Why the project happened
A fertilizer producer in Kenya commissioned a 8–10 t/h compound fertilizer granulation line. The project was driven by local demand growth, import substitution and the need for a reliable, formula-flexible production route.
What the customer faced
These are the specific issues the project was built to solve.
- Imported compound fertilizer was costly and supply was unpredictable
- Manual batching could not guarantee consistent formula accuracy
- Granulation stability depended on moisture and process control
- The plant needed drying, cooling and screening to produce storage-stable granules
- Operators required simple, dependable control
Limits we designed around
Real projects are never ideal. These constraints shaped the configuration and delivery plan.
- Site utilities (steam/power) and space were fixed before design
- Project had a defined commissioning window
- Operator experience was limited, favoring a standard proven route
- Tropical/humid or hot conditions required matched drying, cooling and packing
Why we configured it this way
We supplied a complete compound line: PLC batching, rotary-drum granulation, drying, cooling, screening and bagging, engineered as one control loop. The configuration follows the standard route that is most widely proven for this product type, with automation matched to the customer's operating team and formula flexibility. Key highlights delivered: Large silo batching + 2080 rotary drum granulation line.
