Objective
The objective of the IFA-IFDC workshop is to provide engineers in the fertilizer industry an in-depth view of phosphate fertilizer production technologies and identify future trends and needs. The workshop will examine the status and most recent technologies to produce phosphate fertilizers and intermediate materials.
The workshop will help improve participants’ skills and broaden their vision and understanding of the entire industry, including technology, economics, energy use, safety, and environmental stewardship. The knowledge gained will enable participants to solve specific problems and improve operation and profitability of their plants. The workshop will provide an opportunity to exchange ideas and disseminate information through discussion of the various technical, economic, safety, and environmental issues.
The workshop is designed for engineers new to the fertilizer industry, engineers who have recently assumed new responsibilities, and for those who would like to become better acquainted with new technologies in the industry.
Workshop Content
The workshop will include formal sessions, break out groups, and visits to factories. Interactive discussion involving the participants and lecturers will be an integral part of the program to ensure that specific interests are covered.
Topics to be addressed by a faculty of industry experts will include:
• A global overview and outlook of the phosphate fertilizer industry.
• Economics of the industry.
• Phosphoric acid production.
• Phosphate fertilizer production.
– Single Superphosphate
– Triple Superphosphate
– Ammonium Phosphates (MAP/DAP)
– Nitrophosphates
– Compound (NPK) Fertilizers
– Ammonium Nitrate Based
– Urea Based
– Bulk Blends
• Fertilizer chemical and physical specifications and product quality.
• Energy, environmental, and safety issues.
• Packaging, transportation, and handling.
Workshop Cost and Enrollment
The program fee for the 5-day workshop is US $2,500 for IFA members and US $2,600 for non-IFA members, per participant. The program fee is due with enrollment but not later than September 19, 2009. Thereafter a late program fee of US $2,700 (US $2,800 for non-IFA members) will apply. The program fee will be refunded in full for cancellations made 2 weeks prior to the commencement of the program; thereafter 20% of the paid fee will be charged to cover administrative costs.
The workshop fee covers registration, training and reference material, coffee/tea breaks, all lunches, and surface transportation on field trips. The fee also includes a reception and dinner on October 19. It does not include air travel, lodging and dinner expenses, or medical and communication expenses.
