Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) Production Cost Reports

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

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.

Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) is widely used as a fertiliser; where it works by being dissolved in water and releasing its main two compounds, 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.
