Reduction of the potash (KCl) caking phenomenon

ICL Innovation seeks technologies to prevent KCl (Potash) from agglomerating during transport. 

Background

Potassium Chloride tends to agglomerate during transport and storage, mainly due to exposure to humidity and environmental conditions. Methods to reduce the caking effects exist, but could be improved. As a commodity, there is not much room for additional cost, and therefore this is a prime consideration. 

Our criteria

1. Cost- the additional cost should be minimal
2. Performance against alternatives
3. Effects on final product- minimal adverse effect

Information on ICL's fertilizers can be found in the ICL Fertilizers web page.

As a technology incubator, ICL Innovation is looking only for innovative technologies that may be further developed and commercialized through a business unit in ICL.
