Acid-handling Fertigation Systems Available From Agri-inject, Inc.
YUMA, Colo.--Agri-lnject, Inc., the leader in chemigation technology, now offers fertigation systems capable of handling acid-base fertilizers and solutions containing sulfuric acid.
According to Erik Tribelhorn, Agri-lnject General Manager, addition of the special acid-handling equipment was in response to demand in the marketplace.
"We were receiving calls from growers in the northwest who are applying fertilizers with an acid base and in California where they are fertigating with products containing sulfuric acid to correct pH problems in the water," he said. "We did some research and were able to develop an acid package upgrade to our fertilizer injection systems that works well with those applications."
In addition to fittings and plumbing made of materials that stand up to acidic solutions, the acid set-up includes special corrosion-resistant steel alloy pumpheads on the mRoy metering pumps featured on many Agri-lnject fertigation systems.
Acid-compatible polypropolene pumpheads and check valves are standard on Series G pumps available on Agri-lnject systems designed to handle large volumes, viscous fluids and slurried organic materials.
The special package enables growers to include acidic products in their chemigation programs and still enjoy the reliable performance and durability of Agri-lnject's standard chemigation systems, fertilizer injection systems and large capacity chemigation systems, as well as the Inject Pro system designed for use on golf courses and turf farms.
For more than a decade, Agri-lnject has been a leader in chemigation technology and equipment--providing agriculture with improved efficiency and results through chemigation.
