Fertilizer Chemicals and Process Aids
During fertilizer production, fertilizer chemicals and process aids such as defoamers, granulation aids, filtration aids, and clarification aids are consumed or removed during fertilizer manufacturing and ultimately do not present as components in the finished fertilizer product. These chemistries and process aids provide optimal production efficiency, product quality, workplace safety, and environmental protection. Among other benefits, these process aids improve the cost economics of fertilizer production by enhancing capacity utilization, reducing plant downtime, and increasing the recovery of crop nutrient inputs.
