NIIK continues promoting its innovative technology to produce complex fertilizers
NIIK delegation presented by President&CEO Igor Esin and Head of International Affairs department Natalia Kargaeva took part in the 7th Annual GPCA Fertilizer Convention in Dubai on September 5-8 2016.
The subject matter of the conference included the key challenges faced by fertilizer industry: price on nitrogen fertilizers (more particularly urea) sharply decreased over the recent years, industry's over-production and resulted over stocking, shut down of obsolete production facilities due to outdated technologies etc.
To adapt a new reality best fertilizer management practices should be used such as balanced or appropriate fertilization improving nutrient use and increasing crop productivity. One of the sessions was devoted to sulfur deficiency which can be easily corrected with sulphur -containing fertilizers such as urea with sulphur and urea with ammonium sulphate. High Speed Drum Granulation technology is designed for production of a wide range of complex fertilizers with several essential nutrients. NIIK's report addressing HSDG unit has generated a great deal of interest and was especially marked by conference participants.
Producers of mineral fertilizer in the Middle East awaits for start up and successful commercial operation of the unit realized in QAFCO, the world's largest producer of ammonia and urea. Given the increased attention of Middle East manufacturers to our technology the representatives of GPCA committee asked NIIK to submit the article to present the technology in details.
During the conference NIIK's representatives held several effective meetings and discussed ongoing work and upcoming projects in Russia and abroad.
