Others fertilizers like: SOP (sulfate of potash), MOP (muriate of potash), DAP (diammonium phosphate) and MAP (monoammonium phosphate) inspection is a process of quality control of goods at different stages of logistic chain, which minimizes major trade risks related to the likelihood of cargo delivered or received not according to agreed specification, not being supplied in agreed quantity or incomplete set of accompanying documents agreed between parties for fertilizers (SOP, MOP, DAP and MAP) export/import operations is issued and received.

CISS GROUP provides fertilizers (SOP, MOP, DAP and MAP) inspection services to large agribusinesses and international trading companies in intermediate storage warehouses, elevators, factories or ports around the world.

The distinctiveness of SOP (potassium sulphate) fertilizer inspection, MOP (potassium muriate), DAP (diammonium phosphate) and MAP (monoammonium phosphate)) is that these types of fertilizers are highly hygroscopic and may cake during storage. Therefore, it is unacceptable to unload fertilizers into open areas (except for fertilizers packed in plastic bags or containers). All warehouses must be completely isolated from precipitation, melt and ground water; maintain a microclimate that excludes drafts and the flow of moist air; loading and unloading operations must be mechanized; floors must be concrete or asphalt.

Accredited inspectors and laboratory technicians from CISS GROUP carry out fertilizers (SOP, MOP, DAP and MAP) inspection at any point of the supply chain.

The main stages of fertilizers (SOP, MOP, DAP and MAP) inspection:

Incoming/outgoing fertilizers (SOP, MOP, DAP and MAP) inspection.

It is carried out during delivery of fertilizers (SOP, MOP, DAP and MAP) to silos or to a port, or at releasing it from factory/silo warehouses. The CISS GROUP inspector will visually assess the condition of the premises for the suitability for cargo storage; will check the cargo itself so that it is dry, not mixed with other cargo, not damp or wet, free from pests, foreign matter, weeds, mold or foreign odors. If fertilizers (SOP, MOP, DAP and MAP) is delivered in bags, the inspector will inspect them for traces of soaking, and if agreed, will perform the selected bag opening for sampling purpose and further visual check of cargo quality.

Acceptance of cleanliness containers / holds of vessels before loading fertilizers (SOP, MOP, DAP and MAP).

This is a visual inspection of containers and empty holds for their cleanliness and suitability for fertilizers (SOP, MOP, DAP and MAP) transportation. The inspector carefully examines their internal surfaces, checks the integrity and condition of locks, hinges and other fasteners on the container doors, rubber seals for container doors and hold covers.

Visual control of the loading process and sampling of fertilizers (SOP, MOP, DAP and MAP).

During loading, the inspector controls the loading of fertilizers (SOP, MOP, DAP and MAP), confirms the gross / net weight during re-weighing; in the case of loading fertilizers (SOP, MOP, DAP and MAP) into the holds - the initial, intermediate and final check of the weight of the loaded cargo by the draft survey method, controls the fumigation process; conducts a visual assessment of the quality of the cargo, takes samples in accordance with sampling rules, forms composite samples. At the end of the loading, the inspector will seal the loaded containers or holds. He enters all the data into reports to which the client gets direct access. Note that the CISS GROUP loading inspection and sampling can be carried out around the clock on 24/7 basis.

Laboratory analyzes of fertilizers (SOP, MOP, DAP and MAP) quality.

We check the quality of fertilizers (SOP, MOP, DAP and MAP) exclusively in accredited laboratories in accordance with international standards and national methods (ISO, CEN, TFI (The Fertilizer Institute)) and others. The determined standard indicators of fertilizer quality of SOP (potassium sulfate), MOP (potassium muriate), DAP (diammonium phosphate) and MAP (monoammonium phosphate)) include: mass fraction of nutrients, mass fraction of impurities, degree of polymerization, pH of a solution of a certain concentration, granulometric composition, bulk density, friability, etc.

Photo and video report.

The inspector records each stage of the inspection with photos and videos. All such data contain the date and time of recorded stage of inspection. At the end of the fertilizers (SOP, MOP, DAP and MAP) inspection, CISS GROUP provides a detailed photo report of all stages of control and inspection.
