Moisture Content Determination in Fertilizers
Moisture Content Determination in Fertilizers

In fertilizer manufacturing, moisture content is important in three key areas. Moisture is measured in the raw fertilizer materials for quantitative assessment, during fertilizer production for efficient in-process control, and in the quality control of finished fertilizer products for defining the overall quality, shelf-life and usability. Fast and precise information on moisture content can significantly contribute to ensuring quality and improving efficiency in fertilizer manufacturing. Quality standards defined by various regulatory bodies around the world include measuring moisture to ensure fertilizers perform as required.
