Abstract
This document presents research on low-pressure suspensions, specifically focusing on their production, handling, and application in agriculture. The authors, Carl A. Cole Jr., Frank P. Achorn, and Michael F. Broder, discuss the advantages of low-pressure suspensions regarding cost, raw material versatility, and increased concentration compared to solution fertilizers. The study explores the use of ammonia as a nitrogen source and its similarities to aqua ammonia. Various laboratory tests and plant-scale demonstrations are described, highlighting the ease of production, storage, and application of low-pressure suspensions. Additionally, the document discusses the design of mixing plants, mixing procedures, and application techniques. Cost comparisons between low-pressure suspensions and conventional solutions show potential savings for fertilizer dealers and farmers. The research emphasizes the benefits and feasibility of low-pressure nitrogen suspensions as an alternative fertilizer option.
