Phosphate fertilizers
Proven and reliable equipment for the phosphate industry
Our pumps, agitators, mixers and compressors provide efficiency, reliability and durability in phosphate applications.
Phosphorus (P) is essentially found in natural phosphate ores. To produce fertilizers, it is mainly transformed into intermediate phosphoric acid and then mixed with other nutrients, but it can also be reacted directly with acid.
The production of phosphate fertilizers can be divided into three distinct activities: the mining and beneficiation of phosphate rock, the production of phosphoric acid, and the production of phosphate fertilizers. For all these main activities, different techniques exist with their own specific applications and operating conditions.
Phosphate rock mining and beneficiation
Through our worldwide installed base of equipment, we have been providing solutions for the phosphate rock beneficiation process for decades. Backed by this experience and proven solutions in other metals and mining processes, Sulzer is able to provide you with slurry, mine dewatering and process pumps as well as heavy-duty agitators to meet the process requirements. The complete product offering includes all fluid and compressed air management applications with high-efficiency centrifugal blowers and compressors as well as liquid ring vacuum pumps.
Your applications:
- HP water pump
- Tank agitator/mixer
- Mill discharge pump
- Hydrocyclone feed/UF/OF pump
