Urea Fluff Generator or Substances in Nature Air

    Associate Professor. Dr. Chanchai Thongsopha revealed that the research "Urea fertilizer or nitrate generator from the air in nature" was born from the idea of applying technology to help increase agricultural productivity and reduce the import of agricultural fertilizers from other countries, which has an import value of tens of billions of baht. By extracting nitrogen gas from the air to produce liquid fertilizer using the principle of arc plasma, Plasma activated water (PAW). The research team has divided the research process into 2 parts, including: Creation of a prototype machine for the production of urea fertilizer or nitrate from the air in nature. To determine the relationship between plasma energy modification and the amount of urea or nitrate fertilizer and to analyze the growth in plants after the application of urea or nitrate fertilizer. Comparison of growth rates in plants with normal crop cultivation without fertilizer.

    In the first part, The research team has designed a high-voltage electrical circuit involving the construction of a urea fertilizer or nitrate generator using the plasma arc principle. Plasma activate water (PAW) by creating a pointed voltage discharge electrode electrode with an aluminum grate. It will cause change. The energy of the intermolecular bonding of water (H2O) along with the extraction of nitrogen and oxygen in the air is about 78% and 21%, respectively. This causes a change in the chemical structure. Nitrates are the form of nitrogen that plants need for growth. The research team was able to build a prototype machine to produce urea fertilizer or nitrate from the air in nature with a size of 6 modules with a capacity of 1,200 watts with a budget of 350,000 baht. It has a production capacity of 5-10 liters of liquid fertilizer per hour and can produce fertilizer 24 hours a day, accounting for a production cost of only 50 satang per liter. It can pay back within 2 years, helping to save a lot of budget on urea fertilizer and can also expand the module to support the increase in production according to the needs of farmers, enterprise groups or establishments.
