I want one in my yard for next year. Anyone else
want in on it. I only need a 1/3 share. Should
produce 3 tons a day. Should be enough for
20000ac. A year

Can't wait to see the look on the Sask. Energy Inspector's face when he sees my rig pulling a natural gas line back and forth across the field.

Pulling the line back and forth???

Even if it was 40 mcf, that's 150$ a
tonne for NH3.

BTW 900 degree air at 2800 to 14,000 psi
takes some serious infrastructure!

What is the cost of investment, maintenance, safety and regulation.
Is it ony for personal use, or can you become a micro fertilizer dealership? If the price is right, there looks like a good margin. I dont think trucking the juice to a distribution point has been calculated. It still looks profitable. I like the idea that, if LNG gets too expensive, or fertilizer gets too cheap, the company just idles the plant. Then, fire up when there is profit in it. Too simple?

Exactly wd9, I checked our gas bill and that's what it
would work out to per ton of nh3 produced. There is
a few different sites for explaining this process if u
look around. Only problem is it says that the pilot
project will cost them 4 mil to set up. That's a big
investment, but I'm sure it's probably less than half
that if you don't have to pay a team of absent
minded professors to wander around with a
clipboard for enviroMENTAL analysis, and dotting
the lower cased j's.
I'm going to find out tomorrow what this thing costs.
It looks like the whole system would fit into 3 or 4
containers.(without the storage tanks of coarse)

Hobbyfarmer do some more research. Your plastic injection molding machine can produce over 20 thousand psi and a little modification the heat and fits in your dining room with room to spare. Just need enough heads together and someone is going to do it.

I know the university of Minnesota was developing a smaller scale
plant using wind energy. I think that the theory of wind energy on
a small scale plant is that it is better use of or store of energy
than how we are using wind farms now.

Daylate for some reason I couldn't get the original link to work so I searched it out and found it [URL="http://www.rbnenergy.com/fertile-prospects-for-natural-gas%E2%80%93can-ammonia-soak-up-bakken-gas-surplus"]here.[/URL]

This is what farmers need. Finaly a way to fu&* the Fert Companies for screwing us for years.

Are these Farmer Owned plants going to have to go through the inspections, testing and security requirements that the dealer owned tanks have to go through? I think we forget that some of the costs involved in the price of fertilizer is the government red-tape is involved.
