The NH3 granular nitrate product clogs up; how should the process be adjusted?
Thread Content
Recently, there have been problems with caking of the granular NH3 product; I’m not sure what the cause is – how should the process be adjusted?
My company has very high standards for product quality; any caking is considered abnormal. The leader wants the cause to be investigated – it’s really frustrating.
Is it due to climate change?
Granular nitrate is pure nitric acid AN, without any additives; it possesses the properties of plate nitrate, and it would be strange if it did not clump together.
I wonder how long the lumps mentioned by the original poster have been there? Our granular nitrate maintains excellent looseness even after being stored for half a month. The key is to reduce the moisture content and lower the packaging temperature as well.
Sir, just reduce the moisture content of the product
Adding a wrapping agent solves the problem. Our unit adds a packaging agent.
Reply to 8# tjdxz: My company requires the addition of additives and encapsulants when producing porous products； However, no additives or encapsulants are used during particle production. I would like to ask tjdxz for help in finding out exactly how many kilograms of encapsulant need to be added per ton of product when producing particles at your facility.
Reply to 8# tjdxz, friend from Luocheng: What kind of additives should be added, and what is the amount per ton?
To reduce moisture, control the evaporator condition
