Manufacturing NH3 Locally,  Exactrix Review of Power Costs.
 The Lowest is Idaho at 8 cents.

The Great Plains Reporter has news based on cost per KWH or Kilowatts Per Hour. 

  • The average cost is 12 cents  per KWH at the consumer level across the country.
  • The highest cost is 33 cents in Hawaii.
  • Idaho is lowest cost in the nation at 8 cents and mainly older hydro power plants, wind, coal and some nuclear.  
  • Washington cost is 8.2 cents and mainly hydro power, nuclear and some wind.
  • Nebraska cost is 9 cents with coal and minor amounts of hydro, nuclear and wind.
  • Kansas cost is 10.5 cents per KW.

If you own a used Caterpillar Gen Set, a 40 year old D-399 at 1,000 KW you can make power with diesel for about 3.5 cents per KWH.

But the low break mean effective pressure engine, and also the low rpm design wears out eventually.  So the producer will need to find another used hospital standby Gen set, D-399 that was built in Mossville, IL in 1975.  

If your goal is 40,000 hours before rebuild….A natural gas version of the 399 will go to 40,000 hours if it burns very clean, natural gas as a G-399. But you will need at least two G-399, V-16 engines since they are derated to 650 hp each compared to the diesel D-399, Marine rating.  

Since the G-399, V-16 engines will probably not run more than 1,800 to 2,200 hours per year. The engine design of G-399 has solved the uptime problem for about 18 to 20 years.

Big Cat Gens also require maintenance. A man must be dedicated to the engine….about 20 hours per month….or 240 hours per year.  

So for a big center pivot operator (100 pivots) can make power including some infrastructure for the power transmission to the electric driven pumps for about 4.5 cents per KWH. 

Normally on site power with very clean Natural Gas will make a big difference. Full power may not be required more than 20% of the time over 3 months seasonal use.  

This is the reason the petroleum miners are not using or fueling flare gas and making power in the shale fields of ND and Texas.  

The mined flare gas has impurities requiring a cleanup at a centralized processing plant like the Jayhawk Processing plant at the Hugoton Gas Field at Ulysses, KS. 

https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2011/10/27/141766341/the-price-of-electricity-in-your-state  The KWH price average is calculated for each state.

For sure,  Wind Power is gaining and bulk rates are low as 2 cents per KWH….but not always reliable.  

This is where the NH3 battery comes in to absorb the fluctuation of the wind vs. the demand. A large  accumulator is required for storage and that becomes NH3 for power and for food.   

Note: The Kellogg single train compressors may need to be phased out due to more localized needs and varying wind speeds.

Smaller NH3 multiple train compressors may be required to process NH3.   

NH3 is a great place to store power under pressure or refrigerated at atmospheric pressure in very large non-pressure vessels. 

https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/plugged-in/wind-energy-is-one-of-the-cheapest-sources-of-electricity-and-its-getting-cheaper/    Bigger Windmills.  

Why Anhydrous Ammonia is a power source? A good article is included from the Scientific American.

Note: If enough local wind powered plants were built NH3 could be priced at 42 cents per gallon or about
10 cents per lb. of N.

This would break the Oligarchy of NH3 on the Great Plains due to local delivery and alternate use of NH3 for power.

No more Mega Scale, 3,300 ton per day NH3 plants would be on the drawing board.

Windmills helped the pioneers settle the Great Plains.

The windmill population of a different scale is coming back wherever you go in the USA and Canada

As a crop nutrient NH3 (80% total built is Agricultural) has the lowest carbon foot print of any fertilizer.

And NH3 when built from wind power and hydro power has the ability to help stabilize the climate.

  • About 3% of all the Natural gas mined is used to build NH3. A minor part of the Natural Gas market but significant on the Great Plains because of the stranded Natural Gas.
  • No-tillage farming systems applying NH3 help to store the carbon. 
  • Tillage of agricultural soils releases tremendous amounts of carbon into the atmosphere.
  • Diesel powered pickups will soon be using NH3/Diesel injection mix for more power, longer engine life and cleaner burning without def fluid.  
  • In 2016 176 million tonnes of NH3 was produced. One of the most common inorganic compounds produced in the world.
  • Production of NH3 is led by China at 31.9% and the USA at 7%.

