Generally speaking, a compound fertilizer production line can produce various
chemical fertilizer, such as NPK fertilizers. The annual output ranges from 20,000
tons to 200,000 tons. Our compound fertilizer production line is with low equipment
investment and good economic returns. Compound fertilizer can not only raise soil
fertility, but also help plants grow fast. It is essential for compound fertilizer
manufacturer or green hands to make best preparation before getting your
business started, which is directly related to economic effect. Here comes the
questions: what preparatory work should be done before establishing a new
compound fertilizer plant? How to start? It will be discussed as followings.

Soil Analysis
1.Soil type
Soil texture is divided into sandy soil, clay and loam.
The drought resistance ability of sandy soil is weak. It is
easy to be leaking so that it contains less nutrients. This
kind of soil is lack of clay and organic materials, leading
to weak nutrient preserving capability. Readily available
fertilizer is prone to lose with rainwater and irrigation
water, causing effective but short fertilizer efficiency. It
hence should use organic fertilizer and apply additional
fertilizer in time.

Clay contains various soil nutrients and has high organic matter content. It mainly concludes
secondary minerals in soil, being rich in potential nutrients, especially in K, Ca and Mg. Clay is
characterized of fine soil particles, plenty of colloidal substances and strong adsorption
capacity. It has good water absorption, water-retaining property and fertilizer retention
capacity but slow fertilizer efficiency. Most of soil nutrients can not easily lost by rain and
irrigation. It affects growth of root systems and impedes the root absorption of soil nutrients as
well. Nitrogen fertilizer and slow release fertilizer are suitable for the soil.
Clay loam is an ideal soil, with advantages of sandy soil and clay. Loam is ideal soil for
cultivation of medicinal plants, which is adapted to grow a variety of plants. Plants, which roots
and rhizomes used as medicine, are more fit to grow in loam. Accordingly, fertilizer, promoting
the growth of roots, can be used in the soil, such as nitrogen fertilizer and phosphatic fertilizer.

2.Soil nutrient analysis
Being analysis of chemical elements in soil provides the basis for needed nutrients in the process
of plants growth, which helps fertilizer manufacturers choose proper factory formula, aiming to
improve soil and increase fertilizer efficiency.
After analyzing the content of nitrogen, phosphor, potassium and organic materials, it can be
known of the condition of abundance or deficiency of nutrients in soil. It also shows the impact
of various technical measures on soil and crop nutrients, thereby as a basis of water and
fertilizer management.
※Nitrogen
Nitrogen exits in the form of organic species and arsenic in soil. Organic nitrogen transforms
into inorganic nitrogen. It mainly includes ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen. Therefore,
ammonium and nitrate determination are major evidence for nitrogen content. The Kjeldahl
method is used to determine nitrogen content.

6. Preparatory Work for New Compound Fertilizer Production Line
※Phosphorus
Phosphorus is divided into organic phosphorus and inorganic phosphorus. Inorganic
phosphorus exists in mineral soil, while organic phosphor accounts for 20-50% of total
phosphorus. Organic phosphor and total phosphor are main determination while we study
phosphor in soil.
※Potassium
Total potassium content in soil is generally about 1-2%, structure potassium about 90-98% and
rapidly available potassium accounting for 0.1 K %.
According to the existing state of potassium and absorptive character, potassium in soil is
divided into the ancient mineral potassium ( insoluble potassium), non-exchangeable potassium
(slow-release potassium), exchangeable potassium and water-soluble potassium. There are
weight method, volumetric method, colorimetry, tubidmetry, flame photometry and atomic
absorption spectrophotometry.

※Soil organic matter
Organic materials in soil mainly refer to matters with carbon,
including wrack of animals and plants, residue and waste
water and microbial residues. Soil organic matter is an
important part of solid phase of soil. It plays a very
important role in soil formation, soil fertility, environmental
protection and sustainable development of agriculture.
Soil organic matter directly affects the soil resistance, soil
moisture, cushioning properties, tilth, aeration and soil
temperature. It is not only one of important indexes of the
level of soil fertility, but also is the basis for evaluation of
classification of irrigated land. Its analysis method is
potassium dichromate - sulfuric acid oxidation.

3.Soil pH determination
Soil pH, also known as soil reaction, is acid-base reaction
of soil solution. It depends on the concentration of
hydrogen ions in the soil solution. It is neutral solution
when the pH of the solution is equal to 7. If pH value is less
than 7, the reaction is acidic. Once pH is greater than 7, it
is alkaline reaction. Its analysis methods include mixed
indicator colorimetry, permanent level colorimetric
method(suitable for outdoors) and potentiometric titration.

