Fertiliser Coating Plants & Engineering
Project-specific fertiliser coating plants: treatment chemistry, process engineering, dosing, automation, commissioning and ongoing technical support from CEON AGRI.
CHEMISTRY · PROCESS · PLANT · SUPPORT
From fertiliser chemistry
to a working production line.
CEON develops project-specific fertiliser coating systems, bringing the treatment chemistry, process design, equipment and operating support into one coordinated scope.
For producers, blenders and investment partners planning a new line or adapting an existing operation. Our London and Belfast offices support UK, Ireland and international project enquiries.
ONE COORDINATED PROJECT
Define the product.
Engineer the process.
Equipment selection starts with the base fertiliser, coating system and operating window. The plant and chemistry are specified together.
Process definition
Preparation, dosing, spray distribution and mixer conditions developed around actual solids flow and product quality.
Plant delivery
Equipment, automation and site interfaces, with installation support and an agreed commissioning programme.
Operating support
Operator training, procedures, chemistry supply, spares and optimisation within the contracted service scope.
THE COATING LINE
Two streams.
One controlled process.
The coating dose follows the measured fertiliser mass flow. Recipes, interlocks and traceable quality checks connect application to release.
Solid feed
Fertiliser handling
Buffer storage · weighing · metered flow
Liquid feed
Coating preparation
Storage · preparation tank · metering pumps
Controlled application
Spray system + coating mixer
Flow measurement · spray distribution · recipe controls · interlocks
Quality gate
Check & release
Representative sampling · agreed acceptance tests · lot traceability
Finished product
Pack or bulk dispatch
Transfer and packing interfaces to suit the site
Illustrative process architecture. Final equipment, safeguards, operating limits and acceptance criteria are defined for each installation.
CHOOSE THE SITE ROUTE
Integrate a line.
Or build a dedicated operation.
INTEGRATED DOWNSTREAM LINE
Connect to an existing or planned plant.
Review tie-in points, upstream and downstream capacity, shutdown access, bypass arrangements and controls integration. Dosing and product transfer are coordinated with the host line.
- Handling and packing interfaces
- PLC recipes and site DCS communication
- Utilities, access and installation windows
STANDALONE COATING LINE
Run from stored fertiliser feed.
Define storage, feed logistics, the coating area and finished-product handling around campaign production. Changeovers and cleaning are planned for the intended product portfolio.
- Stock-fed production campaigns
- Footprint and storage requirements
- Bagged or bulk finished-product routes
PROJECT DELIVERY SCOPE
From design basis
to operator handover.
A turnkey package can combine plant delivery and recurring chemistry support, or these can be contracted separately.
Engineering
Design basis, process layout, equipment duties and interface definition.
Equipment
Tanks, pumps, flow measurement, spray manifolds, mixer or drum and transfer systems.
Automation
Recipes, dosing logic, interlocks, traceability and integration with site controls.
Installation support
Equipment integration and coordination against the agreed site responsibilities.
Commissioning
Calibration, operating checks and product trials against an agreed acceptance protocol.
Training & procedures
Operator handover, cleaning, changeover, sampling and operating procedures.
Chemistry supply
Initial and recurring coating formulation supply within the product and commercial specification.
After-sales support
Technical support, spares planning and process optimisation under the service agreement.
Civil works, utilities, local labour, shipping and customs responsibilities are agreed in the project scope. Capacity, cost and schedule follow the site design basis.
CEON PROJECT ARCHIVE
Equipment and experience
from the production floor.
Selected CEON project photographs show formulation preparation, dosing, mixing, plant integration and finished-product handling.
MIXING & COATING
Site work connects the process to the equipment.
Preparation vessels, dosing equipment and solids handling need to work together around the selected formulation and operating conditions.
Our engineering scope brings these interfaces into the project brief, commissioning plan and operator handover.

TECHNOLOGY SELECTION
Match the chemistry
to the nitrogen pathway.
NBPT · urease inhibition
For specified urea treatment routes, addressing the initial urea hydrolysis step.
DMPP / DCD · nitrification inhibition
For qualified stabilised-nitrogen routes, acting on the conversion of ammonium to nitrate.
Urea-based nitrification-inhibitor routes and dual-treatment systems are specified for the base fertiliser, treatment chemistry and destination. Compatibility, stability and product-specific claims are assessed within the agreed supply and plant scope. Carbon and humic routes are assessed separately; their inclusion does not establish inhibitor or controlled-release performance.
QUALITY BUILT INTO THE BRIEF
Agree what success
will be measured against.
- 01
Dose and distribution
Mass balance, representative sampling and coating uniformity.
- 02
Product integrity
Active-content assay where applicable, moisture, granule strength, dust and caking checks.
- 03
Traceable release
Lot records, acceptance criteria, deviation handling and product hold procedures.
