Raw materials and energy consumption

The main raw materials and energy consumption of this organic fertilizer manufacturing plant in Mexico project are shown in the following table:

Serial number Material name Quantity Remarks
1 Wood ash 9500t/a From biomass power plant, stored in bulk
2 Biological bacteria 30t/a Market, bagged
d>3 Livestock and poultry manure and fermented bean dregs 19050t/a Transported from Guangdong (no odor, moisture content 60%), solid, bulk into the shed
4 Water 800t/a /
5 Electricity 100,000 kwh /

The plant ash of this organic fertilizer manufacturing plant in Mexico project comes from the waste of biomass power plants. Since ammonia water is sprayed during the denitrification process of the power plant, the raw material plant ash of this project will produce volatile ammonia during the production process. Since plant ash is the ashes after the burning of plants, almost all the mineral elements contained in plants are contained in plant ash.

The most abundant element is potassium, which generally contains 6~12% potassium, of which more than 90% is water-soluble and exists in the form of carbonate; followed by phosphorus, which generally contains 1.5~3%; it also contains trace nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, silicon, sulfur, iron, manganese, copper, zinc, boron, and molybdenum. The composition analysis of the plant ash of this project is shown in the attachment.

Fermented okara: okara refers to the by-product of the production process of soy products such as tofu and soy milk. Under normal circumstances, every 10 kilograms of soybeans can produce about 7 kilograms of dry okara, which generally contains about 8% fiber, about 28% protein, and about 12.40% fat. The fermented okara is easier to preserve and has richer nutrients. The crude protein content is generally around 28%, the crude fiber content is around 6%, and the dry okara contains about 27.7% crude protein.

Project General Plan Layout

Based on the requirements of convenient management, land conservation and smooth production process, the organic fertilizer manufacturing plant in Mexico project divides the plant area into raw material storage area, raw material mixing area, production and processing area, finished product storage area and office and living area according to functional areas.

The production and processing area is located in the middle of the plant area, mainly for crushing, screening and mixing processes; the raw material storage shed is located on the north and south sides of the production plant processing area; the finished product area is located on the west side of the production and processing area; the office and living area is located on the southwest side of the plant area.

In general, the project plant area combines road construction to meet the process flow of production and processing, as well as the requirements of raw materials, finished product entry and exit, water, electricity, roads, etc. The functional areas are clearly divided, the layout is reasonable, and the process flow layout is smooth and feasible. Therefore, the general plan layout of this project is reasonable and feasible.

Process flow design

The production process of the organic fertilizer manufacturing plant in Mexico project is to use livestock and poultry manure, fermented bean dregs, plant ash, biological bacteria, etc. in a certain proportion, add agricultural microbial verification agents, adopt aerobic fermentation technology, through cultivation, fermentation, turning, crushing, etc., and finally add a small amount of trace elements.

After product quality testing, a powdered finished product is obtained. The product content is N+P2O+K2O greater than or equal to 4%, and the organic matter content is ≥30%. It takes 10 days for each batch of raw materials from the access to the bacterial agent to the final product.

The organic fertilizer pellet plant has a total of 4 fermentation tanks, which ferment at the same time. The output of each batch of products is about 700-800 tons, and 20,000 tons of organic fertilizer are produced annually.

  1. Incoming materials: The raw materials of the project are mainly fermented bean dregs, plant ash, and biological bacteria. They are pulled into the factory area by trucks and placed in the raw material storage warehouse of the production workshop for storage and waiting. The raw materials are stored in the workshop and generally do not generate dust, but only a small amount of unloading dust.
  2. Mixing: The purchased raw materials are shoveled into the hopper in proportion (fermented bean dregs and plant ash in a ratio of 2:1) using a bulldozer bucket. The mixed raw materials are simply mechanically mixed in the hopper, and the mixed materials are then loaded by a bulldozer and then conveyed to the crusher via a belt.
  3. Crushing: The mixed materials are transported from the mixing workshop to the production workshop via a belt conveyor, and then conveyed to the vertical crusher via a belt conveyor for crushing. The crusher is only equipped with a feed port and a discharge port. After feeding, the feed port is closed and crushing is carried out to crush the materials to less than 8 mm.
  4. Screening: The crushed materials are conveyed to the pellet machine, and then to the cooler machine, and finally to the drum screening machine by a belt conveyor. The materials are screened with a drum screen, and the large pieces of materials screened out are returned to the crushing process through a belt conveyor for crushing. The screened materials are transported to the packaging machine through a belt conveyor and directly packaged to obtain powder products. According to the construction unit, the distance between the belt conveyor and the feeding port of the packaging machine is relatively close (<20cm).
  5. Packaging: The qualified materials are transported to the automatic packaging machine through a belt conveyor for packaging.

