Calcium Ammonium Nitrate Production Cost Reports

Calcium Ammonium Nitrate production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Calcium Ammonium Nitrate production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Calcium ammonium nitrate, also known as CAN, nitro-limestone, or nitrochalk, is used most commonly in places like inorganic fertilizer. One variety of calcium ammonium nitrate is created by adding powdered limestone to ammonium nitrate, while another fully water-soluble version can be prepared by a mixture of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate, which can crystallize as a hydrated double salt.

Fertilizer grade CAN have roughly 8% calcium and around 21-27% nitrogen. Calcium ammonium nitrate is preferred to be used on acid soils because it acidifies the soil than any other common nitrogen fertilizer. It can also be used as a substitute for ammonium nitrate where ammonium nitrate is banned. Calcium ammonium nitrate is also used in some instant cold packs as an alternative to ammonium nitrate. Moreover, it is utilised in improvised explosives as well. However, calcium ammonium nitrate is not used directly, but it is instead first converted to ammonium nitrate.

Calcium Ammonium Nitrate is primarily used as a fertilizer and significantly bolsters the plant nutrients requirement. Moreover, it also finds employment in explosives, waste waster treatment, and as cold packs. The major impetus to the market growth of CAN is in the agricultural sector. Keeping up with the expansion of population, the agricultural sector is ramping up the crop yield, which perpetuates the need for efficient fertilizers like CAN. Moreover, it is safe to be used compared to the other contending fertilizers that adds to its market and upticks its demand.
