Raw Material Selection: High-grade organic and mineral content (peat, humus, perlite, volcanic ash) are sourced in accordance with ISO 14235:1998 standards. → 2. Preliminary Crushing & Screening: Mechanical crushing and multi-stage screening ensure uniform particle size (0.8–2.5 mm) for subsequent mixing. → 3. Advanced Blending (CNC-Controlled): Ingredient ratios are optimized by computer-controlled batching; specialty bio-additives and nutrients are incorporated. → 4. Pelletization and Agglomeration: Depending on application, soil is granulated (pellet size 2.5–5mm) for improved aeration, water retention, and anti-erosion. → 5. Heat Treatment & Sterilization: The product is sterilized at 85–90°C to eliminate pathogens, delivered according to ANSI/ASABE S486.1 protocols. → 6. Quality Inspection: Comprehensive testing (ISO 17025-accredited labs) for nutrient consistency, CEC, pH, and heavy metal content is performed—see video guidance here . → 7. Packaging & Customization: Bagging uses moisture-barrier materials; custom blends (granular/fine/compost-mix) are available on demand. Materials, Processes & Industry Certifications Material Composition: 35% organic matter, 45% mineral additives, 8% bioactives (Bacillus subtilis, Trichoderma spp.), 10% water, <3% trace elements. Manufacturing Process: Combination of physical (grinding, pelletizing), chemical (addition of chelated microelements), and biological (inoculation with beneficial microbes) steps ensure optimum plant and industrial performance. Testing & Certification: ISO 14235-1998 for organic matter testing. ANSI/ASABE S486.1 for packaging/sterilization. ISO 17025-accredited test labs for full batch certifications. Compliance with EPA soil testing guidelines . Corrosion Resistance & Longevity: Special mineral and silicon additives create a microscopic barrier, inhibiting salt/chemical intrusion—critical in petrochemical and municipal pipeline environments. Application Scenarios & Technical Advantages Case 1: Petrochemical Site Remediation Challenge: Heavy metal contamination, chemical corrosion, and harsh climate jeopardizing long-term substrate integrity in a Middle Eastern refinery buffer zone. Solution: Nutritional Soil with custom anti-corrosion blend was installed across 12,000 m².