The current status of the organic fertilizer manufacturing plant in Mexico project does not adopt a fully enclosed factory building, and there are no collection and treatment measures for waste gas. This environmental impact assessment recommends the use of a closed steel structure factory building with multiple gas collection ports on the top of the factory building and a micro-negative pressure design.

The ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and dust generated in the production process are led to the waste gas treatment facilities (bag dust collector + activated carbon adsorption) through a negative pressure collection pipeline, and then discharged into the air through a 15m exhaust pipe after treatment.

Public works

Power supply

The electricity used in this organic fertilizer manufacturing plant in Mexico project is supplied by the local power supply network. The power supply is sufficient and the power transmission and transformation facilities are complete, which can meet the power needs of the project construction.

Water supply

The domestic water for the project is provided by the local water supply network, which can fully meet the water requirements of the project. The water used in the operation period of this project is mainly production water and domestic water.

Drainage

The wastewater generated by the project is mainly production wastewater and domestic sewage. The production wastewater is mainly car wash platform wastewater.

Car wash wastewater is recycled after sedimentation in the sedimentation tank and is not discharged. Domestic sewage is treated in a biogas tank and regularly cleaned and used as agricultural fertilizer without discharge.

Construction period process

The main construction period of this organic fertilizer manufacturing plant in Mexico project has ended, and the subsequent work is only the installation of waste gas treatment facilities. The pollution generated in this link is extremely small, and this assessment only conducts a brief analysis.

  1. Waste gas:
    The waste gas during the construction period is mainly construction dust, transportation vehicles and fuel machinery and equipment exhaust. No complaints or reports were received from nearby residents during the construction period.
  2. Wastewater:
    The wastewater during the construction period mainly includes construction production wastewater and construction domestic sewage. Domestic wastewater is collected by septic tanks and used for nearby farmland and forest land, and no construction domestic wastewater is discharged; construction production wastewater is treated in oil-separating sedimentation tanks and recycled for site sprinkling and dust reduction without being discharged, which has little impact on the surface water environment.
  3. Solid waste:
    The solid waste during the construction period mainly includes construction waste residues generated by equipment and facility installation and production workshop construction; packaging materials of machinery and equipment and packaging materials of decorative and renovation building materials; and domestic garbage generated by construction personnel. The sanitation department regularly transports them to the garbage transfer station for centralized disposal.
  4. Noise:
    The noise during the construction period mainly includes the noise of various construction machinery during the construction stage. No complaints or reports were received from nearby residents during the construction period.

Ecological impact: The organic fertilizer manufacturing plant in Mexico project area is a typical Mexican rural environment, mainly weeds and shrubs. The project construction will implement the above measures to effectively control various pollutants and prevent pollution in the factory area, which can reduce its impact on the surrounding ecological environment, and do a good job of greening and beautifying the surrounding area to reduce the impact on the ecological environment of the nearby area.
(1) A variety of plants that can absorb dust should be planted, especially those with rough leaf surfaces, interlaced leaf wrinkles, dense hairs or oil secretion, which have strong dust retention, adsorption and barrier effects.
(2) Targeted plants should be selected for greening and noise reduction. A variety of tall trees should be planted on both sides of the factory boundary and roads to form a three-dimensional barrier, which not only beautifies the environment but also plays a role in reducing noise.
