Recently, Nantong Jiangshan’s glyphosate SG pilot production succeeded. Each quality index of 68% glyphosate SG reached the quality standard one-time and the actual yield rate of glyphosate SG exceeded 95%.

The construction of production facility for glyphosate SG started in August, 2008 and completed by the end of 2013. During the pilot production period, the company attached great importance to the process reliability and safety of the production equipment and set up a team in charge of the pilot production. With the assist of the Technical Centre, the formulation production plant optimized the performance of the production equipment and processes and solved existing problems, such as deviation of the hoisting equipment orbit, temperature control of the oasthouse, delivery of liquid material, and one-step granulation. Till 19th, August 2014, the plant has yielded 14 tonnes of glyphosate SG.

For better and faster production, the company summed up experiences learnt from the pilot production meticulously, and plans to improve procedures such as personnel allocation, temperature control of fluidized beds, and material consumption. In the meantime, in order to reduce occupational hazards, the company plans to increase the number of ventilation facilities and staff air showers in workplaces. It is expected that the improved production facilities will raise the annual output of glyphosate SG to 1,200 tonnes.

The success of the pilot production of glyphosate SG marked the fact that Nantong Jiangshan has taken a solid step with its pesticide products towards “formulation” and “branding” development, which enhances the market competitiveness of “JIANGSHAN” products.