If windmills can make electrical power for 2 cents per KW (Scientific American Report included),  then Anhydrous Ammonia should be made from syn gas (pure hydrogen). Pure syngas built by means of electrolysis is now competitive on a local basis.  

PUD’s or Public Power companies should be making NH3 and not necessarily farmer owned Coops it appears. 

A very big plus is local manufacture of the NH3 with a changing world demand for food and power.  

Thus a slight shift away from natural gas making syngas (pure hydrogen) and more chances to make a dual functional product that transports as Heavy Hydrogen, NH3,  in lower cost carbon steel pressure vessels and fabricated carbon steel pipelines.  

Norway started with dams powered hydrolysis, The TVA started with dam powered hydrolysis. Norwegian Yara seems to think that hydro works. Yara has been using Electrolysis to build NH3 since 1911.   Yara is the largest of all manufacturers of NH3 in the world.  

“Anhydrous Ammonia becomes a storage battery for wind and water power. NH3 is utilized to make power around the world.”   

NH3 is totally clean burning, a non-carcinogen,  and in most cases except for agriculture , a clean nitrogen returns to the atmosphere where it came from.  

NH3 is now planned for ocean shipping engine power due to low emissions and a condensed power package.  

It will not be long before your Cat diesel engine will run on 30% NH3   Def fluid (urea) is not required.  

Your new Caterpillar baseball cap will say. Caterpillar, Diesel/NH3 Power.  

Or in Washington, Caterpillar/Water Power. Or in Kansas, Caterpillar/Wind Power.  

Mariah may not be the monster of the Great Plains but a gift from God just like the Columbia River.

  • The Exactrix® NH3 becomes 166% more crop effective in No-tillage farming with precision.  
  • No-Tillage in combination with Exactrix reduces the need for nitrogen.
  • Rotational Band Loading of TAPPKTS at 7 to 8 inch depths is possible with Mustang Openers. 
  • You need to know that every third ammonia plant in production of NH3 for agriculture is not required with Exactrix® TAPPKTS injected deep in the soil.

The 2019 Corn Production Margin Got Bigger.
Career Bending Yields in Wheat and Brewing Barley.  

Hybrid Corn Yields crowd 300 bushels per acre.

  1. The Quiet Man in No-till at Hugoton, KS Irrigated Production. 20 inch Exactrix® Mustang, TAPPKTS with Micros, 294 bu/a, Pioneer 1370.
  2. Loren and Grant Koehn, Copeland, KS, Irrigated Production, Exactrix TAPPS with Micros, Strip Till 30, Manure. 287 bu/a. Pioneer 1828.

Winter Wheat Yields Outstanding, 2.5 crops in one year.

  1. Cory Weatherred, Triple G, Deerfield, KS, Dryland HWW wheat, Joe variety by KSU Hays, No-tillage of far western Kansas fields provided TAPPS bands of 5 previous crops,

Yields were120 bu to 130 bu./a. No commercial NPKS or micros fertilizer types were applied to this crop due super saturated soils and poor market prices for wheat. No TAPPS or TAPPKS was applied to the 2019 crop.

The residual Mustang deep bands of TAPPS in No-tillage from 2013 thru 2018 (6 crops) developed the unbelievable crop with abnormal rainfall. A fungicide treatment was made in late April with a small of amount of solution 32 included. The sprayer tracked up the field.

Exactrix No-Tillage Rotational Band Loading of 6 years of dryland wheat and corn supported the highest field wide yields ever generated along the Arkansas River at Deerfield KS. The record yield required twice as many combines, bank-out wagons and trucks to haul wheat about 10 miles.

The wheat crop came off the 7,000 acres in record time fighting tornados and hail all the way to the bin. At the last 90% of the acres the race was won, harvest production was reduced to two combines. At the end with 10% acres left to go the two extra combines and stripper headers were sold back into the harvest machinery market to allow other Kansas farmers access to the stripper machines.

