The largest fertilizer manufacturer in Turkey, Gemlik Gübre, produces various types of fertilizers that are exported all over the world. The company recently constructed a large storage building in Bursa to hold up to 150,000 tons of nitrogen based Calcium Ammonium Nitrate or CAN fertilizer and selected Munters to control the storage facility's climate.
With outdoor conditions in Bursa reaching 99°F, 141 gr/lb (approx. 50% RH), dehumidification of the warehouse was inevitable.
CAN fertilizer is highly hygroscopic and must be stored at humidity levels below 30% RH, anything beyond those conditions will crystallize the product, disturbing the high product quality and consequently creating expensive waste.
Munters systems are the perfect solution to meet these conditions. Two Munters desiccant units equipped with pre-and post-cooling were installed on the storage building to treat 56,000 cfm of outside air for constant climate control.
Benefits of Munters dehumidification:
- Constant storage climate year-round
- High product quality
- Reduce waste - save money
- Integrated pre- and post- treatment
