Filter for Nitrogen Fertilisers / Ammonium Nitrate – Neutraliser & Evaporator

Ammonia and Nitric Acid are fed to the Neutraliser, which can be operating under pressure, under vacuum or at atmospheric pressure. There is a high exothermic reaction which produces NH4NO3 and steam. Ammonium Nitrate solution is then fed to an Evaporator and the resultant concentrated solution goes to the Prilling Tower. NH4NO3 is entrained from both the Neutraliser and the Evaporator by the exiting steam, which can contain up to 15,000 mg/m3 ( or 4 kg/ton) of nitrate with an average size of 3 – 5 ...

Automated microbiological monitoring solutions for irrigation industry

For farmers and growers, crop irrigation is a vital part of their farming practices. But what do you do if the water that is bringing life is also carrying E. coli? It has long been known that E. coli can travel for hundreds of miles through soil and wind erosion and the pathogen can be transferred to crops through irrigation practices. Farmers need a new method of detecting E. coli before it is too late. With the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), critical point testing and fast, accurate reporting will soon ...

Gas analyzers and monitoring systems for greenhouse gases from ruminants

Ruminant livestock generates a significant proportion of anthropogenic GHG emissions, and thereby contribute to Climate Change. Ruminants such as cattle, sheep, goats and buffalo produce meat and milk through enteric fermentation – a digestive process in which microbes decompose and ferment food in the digestive tract or rumen. This process produces methane which is emitted via belching. The amount of methane produced is directly related to the type of food consumed and the level of intake, in addition to ...
