New Safer Fertilizer

Honeywell International Inc. announced in September that it has developed a patented new technology to produce a highly-effective, safer ammonium nitrate-based fertilizer with significantly lower explosive potential.

The company noted that the new technology had received SAFETY Act designation from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or DHS under the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act. Further, the United Nations and U.S Department of Transportation Standards had tested and found that the fertilizer was non-hazardous and non-oxidizing.

The new technology fuses ammonium sulfate with ammonium nitrate, providing both nitrogen and sulfur needed for efficient plant nutrition as well as enhanced safety, quality and storage characteristics. Honeywell said it was now looking for manufacturing partners for the production of the fertilizer.
