Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) Production Cost Reports

The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing a monoammonium phosphate manufacturing plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for monoammonium phosphate production, including the cost of monoammonium phosphate production, monoammonium phosphate plant cost, monoammonium phosphate production costs, and the overall monoammonium phosphate manufacturing plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a monoammonium phosphate production plant. These encompass manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.

Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) is a chemical compound that is widely used as a fertilizer in the form of leafy spray method or drip irrigation method, where it works by being dissolved in water and releasing ammonium (NH4+) and phosphate (H2PO4–) ions, which are vital for proper, healthy, and sustained plant growth. Furthermore, it is usually employed in dry chemical fire extinguishers that are usually present in homes, schools, and offices.

In extinguisher spray, it is available in the form of a fine powder that smothers the flame. Besides its main applications, it can be employed in the food industry as a dough conditioner, leavening agent, and emulsifier in baking. It is also added to nutritional supplements in animal feed. Its pharma-grade product is included in various medicines, buffers, and tablet coatings in the medical sector.

In the skincare application, it is used as a pH adjuster in products. Also, industrial-grade Monoammonium Phosphate, a higher phosphate concentration, is employed in the production of products like detergents and cleaning solutions. It can also be used to make plastics and resins.

The market for monoammonium phosphate is majorly driven by its demand for its use as a fertilizer, which helps sustain healthy plant growth which increases its demand for the agricultural and chemical fertilizers industry. It is also employed in dry chemical fire extinguishers that are usually present in schools and offices, thus contributing to its demand in the office equipment industry. Moreover, it is also employed in the food, animal feed, pharmaceutical, medical, and personal care industries, where it is extensively used as a dough conditioner, emulsifier in baking, nutritional supplement in animal feed, some medicines, buffers, tablet coatings, detergent, and cleaning solutions, respectively. Furthermore, several factors influence industrial monoammonium phosphate (MAP) procurement, such as the cost and availability of its feedstock, such as ammonia, phosphoric acid, the market prices of monoammonium phosphate, environmental regulations, quality standards, and its distribution, which includes trading and transportation, logistics, etc.

Raw Material for Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) Production

According to the Monoammonium Phosphate manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) production include Ammonia-Phosphoric Acid.

Manufacturing Process of Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP)

The extensive Monoammonium Phosphate production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from Ammonia and Phosphoric Acid in A Pipe-Cross Reactor: This method begins with the process of pre-neutralisation of phosphoric acid with ammonia to form monoammonium phosphate. This reaction results in the synthesis of monoammonium phosphate (MAP) and water. This pre-neutralized mixture is then pumped into a pipeline reactor where it is reacted with some additional ammonia at a controlled rate. This process generates heat which facilitates the solidification of the MAP and evaporation of water. Further, granular MAP is created by solidifying the resultant MAP slurry.

Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) (NH4H2PO4) is an important granular fertiliser. It's an inorganic compound that comes in various grades, including pharma, food, industrial, and fertiliser.

MAP is a great source of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N), comprising 12% nitrogen and 52% phosphorus. These elements are standard in the fertiliser industry and include more phosphorus compared to any other solid fertiliser. It is soluble in water with a solubility of 32.8 g/100ml of water (37.4, technical grade) at 20°C, which makes it quickly dissolve in the soil if an adequate moisture level is present. It usually comes in a spherical and granular shape.

The granule's surrounding pH (4-4.5) is slightly acidic, making it the perfect fertiliser in both neutral- and high-pH soils. Its colour ranges from cream /white – yellow brown – grey. It can easily blend with urea, LAN, Potassium Chloride, Ammonium Sulphate, Potassium Sulphate, and Potassium Nitrate.
