COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

This course is developed to provide the required knowledge to the course participants on the measures they can take at their facilities to maintain or improve the level of safety associated with the storage and handling of nitrogen fertilizers in general and ammonia & urea in particular. The course was driven by the industry’s responsibility to continuously improve the stewardship of fertilizer products to meet society’s demand for protecting the environment, human health and safety. 

 

The course will cover all solid (granules, crystals, pellets, prills and pastilles) fertilizers as well as anhydrous ammonia storage facilities. The course also outlines the recommendations and technical guidelines for the storage and handling of the following types of liquid fertilizers: 

·                                             Urea ammonium nitrate solutions 

·                                             Ammonium polyphosphate 

·                                             Ammonium thiosulphate