Banding into Hybridized Coastal Bermuda Grass Production with Mustang TAPPKTS plus micros. http://www.exactrix.com/Broadcast_07_10_2019.html 

Why is Nebraska off 10% of typical yields?

                        Why did Kansas become dominant in high yield?

                                                            Why did Idaho prove up outstanding brewing barley?    

Exactrix® Rotational Band Loading was the major contributor to very high yields with No-tillage.

Exactrix® TAPPS and TAPPKTS plus micros certainly helped prove the weather was a very big factor.

Exactrix® proves again and again in No-till soils….… Less is More.

12

Why does Exactrix® TAPPKTS with micros always outperform solution 32-0-0 and or dry NPKS in yield and economic performance?

Do not miss out.

Maintain your edge in the game of production.

Your major advantage is liquid injection of NH3 at pressures to 300 psi into streaming flows of APP, KTS® and micros.

Here is your answer. http://www.exactrix.com/Broadcast_09_30_2019.html

The Great Evener of Profitability….The Weather is the single biggest uncontrolled input…in irrigation or dryland Exactrix NH3 assures the best margin in good weather or bad weather.

Good Weather, Bad Weather, Exactrix® TAPPKTS with micros moves more money to the bottom line.  

That means the Exactrix® generated low rate application with crystallization for stability is powerful allowing fall banding.

The low investment rate in nutrients wins every time because it is more crop available with Exactrix Mass Flow.

The yield curve comes up fast and allows higher yields in tough weather…..and also less is invested.

There are more net dollars and better production margins when Exactrix® NH3 is the primary nitrogen source forming 1% CV TAPPKTS at band depths of 7 to 8 inches.  

13

In all commodity crops across Canada, The USA and even Mexico…Exactrix® NH3 is always the best choice in crop production.

http://www.exactrix.com/Broadcast_08_12_2019.html  All farm sizes work well with Exactrix NH3.

14

Across North America, producers that have Exactrix greet the banker with a smile.

There is always more margin and a lot less risk with Exactrix® TAPPKTS with micros.

Some producers have very large farms and meet or exceed their expectations with Exactrix Mustang tool bars.  http://www.exactrix.com/Broadcast_04_23_2018.html

At $65 to $70 per acre for all nutrients… for year 2020 fall banding is very economical.

The budget is made with 125 lbs. N as NH3 with $26.00 of NH3 and 20 lbs. P, 20 lbs. K and 15 lbs. S at $35 and $5.00 for AZn and Micros.

About 7% to 8% of the gross for nutrients in irrigated production…..and another 6% to 8% for yield punch….That is a 12% to 15% improved net margin.

Up to $150 more net income in irrigated production and $60 more net income in dryland corn.

15

Exactrix® producers are generally larger and enjoy a better farming career when costs are reduced with No-tillage.

Exactrix® solves the nutrient management problem.

No other technique is more accepted than 7 to 8 inch Mustang Banding by some of largest and best producers in USA and Canada.

16

http://www.exactrix.com/Broadcast_09_28_2018.html

Sleep well young farm family ………….you have a technological hedge and lowest cost of production.

17

The environmental solution with lowest GHG emissions, Exactrix® TAPPKTS with Micros is especially competitive for large producers.

 http://www.exactrix.com/Broadcast_03_16_2017.html  

Green House Gas Emissions are lowest  with Ethanol and Exactrix NH3 application in No-Till.  VRT site specific application goes to the highest levels.

No other combination will out-compete Exactrix Generated Corn Ethanol or EGCE as fuel blends reach 27%E by 2015

. 18

Every Exactrix® NH3 Storage Tank is worth a $100 to $280 per ton more to the bottom line

Note: The Economics of NH3 Storage.

At $100 per ton, That is 6.1 cents per lb. of N….Multiply out your farm needs per 1,000 acres of irrigated corn with Exactrix TAPPKTS at 127 lbs. N per acre.

The storage savings per pound of N is 6.1 cents (at $100 per T) to 8.54 cents ($140 per T) to $17.08 ($280 per T) ….. that is $7,740.00 to $10,870 to max $21,1740 per 1,000 acres.

