2T/H Compound Fertilizer Production Line in Austria

What is water-soluble fertilizer?

Water Soluble Fertilizer (WSF) is a multi-component fertilizer that can be completely dissolved in water. Compared with traditional superphosphate, granulated compound fertilizer and other varieties, water-soluble fertilizer has obvious advantages. It is a fast-acting fertilizer with good water solubility and no residue.

It can be completely dissolved in water and can be directly absorbed and utilized by the roots and leaves of crops. The use of water and fertilizer at the same time, with water and fertilizer, has achieved water and fertilizer integration.

Its effective absorption rate is more than double that of ordinary chemical fertilizers, reaching 80%-90%; and the fertilizer effect is fast, which can meet the nutritional needs of high-yield crops during the rapid growth period.

The water requirement of the drip irrigation system is only 30% of that of ordinary chemical fertilizers, and the fertilization operation can be almost labor-free, which greatly saves labor costs.

Compound fertilizer production process design

This compound fertilizer production line in Austria project will build a new water-soluble fertilizer production line with an annual output of 5,000 tons. The main products include medium-element water-soluble fertilizer (liquid) and trace element water-soluble fertilizer (liquid) sharing two production lines. The process flow is as follows:

The liquid water-soluble fertilizers in this project include medium-element water-soluble fertilizers (liquid) and trace element water-soluble fertilizers (liquid).

The two types of liquid water-soluble fertilizers only differ in raw materials. The production process is exactly the same. The production equipment is dedicated to the tank and the equipment is cleaned regularly.

Brief description of the fertilizer production process:

1. Weighing:
   According to the ratio of liquid water-soluble fertilizers, weigh the required raw materials (including water, amino acid solution and solid raw materials, etc.) respectively.
2. Feeding:
   Put the weighed raw materials into the mixing tank. The feeding order is to add water first, amino acid solution and then solid raw materials. The feeding process is carried out in a closed clean workshop, and all feeding is done manually. However, there is a certain height difference between the feeding port and the stirring device, so a small amount of dust will be generated during the feeding process.
3. Mixing:
   After adding materials, the mixing tank is covered and stirred. In winter, the mixing tank needs to be heated to ensure that all solid raw materials in the tank are dissolved. The heating temperature is 20℃, and the heat source is power supply. In other seasons except winter, the mixing is carried out at room temperature, and the stirring time is 15 minutes. This compound fertilizer production line in Austria project only mixes various raw materials and fully dissolves them, without chemical reaction;
4. Sampling inspection:
   Manual inspection of the products produced by batches, qualified products enter the next process, and unqualified products are sold to nearby villagers at a low price for farmland fertilization.
5. Filling:
   The semi-finished liquid water-soluble fertilizer is filled into packaging bottles or packaging barrels with filling machines and other equipment to make liquid water-soluble fertilizer products.
6. Packaging/subpackaging and warehousing:
   The product is a liquid water-soluble fertilizer. After filling, the product enters the manual packaging line, the automatic capping machine automatically puts the cap and screws the cap, and the labeling machine labels the package, and finally the coding machine is used to print the product batch number, production date, etc. The packaged finished products are transferred to the finished product warehouse for sale.

General layout

The plant area of the compound fertilizer production line in Austria project is rectangular, with the 2# production workshop on the north side and the 1# production workshop in the middle. The office building is located on the south side of the plant area, and the raw material warehouse and finished product warehouse are located in the production workshop.

From the plan layout, it can be seen that the production area is relatively concentrated and compact, basically arranged according to the process flow, meeting the production operation requirements and workshop use functions.

Public works

Power supply

The power supply of the compound fertilizer production line in Austria project is provided by the municipal power grid, mainly for production equipment, office lighting, etc., with a power consumption of 50,000 kWh/a.

Water supply

Water used for liquid product proportioning

The water used in the production process of liquid water-soluble fertilizers in this project is tap water. There is no pure water preparation facility in the factory. According to the proportion of raw and auxiliary materials, the water consumption of liquid water-soluble fertilizers in this project is 4422.77m3/a.

Water used for cleaning the mixing tank

In order to ensure the quality of the product, the mixing tank and other production equipment need to be cleaned regularly. The use of tap water will generate a small amount of equipment cleaning wastewater.

This organic fertilizer production line project has 2 mixing tanks for the production of liquid water-soluble fertilizers. The tanks are used for special purposes. The mixing tanks are cleaned regularly every 3 days. The cleaning water consumption is 0.2m3/time, so the cleaning water consumption of the mixing tank is 20m3/a.

Cleaning water for production workshop

The production workshop of this compound fertilizer production line in Austria project is manually cleaned once a week, mainly by mopping the floor manually. The water consumption during the cleaning process is 0.5t/time, so the cleaning water consumption is 21.4t/a.

Domestic water

The water used in this project is supplied by the municipal tap water network. This project mainly includes domestic water. This project has 5 employees, and the daily water consumption of each person is 30L. The domestic water consumption of the whole plant is 0.15m3/d, and the annual working days are 300 days, and the domestic water consumption is 45m3/a.

Drainage

The amount of domestic sewage generated is calculated as 80% of the water consumption, which is 36m3/a. After entering the septic tank for treatment, it is regularly removed.

The wastewater generated by the cleaning of the mixing tank is reused for the proportioning of liquid water-soluble fertilizers and is not discharged; the water used for the proportioning of water-soluble fertilizers is all used in the product.

The composition of the workshop cleaning wastewater is simple, containing a small amount of fertilizer raw materials spilled in the workshop, which is reused for greening in the factory after simple sedimentation and is not discharged. This compound fertilizer production line in Austria project does not generate production wastewater.

Why build compound fertilizer production line in Austria?

Austria is located in southern Central Europe, with a land area of 84,000 square kilometers, of which 48% is forest and 28% is hilly grassland, and a total population of 8 million.

Austria is rich in forest resources and arable land resources, with a small population and a large amount of land, fertile land, mild climate, and even and sufficient rainfall. It has unique development conditions, making the local agriculture and animal husbandry relatively developed.

In Austria, organic agricultural products have a good reputation. Suppliers of organic agricultural products must hold the EU organic agricultural product certification to ensure that neither chemical fertilizers nor chemical agents are used in the production process.

Water used to produce organic agricultural products must also be regularly tested, and the organic ecological production model must be maintained while complying with strict hygiene standards and product packaging standards.

Therefore, the prospects for processing organic fertilizers in Austria are very optimistic. Austria has a long history and a solid foundation in organic agriculture, and the government has given strong support to the development of organic agriculture, which provides a good external environment for the organic fertilizer processing industry.

Market demand and policy support

The Austrian government supports the development of organic agriculture through multi-faceted and efficient funding to further consolidate its demonstration role in sustainable development.

Government policies include guaranteeing the interests of farmers who grow organic agricultural products, professional processing companies, intermediaries, organic agricultural product management agencies and consumers, and reducing the entrepreneurial costs of entrepreneurs through tax incentives, financial subsidies and other measures to enhance the profitability of organic fertilizer processing plants.

Competitive environment

Although the market competition in the organic fertilizer processing industry is becoming increasingly fierce, the continued growth of the global organic fertilizer market provides a broad space for development for this industry. According to statistics, the global organic fertilizer market is expected to continue to grow in the next few years.

Due to the increasing environmental awareness of farmers and the government's supportive policies for sustainable agricultural development, the market demand for organic fertilizers will become increasingly strong.
