10T/H Organic Fertilizer Factory In Argentina

What is the prospect of setup chicken manure organic fertilizer factory in Argentina?

The prospect of processing chicken manure organic fertilizer pellets in Argentina is relatively optimistic, mainly based on the following reasons:

First, the market demand is large and stable.

With the improvement of people's awareness of food safety and environmental protection, more and more farmers are beginning to use organic fertilizers. As a high-quality organic fertilizer, chicken manure organic fertilizer has been favored by more and more farmers.

In addition, the market price of chicken manure organic fertilizer is relatively stable. Although the production cost is high, its nutritional value and environmental protection effect make its market price relatively stable and will not be affected by market fluctuations.

Secondly, policy support.

In recent years, the Argentine government has actively advocated reducing the use of chemical fertilizers, applying more green fertilizers such as organic fertilizers and bio-organic compound fertilizers, and has introduced a subsidy policy of "organic fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers" and vigorously promoted the use of organic fertilizers.

These policies provide a good policy environment for the market development of chicken manure organic fertilizers.

In addition, environmental protection and sustainable development.

Chicken manure organic fertilizer can improve soil structure, increase soil fertility, promote plant growth, and improve the quality of agricultural products. The use of chicken manure organic fertilizer can reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, reduce agricultural pollution to the environment, and meet the requirements of sustainable development.

Finally, technological progress.

New production technologies and processes can improve the quality and effect of organic fertilizers and reduce production costs. Technological progress can also improve the production efficiency and sustainability of organic fertilizers and promote the development of the market.

Construction Content

The chicken manure organic fertilizer factory in Argentina project covers a total area of 10 acres, which is vacant land of a chicken farm.

Two fully automatic production lines of organic fertilizer will be built using EM composting technology; a 4,000 square meter plant, a 1,000 square meter warehouse, and a 3 km long and 3.0-4.0 meter wide cement road will be built. The project composition is shown in the table below:

Labor quota

After the chicken manure organic fertilizer factory in Argentina project is completed and put into operation, it will use fully automatic production equipment, so only 8 employees are needed (including 4 car drivers, 4 front-line production workers, and the rest of the logistics management and sales staff will work part-time in the chicken farming company), 2 shifts per day, and 365 working days per year.

Because the fermentation equipment is relatively advanced, workers only need to set up the equipment every day, and the operators can leave, so the project staff do not eat and stay in the factory.

Public works

Power supply
The power supply for this chicken manure organic fertilizer factory in Argentina project is provided by the local power grid. The 380/220V low-voltage distribution line is connected to the electric poles in the site and enters the various power-using places in the site.

Analysis of rationality of plane layout

Rationality of plane layout

The overall layout of the chicken manure organic fertilizer factory in Argentina project adopts a reasonable layout and overall arrangement.

While saving land, meeting fire protection, environmental protection, internal and external transportation and current production needs, it comprehensively considers the possibility of future expansion and transformation.

The project construction site is in a mountainous environment, with the west side of the site boundary close to the factory road; the left side of the entrance is the guard room; the right side is the third raw material warehouse; the factory area is set up from north to south as the raw material warehouse, fermentation workshop and finished product warehouse.

Dry toilets and odor treatment systems are set up on the easternmost (close to) hillside of the factory area; there are no office areas and employee living areas in the factory area, all of which are production plant areas; the project is surrounded by hillside wasteland.

The site has an internal ring road, and the main road is a 4m wide lane. Grass and evergreen trees are planted along the road, and fire passages are left between each building.

The overall layout of the project has clear functional divisions, smooth process flow, short logistics, and no cross-interference between people and logistics. From an environmental protection perspective, its plane layout is reasonable.

Roads and greening

• Roads: The chicken manure organic fertilizer factory in Argentina project builds roads within the factory area to facilitate the transportation of goods for sale.
• Greening: The project is fully greened in areas without buildings and roads. Tall trees should be planted for greening, and greening isolation belts that can absorb odor and purify the air should be set up to reduce the impact of odor on the environment.

Chicken manure organic fertilizer process design

Pretreatment (batching):

Since the moisture content of fresh chicken manure in this chicken manure organic fertilizer factory in Argentina project is about 70%, it is not suitable for direct biological fermentation (the optimal moisture content of fermentation is 55-65%, and the fermentation moisture content of this project is 60%), so pretreatment must be carried out to adjust the moisture content of the raw materials to the optimal moisture content.

The chicken manure required for this project is sent from the raw material workshop to the fermentation tank of the organic fertilizer workshop by a special agricultural vehicle for fermentation. The fermentation tank consists of a batching area and a fermentation area.

The chicken manure is first batched in the batching area through a biological conditioning system. 30% bran powder or straw and 10% bacteria are added to each ton of chicken manure (moisture content is 60%).

Biological fermentation:

The fermentation bacteria are added to the pre-treated chicken manure for fermentation. The chicken manure is pushed to the fermentation area of the fermentation tank by the automatic fermentation machine for aerobic fermentation and harmless treatment.

It is turned over twice a day, and the chicken manure is pushed forward about 3 meters a day. The fermentation time is 21 days, and the fermentation temperature is 55-65℃. The fermentation process is strictly carried out in accordance with the biological fermentation process for livestock and poultry manure.

Cooling and drying:

The moisture content of the fermented chicken manure is about 30%, which does not meet the organic fertilizer standard of ≤14% (the moisture content of the organic fertilizer produced in this project is 10%), so it must be dried, and the temperature is naturally reduced while drying.

Note: The organic fertilizer production process of this chicken manure organic fertilizer factory in Argentina project does not involve drying. The fermentation process must be carried out in the fermentation tank.

The fermentation tank and fermentation greenhouse workshop must be built. The fermentation process is strictly carried out in accordance with the biological fermentation process for livestock and poultry manure.

Crushing, granulation, and packaging:

The organic fertilizer after natural drying is sent to the organic fertilizer processing room by the conveyor for crushing and granulation. After reaching the product specifications, it is packaged and stored in the warehouse and sold.

Material balance analysis of the project

Based on the production process of the chicken manure organic fertilizer factory in Argentina project and the raw and auxiliary materials used, the transformation relationship, quantity and form of materials in production are analyzed to understand the generation and emission of pollutants in the production process.

According to the material transformation relationship in the production process, chicken manure, rice sugar, straw, bacteria and other raw materials are made into organic fertilizer through fermentation, crushing and other processes. The material balance relationship of this organic fertilizer production line project is shown in the table below.

Why process organic fertilizer in Argentina?

The main reasons for processing organic fertilizer in Argentina include its superior natural conditions and government policy support.

• First, Argentina has fertile soil and mild climate, which makes the production of organic fertilizer unique.
  Most parts of Argentina have fertile soil and mild climate, which is very suitable for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, which provides a good environment for the production of organic fertilizer. ‌
• Second, the Argentine government attaches great importance to and supports the development of organic agriculture.
  As early as the 1990s, the Argentine government formulated organic food certification standards and was approved by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements, which provided policy guarantees and international recognition for the development of organic agriculture.
  In addition, the Argentine government also referred to the relevant regulations of the European Union and formulated visionary and practical guidelines and management regulations, which further promoted the development of organic agriculture. ‌
• Finally, Argentina's organic agriculture market is developing rapidly and has a large export scale.
  Argentina's organic agricultural land area ranks first in Latin America, and its output is also increasing. Its main export markets include high-consumption countries such as the United States, Germany, and France, and its export volume accounts for a large proportion of the total domestic output.
  This market demand and export potential also prompted Argentina to process organic fertilizer domestically.