Plus you are not applying at the 250 lb. N per acre rate of an old fashioned NH3 system, or a low pressure NH3 system.   

The efficiency of 300 psi high pressure injection at 1%CV provides166% more crop available N. This is so accurate with Mass Flow that another $30 to $45 per acre goes  back in the kitty.

The Storage Credit range is $7.74 to $10.87 to $21.17 per ton typically depending on the retail price, spring or summer, fall or winter.

The efficiency credit is $30 to $45 dollars acre for lost N and depends on the source of N also.

The bottom line improves $40.00 to $55.00 per acre.   That is a lot of money at up $55,000 per 1,000 acres.  The yield punch of Exactrix TAPPKTS and Binary Banding brings forward another 8% to 18% yield increase.

Currently, October 1, 2019 NH3 is available for a fill-up at $320 to $340 per ton…and the NH3 retailer offers Anhydrous Ammonia at $480 to $599 per ton in the spring according to DTN and Exactrix owners observing retail vs. on farm storage NH3.

Note 1, April 19, 2019, DTN Retail Survey,

  • Six of the eight major fertilizers were slightly higher compared to last month.
  • Potash had an average price of $386 per ton, urea $405/ton, 10-34-0 $474/ton, anhydrous $599/ton, UAN28 $272/ton and UAN32 $319/ton.
  • Two fertilizers were slightly lower than they were the prior month. DAP had an average price of $509/ton and MAP $533/ton.
  • On the cost of N/per pound, urea is at $0.44, anhydrous $0.37, UAN28 $0.49 and UAN32 $0.50.

A 176% price swing is observed at Oct. 1, 2019. The big difference is the 30,000 gallon NH3 tank, when compared to April 1, retail. You the producer must pick up the NH3 trailer up at the fertilizer dealership.  If the fertilizer dealer delivers to your farm you will pay. Delivery normally adds, another $75 to $100 per ton to pick up and return of the 1,000 gallon trailer. This 1,000 gallon trailer tank program is an old Coop system that does not exist or never did exist in the western US and Canada. On farm storage is key in the west on large farms with long distances between farms.

Exactrix is a total business opportunity for every producer that uses 70 ton or greater of NH3 annually.  

A high quality used 30,000 gallon to 90,000 gallon NH3 storage tank is good buy at $45,000 to $90,000.

  • Your farm requires help from Exactrix  If you have 5,000 acres of Irrigated Corn or require 384 ton of Exactrix NH3 annually. 
  • This is a lot of money over your farming career.
  • The return is about $40,000 to $105,000 per year just for the storage credit and up to $330,000 for the application and storage credit.  
  • Not including the yield punch of binary banding of 8% to 18%. http://www.exactrix.com/Broadcast_06_24_2019.html
  • Finally you can improve your production cycle year after year. Your farming efficiency goes up for the generations to come. The longevity of NH3 is well known.

Plus you own the NH3 and the storage….you have it on your farm and ready to go……you can apply in bad weather irrespective of the fertilizer dealer support…you can run all night….You can work on weekends in the spring.  

Note 2, Don’t Get Fooled,

  • Since the Coop’s and the Fertilizer dealers are no longer in a competitive climate due to the acquisition of Farmland by Koch, the NH3 pricing is super elevated in retail to allow materials like Urea and Solution 32-0-0 to be economically reclassified as Primary nitrogen.
  • It is an old Middle East negotiation trick to hide the real price. Barter always starts with a reference.  Now the dealer margin on guaranteed analysis NH3 is so high that liquid fertilizers or dry urea appear to the producer to be primary nitrogen.
  • Don’t get fooled, Urea and Solution 32-0-0 are not Primary Nitrogen sources. The products are termed salvage and convenience materials by the fertilizer industry. They are extremely inefficient when compared to Exactrix NH3 as TAPPKTS and micros.
  • Only NH3 as 82.4-0-0, Mass Flow Applied NH3 is 82.4 N lbs. N per 100 lbs. NH3. It is stable NH4 in TAPPKTS.   And in the minor leagues Aqua Ammonia, 20-0-0. Both products are considered primary nitrogen. Aqua Ammonia  never competes with NH3 for guaranteed value and storage.  
  • This is why nitrate or urea is never used in starter fertilizers. The plant…the young plant especially prefers NH4 or Ammonium. The plant when young cannot assimilate nitrate or 34-0-0, 28-0-0, 32-0-0.

