. This technology is already available for commercial implementation and offers many benefits, as Bernd Peuckmann and Harald Franzrahe of thyssenkrupp Fertilizer Technology explain.
