Skilful design ensures safe, efficient and environmentally friendly
handling of fertilizer, Dry Cargo International (DCI), November 2023
Product loss and contamination during handling, transportation and storage are not only important cost considerations in the fertilizer sector, but also pose potential health and environmental pollution issues. Furthermore, dust generation, especially at transfer points, and loading on stockpiles, material degradation and huge corrosion problems are commonly encountered in the handling of fertilizer, requiring careful design of the materials handling systems and careful selection of materials and corrosion protection technology, notes DemcoTECH Engineering GM Paul van de Vyver.