You can go to fall football games ….knowing that you own next year’s NH3. It is on the farm. There will not be a hype or a fertilizer supply crisis in the spring. An annual event, The Fertilizer Crisis shows up every 12 months?  

You remember all those years of fear marketing from the local fertilizer supplier. “We may not be able to get NH3” and this marketing comment adds another 10 cents to the price. The comment starts with the oligopoly manufacturer. The producer should always buy when demand is very low.  There is never enough storage when demand is high for NH3.

Storage of NH3 stabilizes the price and keeps the NH3 owner in the driver’s seat.  

Storage of NH3 is favored by the fertilizer industry.  

Note 3. Safety.

  • Exactrix on farm storage is recognized by the Fire Marshall as the safest storage and delivery of NH3 since storage and delivery is engineered with the newest techniques. In every case exceeding K61.1 and state amendments.
  • Liquid delivery approved DOT MC-901 liquid delivery tanks with Hazmat drivers are always safer than a fleet of twenty 1,000 gallon ammonia trailers going up and down the country roads, and never attempting an Interstate.
  • Depending on distances, it takes a fleet of twelve to twenty 1,000 gallon ammonia trailers to compete with a single 3,000 to 3,500 gallon delivery truck.       

The ammonia is paid for in the summer or fall with a fill-up when NH3 prices are at their lowest.  Maybe as low as $280 per ton if you are quick on the draw in summer 2019.  

There are several more advantages (about 20 more) that we need to talk about including improved safety and modern delivery to the field.  

Producers have a really good chance at top yields with Exactrix NH3 and TAPPKTS.  

Storage is Key….in every case.  The used tanks are always in demand. Get a quote from Exactrix.

Quick and Easy, This is one of the best decisions of your farming career.
 “Hey Charlie, Are we headed for Kansas and Nebraska on Hwy 36 to 183 north”?

Every-time…Exactrix NH3 works…NH3 gets better and better with Exactrix®.

Each year new discoveries are made with applied NH3 in agriculture production.

A true statement. “Exactrix NH3 is 166% more crop available.”  Don’t be fooled by poor schooling and lack of correct training.

The industry also prefers stabilized NH4 in the deck as TAPPKTS with micros.  

Power Play Producers, The Power Forwards, The Triple Threat Quarterbacks….avoid the mistakes of solution 32-0-0 and use “the Real McCoy”, deep banded NH3 forming NH4 at 7 inch to 8 inch depths in Binary Banding.

This is a career changing decision for the next generations to come.  

Have you ever wondered why is Exactrix® NH3 as TAPPKTS™ and micros so economical?

        • On Time Delivery, Day or Night, Weekends, Holidays at exceptional distances at triple the previous radius of the storage system with DOT and state approved delivery of NH3.
           
        • Producers that want safety prefer Exactrix® NH3 application and delivery systems.
           
        • Producers that want guaranteed analysis of 82.4 lbs. Nitrogen for every 100 lbs. NH3 applied.
           
        • Young producers that need to expand rapidly from their home base.
           
        • Liquid delivery and storage is a favored approach by many fertilizer dealers that want their aggressive producer to succeed.
           
        • Producers can hedge their NH3 bet on the Futures Market since NH3 is a guaranteed analysis. There is no hedging with volatile Urea and Ammonium Nitrate since there is not a good way to store it, year after year. The chemistry changes rapidly with dry materials.  Storage is key with NH3.
           
        • Storage of N as NH3 without volatilization compared to a 30% loss or greater with nitrate, 32-0-0 and Urea.
           
        • NH3 gives ample warning of any given amount of loss with a visual alarm and a pungent smell.
           
        • Lowest Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions when banding deep with TAPPKTS™.
           
