Fertilizers: Chemical Production, Application Challenges, and Process Instrumentation

Explore the fertilizer production process, challenges, and best instrumentation devices to ensure safety and reliability.
The global population is projected to reach 10.9 billion by the end of this century, putting pressure on growers to increase crop yields in an eco-friendlier way. This has led to a greater need for chemical fertilizers, which supply plants with essential nutrients. The fertilizer industry transforms raw materials such as air, natural gas, and mined ores into nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers.
