WATERLOO, Ontario, March 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FuelPositive Corporation, a leading Green Ammonia Company (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB:NHHHF) (the "Company" or "FuelPositive") is pleased to announce that it has filed a provisional patent for its new Green Aqueous Ammonia add-on module systems: the FP300A and FP1500A.
Once fully commercialized, this system could enable farmers to independently produce Green Aqueous Ammonia fertilizer on location at a significantly lower cost and with much lower GHGs than existing methods.
This groundbreaking integrated module provides farmers with a method for producing aqueous ammonia of adjustable nitrogen concentration from their FuelPositive on-farm system. The modular and safe design integrates seamlessly with their FP300 and FP1500 systems, offering flexibility in production volume and nitrogen concentration without compromising efficiency.
Ammonia is a key component in various fertilizers and industrial applications. While anhydrous ammonia (NH3) is widely used it is limited in specific circumstances, such as controlled environment agriculture. This is primarily due to safety protocols and transportation challenges. Lower nitrogen content aqueous ammonia is a preferred alternative in such scenarios.
Currently, the production of aqueous ammonia requires expansive facilities that yield significant quantities of the solution. Due to their scale, these facilities demand substantial water supplies and energy inputs, often relying on fossil fuels. Additionally, aqueous ammonia must be transported to and stored near its intended application site. This large-scale, centralized production method hinders easy adjustments to the nitrogen concentration of the produced aqueous ammonia fertilizer.
In contrast, FuelPositive's new module can produce Green Aqueous Ammonia on-site and adjust the concentration of the output fertilizer on demand, thus, allowing farmers to customize the nitrogen content of their fertilizers as needed.
By introducing its new add-on module, FuelPositive dramatically expands its market reach, empowering more farmers to transition towards green and independent fertilizer solutions.
The FP300 or FP1500 can now be upgraded to FP300A or FP1500A systems, thereby transforming Green Anhydrous Ammonia into Green Aqueous Ammonia Fertilizer.
Some highlights of the add-on module:
- Dual function: can produce both Green Anhydrous Ammonia and Green Aqueous Ammonia Fertilizers
- Farmers can choose their own Green Aqueous Ammonia concentrations from 5% to 30%.
- Farmers can choose Fertilizer PH balance.
- The FP300A and FP1500A modules utilize the same heating and cooling systems as the FP300 and FP1500, ensuring a streamlined and efficient process.
- Green Aqueous Ammonia requires fewer storage and handling safeguards than Green Anhydrous Ammonia, making it more accessible to a broader range of agricultural applications.
"We anticipate having the first Green Aqueous Ammonia module pilot ready this fall, and I'm thrilled that we can provide more smart fertilizer options to farmers and other customers." Nelson Leite, FuelPositive's Chief Technology Officer and Board Director, explains. "This technology milestone marks a new phase in FuelPositive's evolution and sets a new standard in the agricultural market, making affordable Green Aqueous Ammonia accessible to more farmers."
"FuelPositive is leading the transformation of traditional and heavily polluting chemical industries into environmentally sustainable solutions, particularly in fertilizers. In response to farmers' diverse needs, we've expanded our containerized Green Anhydrous Ammonia system to include a Green Aqueous Ammonia module. This need prompted our engineering team to design a unit that not only produces environmentally friendly and safe Green Aqueous Ammonia but also meets rigorous industry standards." ...