        • NH3 is not a carcinogen. NH3 is an inhalation hazard. NH3 is not explosive and stores well in common steel containers. No special stainless materials are required. NH3 is not corrosive to steel. NH3 can be used to harden steel in manufacturing processes. NH3 and steel is a good inert fit for each other.
           
        • Lowest cost form of transported N in an absolute high pressure guaranteed value.
           
        • NH3 development (Haber/ Bosch) is the winner of two Nobel prizes and supporting a third in the Green Revolution.
           
        • NH3 is making way for breeders and greatly responsible for the green revolution.
           
        • “We have got it and they don’t”, NH3 improves land values with the best economics.  
           
        • About two billion people can make it on this planet without NH3.  What about the other 5.736 billion people that need to eat three times a day.
           
        • Mankind’s population growth of 1.2% per year is largely due to the 110 million metric tons manufactured annually around the world.   
           
        • Commercial crops prefer NH3 to form Amino Acids and Proteins.
           
        • The NH3 technology is absolutely in the top 5 greatest achievements of all time.
           

      Absolutely supported by the top scientists and the USDA as the basic reason for the highest quality food supply system ever conceived.   Ammonium is preferred by the growing crop. New discoveries are made every year about this critical material and how to use it properly.  Corn, Cotton, Wheat, Alfalfa.


       

   25 26     27

Yes even Alfalfa performs better with NH3 as TAPPKTS plus micros in the growing crop with Mustang banding deep at 7 to 8 inches. http://www.exactrix.com/Broadcast_09_03_2019.html

    • NH3 is Always better than Ammonium Nitrate. Urea is often not crop available in cold wet soils and will not convert to ammonium in time. Primary Nitrogen is NH3 and NH4 in the deck as TAPPKTS plus micros.
       
    • NH3 is the lowest carbon emitter of all commercial fertilizers and often is used to capture CO2.
       
    • Yara will now offer lowest carbon footprint NH3 from wind power hydrolysis forming syngas for NH3 manufacturer. Carbon emissions are always lowest with NH3 when hydrolysis is used, Hydro-electric or wind powered.

 https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/07/ammonia-renewable-fuel-made-sun-air-and-water-could-power-globe-without-carbon  

    • NH3 storage also allows less than wholesale pricing of stranded, lost deal, and or uneconomical backhaul ammonia. All transporters know the advantage of running empty on the backhaul. Most transporters know of a good place to dump a half load before returning empty.
       
    • With NH3 storage you are the winner in the summer pricing structure. Let the supplier know you have open storage just about any time.  Take advantage of backhaul ammonia on empty.
       
    • Your Exactrix designed NH3 liquid delivery truck and Exactrix Track Cart brings in another 6,000 gallons of Storage.
       
    • Exactrix NH3 works well in all slope angles to 65% at 1% CV of application The clear liquid state material is ideal for VRT-Site Specific applications. When you observe VRT-Site Specific rate change you will be amazed.  The full rate change occurs in 2 to 3 seconds with Exactrix TAPPKTS formulators.
       
    • Liquid injection of NH3 to 300 psi using Mass Flow allows custody transfer at .002 accuracy.   
       
    • For the first time in long history of NH3,  Exactrix TAPPKTS with micros in crystallized Binary Banding is highly respected on sandy soils of the Great Plains.  Nitrogen Stabilization with TAPPKTS and micros is superior over all other approaches and KTS® is key.
       
    • NH3 works well in the wind, high humidity, rainy and inclement weather where other fertilizer products fail.

 

28

        • Exactrix NH3 as TAPPKTS™ plus micros frees up your workload and allows much larger acres to be managed.
           
        • NH3 is ideal for producers that need to expand over a large Tri-State landscape. Allowing delivery over interstate and high traffic highways with maximum safety. Unimproved county roads become much safer for DOT approved delivery.
           
        • Exactrix liquid delivery fits all producers that need to compete in a world market at lowest cost per bushel produced.
           
        • Storage of NH3 is always the key point in fertilizer industry.  
           
        • Get out of the fertilizer industry shell game and make storage and Exactrix NH3 your number 1 choice in technology.