Determination of Nutrients Proportion
After soil analysis in target market, fertilizer production ingredient can be
made up. On the basis of soil analysis, fertilizer field experiments, law of
demand and nutrient supply capacity, manufacturer can make plans for
compound fertilizer production, which directly affects the content of nitrogen,
phosphorus, potassium, secondary element and microelement. In essence, it is
used soil analysis and fertilization theory to determine proportion in terms of
fertilizer nutrients ratio.

Different crops have different characteristics of nutrient requirements. Crops may need an
adequate supply of potassium, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, sugar beets, sugar cane, hemp,
watermelons, bananas and tobacco. Rapeseed, cotton and sugar beets need much boron. Garlic,
scallion, onion and cole need much sulfur. However, leguminous crops have root nodules
nitrogenase activity, so nitrogen required is relatively small but it has multi-requirement of
phosphorus and potassium. Fertilizer formulations can be formulated according to the
nutritional characteristics of these crops.
When fertilizer is put on production, quality of products should be guaranteed and meet a
criterion. Therefore, it is important to build precious and convenient computing method of
inventory. Having a strong understanding of market requirements is conductive to fertilizer
production.

Production Condition
Before starting a new compound fertilizer production line, several precondition need to be
taken into account. How much prior-perido investment is needed? What kind of fertilizer
granulator machine is most suitable? These are some conditions in the process of production.
※Geographic position
Well-developed transportation network is one of factor to be thought firstly. The place, where
next to rail station, expressway and highway, can be chosen. On the other hand, the site
selection of building a grass roots refinery should be close to raw material production plant,
which ensures adequate supply source. Necessary raw materials are mainly ammonium
phosphate, potassium chloride, urea, potassium sulfate, ammonium sulfate, superphosphate
and so on.

12. Preparatory Work for a New Compound Fertilizer Production Line
※Infrastructure condition
Water, electricity and steam supply should meet the requirements. As for
annual production of 20 tons of compound fertilizer production line, it takes
6-8 tons of water per hour equipment for production equipments. It mainly
used for granulation. It needs 1-2 deep wells as well. It is continuous
production of the production line. Because of third class load, it normally
takes 2-4 transformers. The project needs to be heated in the process of
production, so boilers are necessities.

13. Preparatory Work for a New Compound Fertilizer Production Line
※Fertilizer machine
It needs complete set of fertilizer equipment, from fertilizer mixer machine to
fertilizer packager for a complete compound fertilizer production line, so it is
important for investors to choose the right fertilizer equipment
manufacturer/retailer. Generally speaking, in the whole line, there is fertilizer mixer,
fertilizer granulator, fertilizer dryer, fertilizer cooler, fertilizer screening machine,
fertilizer coating machine and fertilizer packaging machine. All those fertilizer
machines are indispensable part for the whole line. Here I would like to show you
our 50,000 tons/year compound fertilizer plant with full set of fertilizer machines,
for your reference only.

Capital Budget and Economic Benefit Analysis
The investment estimation scope usually consists of
new workshops, new equipment, installation charge,
basic budget reserve, working capital and interest
incurred during construction. The costs should be be
taken a fill consideration, ensuring abundance of
capital.
On the basis of production line given period,
construction period and startup time, to make
preliminary estimate returns is the first step in
production.

※Cost estimation
Raw material: it can be calculated according to market price.
Salary and welfare fund expense: the expenditure is related to the number of
workers, technicians and managers.
Depreciation charges of fixed assets: civil engineering is depreciated in twenty
years, while equipment in twelve years.
Amortization charge: it contains intangible asset and deferred assets.
Other expenses: it refers to charges deducted from manufacturing costs,
administrative expenses, selling expenses, the cost of depreciation and amortization
charge.

※Analysis of profitability
It is made up of sales revenue and profit. Based on factors in market change, sales
programs should be planned in advance. Sales revenue involves different factors.
Product price: the price making is kept reasonable and equitable as much as
possible.
Production capacity: according to market changes, fertilizer manufacturers
should stabilize the production capacity in the former years. In addition, it should
be adjusted according to market requirement.

17. Preparatory Work for a New Compound Fertilizer Production Line
Before starting a new compound fertilizer production line, it needs a lot of
preparation except from soil analysis, determination of nutrient proportion,
production condition and capital budget. It is important to save water and energy
saving as well. It can not be overlooked of environment protection. What ’ s more,
enterprise organization and management is the core work for a new project, which
directly affects production plan. Work fixed member management and staff training
are supposed to be taken into account. To conclude, the decision maker must pay
attention to the interests of the whole and the project executive should get into the
details. All the work is to prepare for the new production line. When every step is
done well, the production line can be put into normal use in time.
