Engineering Evaluation of Selected Fertilizer Production Facilities in Colombia,

摘要

The report is the result of a study by a team of experts of two segments of the Colombian fertilizer industry: (1) the facilities of Fertilizantes Colombianos, S.A. (FERTICOL),and (2) a sampling of small bulk-blending plants. The first part of the report provides general information about the fertilizer situation in Colombia. The results of the analysis of the FERTICOL plant are then presented. This includes flow diagrams of alternative production schemes,and projections of investment and operating costs. Similarly,operating problems are identified and alterations in equipment,raw materials,and procedures to improve operations are suggested for the bulk-blending plants. (Author)
